happycrazylion 9 Posted July 23, 2012 How are you measuring food? Measuring spoons,cups or scale? If a scale what kind? Also how do you find the nutriential value of foods you make? I know there are apps or web sites to do this but which ones are good? 1 Silly Phylly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silly Phylly 20 Posted July 23, 2012 Good question! I am a newbie too and just getting started on my journey to being sleeved. We need to learn all we can upfront! I actually was wondering about this earlier. To keep from stretching or prevent sickness from overeating we need to be able to visualize an appropriate amount. Kinda funny that this eating expert is going to have to learn how to eat! Let's see if some of our advanced experts will give us our answer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IsB 209 Posted July 23, 2012 My fitness pal, measuring cups and a food scale are how I've been doing it. My Fitness Pal offers different measurements for the same item with is very useful. If you have something that doesn't lend itself to being scooped in a measuring cup you can switch the app to grams and put the weight in instead. 1 Silly Phylly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
