MFP - teaching people the importance of weighing vs accuracy instead of measuring.

(I hope this doesn't post twice - I thought I'd posted it but it wasn't there...)

    Lol. I learned that whenever a product label says it contains about 2 servings, that really means it contains about 1.6-1.8 servings.

    I opened a bag of jelly belly's to portion out and found by weight it had 2.25 servings. I used to divide the bag in half and call it good, so Im glad I measure now too!

    Wait until you see how much a serving of pasta is. Depressing.

    @TheBeachgod Depressing yes... but now I know why I got so dang fat!

    @pitbullmamaliz I do this on a regular basis, and I believe I have the exact same scale. For things that require a spoon, I do negative weight... zero it out... spoon out peanut butter (or whatever) because I know I am going to lick that spoon!

    LOL I bought it at Target a couple years ago. So simple, but I love it!

    Yeah, that's been weird for me to notice as well. I would have figured they'd have MORE than the stated servings.

    Fortunately I legitimately prefer spaghetti squash most of the time, so I shouldn't have to face that dismay any time soon!

    That's a really good idea. The honey I just squeezed directly into the mug. Haven't had to figure out peanut butter yet as I'm new to this weighing stuff. But I'll keep this tip in mind!
