    You could always weigh it! 100g for pasta bake will not be very much.

    100 grams equals 3.5 ounces.. 3.5 ounces is about the size of a bar of soap

    Why not put the whole recipe into the recipe calculator and divide it by number of servings - when I do this I dont count my 8 year old as he doesnt have a full portion. There are 5 of us but I put servings as 4.

    As others have said 100g will be minute but then again you could have salad or veg with it. :smile:

    Are you in the UK. You can get Rosemary Conley Portion pots from the website and are really useful. They also do a magic measure for keeping track of measurements.

    Screw all that gram/tablespoon crap. Get yourself a lean cuisine meal or something, right..... eat it all, wash out the little plastic thingie in comes in, and then use that as a visual guideline to measure out your portions. Things don't have to be exactly 100g or whatever.... as long as it comes within acceptable perimeters of a portion you should be alright. Measuring everything is lame and wastes too much time.
