Fresh Start - time to unlearn what i did before.

Servings Per Container on food labels
Are they really accurate? I'm not talking about serving size... i'm talking strictly the amount of servings it claims to have. I have a box of pumpkin spice flavored cheerios for example. 140 calories serving size 1 cup or 36grams. ("8 servings per container") When i poured all of it into a zero'ed out scale there was a…

How do you log Marinade?
How do you log marinade. When I marinade chicken for the week, i'll use the entire bottle. But obviously plenty of marinade is left over once I pull out the chicken dispose of it. Is there a tip to marinading chicken if its 15 calories a serving... how many servings probably get absorbed by the chicken breast.

Weighing Apples.
Is the best way to weigh an apple to log, weighing it before you eat it, weighing it after you eat it (leaving the corre) and logging the portion you ate. Or should i just log the 80 calories and not over think it?

Help figuring out where the calories come from.
So I just made a box of the attached. It's Margaitaville Jamacian jerk shrimp. It's 600 calories for the entire box. But here's the piviot. I didn't eat all of the sauce, in fact I put it in a strainer and shook it up really good. LOTS of the oils fell out, leaving just the shrimp and some of the heavier spices. I know…

Me im guilty of assuming…

Steps a day Confusion.
So experts recommend that you take 10,000 steps a day. Whether that be a stairmaster or actual stairs at the office, it seems a bit excessive? I know the empire state building has roughly 1400 actual steps so does that mean they want you to walk up and down equivalent to 5 empire state buildings a day?
