Food Scale

By dylanmiles23

Good evening,

At my last support group meeting we got a hand out showing different things to buy. One was a digital scale to weigh food. Is this a necessary purchase? I don't measure, I guess and have the butcher weigh my food raw.

Clothes, today I wore my new jeans! Misses size not woman's. It felt great.

Have a great week.

    yes a food scale is a good idea. you use it to put the cooked food on your plate to make sure it all totals 8oz. or a cup

    Just wondering...is the 1 cup measurement supposed to be physical size or weight? The weight would depend on the mass. 8 oz. of popcorn is a lot more than 1 measuring cup full of popcorn, for example.
