    Don't listen to peoples ... "assumptions" on what 3oz is.

    Thickness & length determine weight, not the numbers of carrots. Go buy a cheap digital scale at Wal-Mart for $20.

    Though it doesn't answer your question directly, I would highly suggest an investment in a digital scale. Recently I picked up this one on Amazon for $25 "EatSmart Precision Pro". You will thank yourself later.

    As for the carrots, it's hard to guess what 3oz would be without actually seeing the size of these baby carrots. All baby carrots are not sized and weighed equally.

    target has scales , multiples right around 20 bucks, walmart carries some right in the same price range.
    even if they are cheaper and not 100% medically accurate , its ok ..

    How many servings per bag? Until you get a food scale, you can just split the bag into 5 servings (a smaller bag has 5 servings).

    Hope that helps:happy:

    You can buy an inexpensive food scale on Amazon or at Walmart.

    ^^^ this

    baby carrots vary in size. weighing your food ensures accuracy. volume measures and assuming every piece of food you eat is an average sized portion are not so accurate.... and this inaccuracy can kill your entire deficit and cause you to not lose weight

    How many calories are even in a carrot? If you guessed and were off by 50%, what would that be, like 20 extra calories?

    Go buy a cheap digital scale at Wal-Mart for $20.

    I got mine for about $10 including free shipping on amazon.com!

    Seriously, get a scale, then weigh out the oz or g of carrots into little baggies for the entire week. Plus all your other snacks. I also re-use my baggies, so they aren't wasted.

    Anywhere from 5-20 carrots. I've had baby carrots that were thicker than my thumb, I've had baby carrots that were only 1-2 mm thick.

    Food scale!

    Get a kitchen scale and find out.






    Seriously get a scale. They're cheap and mine had been indispensable as a fitness tool.
