4ounces by weight or volume ?



Recommended Posts

Which one do you do ? Which one is right?

Puree phase I did 4 ounce to fit in a 4 ounce container. Now I'm 6 week out. 4 ounces of Solis food won't fit in a 4 once container. ( it might if I cut it up)

I want to do this right...

I bought so many 4 ounce containers now I'm thinking of just buying small container's for meal prep.

Depends on the food. With a chicken breast I go by weight, yogurt by volume.

Buy a scale. I found out 4 oz of chicken is a lot more meat than 4 oz of steak as the meats and foods can be denser. If I would have guessed I would have been wrong so the scale is really working for me. It also teaches me what 4 oz looks like. Good luck! I'm 3 months out and halfway to my goal. During the "honeymoon" period I have been very strict and cautious as this is the
