I weigh my grapes and use usda per 100g in the database.6

I will look for that thanks0

Until you can weigh you can take it at a 3 cal average.2

I agree that weight is most accurate. However it is not always most convenient. I personally use volume and measure grapes by the cup. If I hit a plateau or start gaining I may change to using a scale. I bought several one cup containers for easier meal prep and it’s working for me.2

Yeah and if the person doesn't have a scale yet then what? Don't log at all? Maybe the OP should starve until a scale is procured? Also, did I say weighing was unnecessary? NOPE.
So please tell me again how entering a ballpark number in the short term is the "Worse advice ever". Will it be 100 percent accurate? Probably not. Will it be enough of a discrepancy to do damage to a weight loss effort? Probably not unless the OP is going to gorge on 4 calorie grapes.

Did you ever weight grapes? Do you know what 100g grapes looks like? 100g grapes, according to your estimation of 3cal each would be 23 grapes. Really?
What does it matter if the OP doesn't have a scale yet?!? Good grief. I am not anti-scale I was merely stating that UNTIL the grapes can be weighed to take the average because it is better than not recording it at all. Enough with the grape police act.

Obviously OP isn't allowed to eat grapes at all until they buy a scale.

After this thread the OP probably hired a hazmat team to remove the scary grapes from his/her home.2

Forget the grapes and go for the wine ...you can measure that by the oz. Lol7

This was just to funny and I have a food scale but wasn't sure how many calories are in grapes. I will look for the USDA on 100gm0

which is why you weigh them0

Worse advice ever? See below for why you always WEIGHT your food when tracking.
How many people are going to have access to champagne wine grapes? Or eat them for that matter, even if they do, given the thick skins and big seeds of wine grapes? Most table grapes - you know, what the average person is going to buy in a grocery store - are approximately the same size.

Weighing is more accurate, I agree.
But this sort of thing I often go by x per individual one, like this.
Unless you are eating huge quantities, or grapes very different to the usual size, it will average out and make very little difference in practice.0
