Link to youtube video showing calorie comparison - weighing and estimating food?
I notice a great video posted as a reply a couple of days ago on the forums. Some guy was showing the huge difference between calories on a days worth of food when eyeballing your food compared to weighing everything. Anyway I can't find it now. Could someone oblige with posting the video or link please?

Daily weighing (I'm a rebel) :)
My weight loss is weird as my weight can fluctuate daily by alot. The way I know if I am on track is by looking at the last month as a whole.
