To measure weight or volume

I do both but never sure what one I like more. Chicken I do in weight sometimes I can eat it some not. I forgot which one my nut said to do volume or weight I'll have to ask her Monday. What do you do?

  • I measure volume. Your stomach's ability to handle volume was restricted, not the heaviness of the food. That said Fluid and dry oz measure up pretty closely for most foods in small quantities, so

    I do both too. It is a little hard to measure out a piece of chicken. If it is ground meat I normally measure, veggies I measure, fish I weigh(they come in 2 ounce filets).

That said Fluid and dry oz measure up pretty closely for most foods in small quantities, so it's not that big of a deal. That said, I just use a measuring cup to portion out my food. You can also look up the equivalents (tbsp to fluid oz, for instance).

NUT told me from beginning to always measure the volume

sofw said it well........

ie eating 1/3 cup volume of peanuts can be a lot - whereas 1/3 cup volume of chicken (i will cut up small peices and measure in cup) won't be as many pieces, but will be same correct quantity (hope i said that right)

won't be the same weight as peanuts (the chicken) but the volume is correct - that is what your tummy can hold
