Measuring and Weighing Food

So a show of hands out there.... How many of us actually weigh or measure our food?  Or are you more of a scooper and dumper on the plate?? I will admit I am a member of the fill your plate club which is why I need to lose weight.  So I dug my food scale out and have been weighing a few things such as chicken and pork to stay somewhere between 4-6oz.  But here is the thing... today I was fixing a bowl of cereal (Golden Graham's) G's favorite, and looked at the box and a serving is only 31 grams.  That's not a lot considering the plastic bowl when empty weighs 20 grams!  But I still only had a serving of cereal whereas I could easily ate 2 or 3!  I have no idea what we are gonna have for supper tonight either.  Stay tuned for Supper!

  1. Most people don't know how much a true serving is. Mom used to use a scale on Home First.
