:bigsmile: scale If you don't weigh things correctly you will be a bad judge of things
If your not careful with Chocolate it can sneak up on you.
Never get caught with your *kitten* up in the air after eating to much
and avoid greasy foods there hard to measure and could slip out at any time.
BUTT when it come to water you should measure in round about cups not ounces.

A food scale is your BEST friend. But if you don't have one yet and need a comparison, most nutritionists will tell you that 4 ounces of protein is approximately equal to a deck of cards. So one ounce would NOT be a half deck of cards. Sorry...0

scale! don't estimate. I got a cheap scale for about $10 but it does the job so that I don't have to guess and be over or under in my guess.0
