I don't always want to mess up a plate or waste a paper towel just to weigh a peeled banana, and I'm not going to sit it naked directly on my food scale. Thus the weigh, tare, peel method.
But paper towel is evil...
Because it's processed (nodding).I can’t believe how many people weigh with peel, eat, then weigh peel. Just take the peel off, weigh it, and eat it. It’s like people who back into parking spaces. It just wastes everyone’s time and is unnecessary.

I missed the "it" in the bolded on my first read and wondered if maybe I've been using my food scale wrong all along

With a lot of chemikillz.I can’t believe how many people weigh with peel, eat, then weigh peel. Just take the peel off, weigh it, and eat it. It’s like people who back into parking spaces. It just wastes everyone’s time and is unnecessary.

I think that was probably a typo. I have a pretty good idea of how @pinuplove rolls, and I think you nailed it.5 -

:laugh: It = banana! (the food item - I know what you're thinking!)
Although I do weigh myself naked or almost naked, I do not think my food scale is up for the challenge, and as it is very small I also don't think I could successfully sit on it, naked or otherwise.4 -

If this were Chit-Chat, I'd ask what are you wearing when you weigh your banana. But it's not, so I won't.

LOL I think I just answered that as you were asking...
I think I inadvertently dragged us into Chit-Chat territory with the word 'naked'

I could just imagine you sitting on your countertop trying to weigh yourself on your kitchen scale, not to mention the contortionist maneuvers required to read the display. (I am not picturing you naked, you can keep that image).3 -

Remember to hold your breath while you eat the banana since a lot of waste is expelled by respiration.
More sort of on topic, this morning I was surprised when a banana that appeared smaller than the one I ate yesterday from the same bunch weighed over 10% more.3 -
