Proper Measuring

Members Were Sparked

When you are posting a recipe or adding a food to the nutrition tracker, please post the weight measurement in either grams or ounces instead of listing it as "a serving". Servings can be different for everyone, but if it is a measured amount, there is no mistake about the amount of nutrients.

Measuring Cups

Easy measureing. Since servings are not always easy, for things like cereal, I keep the proper serving size measuring cup in the container. I get the exact serving size without having to pour into a measuring cup.

MORE INFORMATION:
You get the exact serving size rather than having more and gaining weight from improper serving sizes.

Smaller Plates

I found that while I was measuring everything out into proper portions there was so much room left on my plate, and I still felt hungry after I was finished (my brain thought I wasn't getting enough). I switched to using smaller plates and while I still have the same amount of food on my plate it looked like I had more.
