Food scale

[lost180]

I finally broke down and bought one last week. I must say I was surprised at the weight of things. Meat in particular. Before I had the scale I always heard that 3 ounces was about the size of a deck of cards but when I put 3 ounces on the scale it seemed like a lot more than that to me. Maybe these people are using giant decks or something. Or I'm just bad at judging by eye.

Eyeballing is definetly tough, especially if you've never measured before. Even now I still weigh my food most of the time because I know my eyes see what my stomach wants them to sometimes

Another thing to keep in mind is raw weight vs. coocked weight. Not the same thing.
