I’ve been using a food scale for years, yet I still have moments where I discover I was eating more than I thought.
Last night, I was packing some avocado mayo for lunch and decided to weigh it instead of going off the typical 1 tbsp=100 calories; Instead I went off the 14grams=100 that was on the label.
My “TBSP” was actually 26g when I weighed it, so I was closer to 200 calories. I usually scoop two TBSP which resulted in 58g or 4 servings, instead of the 2 I thought I was having. That’s 200 more calories than I thought I was eating.
Even as a food scale veteran I’m reminded to weigh EVERYTHING because you never know how much you’re eating. Just imagine how many people out there who eyeball their measurements are overeating
