Do you have a digital food scale?

There should be a thread on this. Don't allow the marketing department of corporations tell you what 'serving size' is right for your body. The serving for a 20 year old male construction worker isn't the same as for an 80 year old female. That's why many foods are 'per 100 g'. It's independent of serving size and maps…

Fresh cut pineapple with soya ice cream. A brand I like is: www.swedishglace.com It's sometimes hard to find but worth searching. Don't measure by volume. Measure by weight.

Rice is calorie dense. So it's important to weigh it. Cups are the devil's measure and a source of 'invisible' calories. Do you have a digital food scale?

I like oatmeal. Cereals are calorie dense. You need to measure by weight, not volume. Cups are the devil's measure. Who here has yet to buy their first digital food scale?

The 'cup' used by this website is just a name for a portion. The software just adds the numbers and doesn't care what the portion means. You can define it as 250 ml if you want. Many dieters find that convenient because many plastic bottles come in 500 ml, 1 liter, 2 liters. If you put a 2 liter bottle beside your computer…

It would be insane for a database to include the calories in banana peel. Apple core is harder to define but the principle is the same. An apple is listed as 52 calories per 100 grams. See the handy USDA database that uses 'edible portion' http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/list I assume it doesn't include the core I've…

License renewal is a dull job. If the workers realised their jobs are mostly a waste of taxpayer money, they'd hate their jobs and the public even more than they do now. Get rid of height and weight. Make it last until the driver is 70 years old. Make it so the police have to give you 5 days notice if they want to see it.

Is your scale digital? If so, the scale is *easier* to use than cups. It allows infinite variation of amount. Cups and spoons are fixed sizes. The scale doesn't care about full, sifted or heaped. The scale doesn't need washing (if you put your plate on it), cups do. The scale allows tare (add&weigh): put the plate on the…

Correct. US Fair Packaging and Labeling Act applies to most prepackaged food. It requires labels to state the amount in metric *AND* non-metric units. http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fplajump.shtm

A modern digital food scale will weigh in grams and ounces. Some people say buying a food scale is the best $20 they've spent on dieting.

There are no magic food items that make you lose or gain weight. It doesn't matter what you eat. Just log accurately and stay within your allowance. If you do that, you'll lose weight. Just make sure you measure accurately. Cups are the devil's measure - you can fool yourself about the amount. With food scales, you can't…

Labels are written by marketing departments. Use the label to find out what's in the food, not how much to eat. Have you got a food scale?

Well put! That's why European food labels say "per 100 g".

I agree with others that say get a food scale.

Scales show inconsistent readings when the battery starts to fail. Just a thought.
