Thanks everyone! Very helpful. I will continue to measure and weigh everything from it's raw state as I do now (and try to measure rice and pasta from a cooked state). Thanks!

Are you concerned about calorie content or sugar content? I'm not sure about the ripeness of the fruit and what impact this has on calories, but obviously the riper a piece of fruit is, the more sugar it has, due a chemical reaction (can't remember what it's called, as I'm not a scientists, just a foody:) For example, I…

You're not being unreasonable at all! If your husband is anything like mine, then he probably didn't listen when you were explaining how important it was that his friend be out of the house.
