I use my food scale for pretty much everything. It really is an eye opener, and doesn't let you cheat saying "this much is half!" when it really isn't.
Any suggestions on a good food scale? Would someplace like GNC (Probably not) carry one? I'm going to be down to a city tomorrow with lots of time to kill and would like to get one.
Wow, just a little overmeasuring can add up to a lot of unwanted calories. I am the worse at this when cooking but am going to be very strict about it from now on. thanks for sharing this great video with us.
Make sure that you get adequate sleep. Good sleep habits are conducive to exercise, experts point out. If you feel worn out during the day, you are less likely to get much physical activity during the day.
In addition, there is evidence that people who are tired tend to eat more, using food as a substance for the rest they need.
At my WW meetings, the leader did this class on tiny bites, or tastes...she wanted us to realize how many calories you can consume by tasting food while you are cooking or just nibbling throughout the day. She took a gallon size plastic bag and for everytime she tasted or nibbled on throughout one day, she put the same amount in the bag. (it wasnt very appetizing looking of course)...but it was surprising how much that added up. Especially if you think about holiday tasting etc......
This is a really nice vid. Nice tips to. I usually use measuring cups when i first cook something. Once i've cooked it long enough then i can just eyeball it. No problems so far so i believe i been eyeballing everything correctly lol.
I actually dont really bother measuring or really calorie counting. I mostly just try to stick to as natural foods as i can if i can and eat smaller portions, staying away from junk and drinking nothing but water... so far its working out for me but this has me wondering if i should be :S. if people who measure and and actually calculate their calories can be significantly effected by small mismeasurements how much will i be effected? maybe i'm worrying too much lol maybe if i hit a brick wall then ill start measuring/ weighing...
