Measuring Food



Recommended Posts

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?

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! ;)

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.

I use My Fitness Pal to record all food. I measure my food with measuring cups and a food scale. I also have a portable scale if I'm put and need to measure something.

I have my fitness pal and use it occasionally. What is everyone's emails so we can all be buddies?

I've been using calorie counter. I like it because you can put in barcodes from foods without having a camera on the "phone" I have an I pod.

I need toi get a scale.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
