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.
How does it waste anyone else's time? It is much easier to pull out of the space forward, you have better visibility to pull out moving forward, With all the new technology in cars and back up warning systems I would still back in a space.
I worked for a company that required you to back into a parking space when you drove a company vehicle.3 -

Because many of us eat a banana out of hand, peeling it as we go. Or we weigh the banana at home, bring it with us to work, eat it at work, then weigh the peel at home.
Do you eat it with a fork? Or get banana remnant on your hand picking it up after you've tossed the handy carrier?
To the question posed up thread, I find the peel usually weighs 40-50g, maybe a bit more if there's a lot of stem left on your particular banana.

Gotta back up sometime.
I’d rather back into a space with little chance of traffic than to back into the aisle where people are in such a hurry they cannot be bothered to let you out.
Time needed is the same, just used at different times.
Therefore, it’s not a waste of time.
But the best is when you can find a spot where you can pull through and not need to back at either end of the session.

For a minute I thought they broke the forums again, and I was seeing posts from chit-chat.
Never mind. Carry on.

I am diligent in logging but am not so obsessive about it that I precisely weigh and measure everything thing I eat.
This may not work for others but it has worked well enough for me and, as with most fruit, I just log the cals for a banana based on whether it's either small, medium or large.2 -

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.5 -

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

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 -
