I adore my food scale. What I like best about this one is you can easily switch between ounces and grams. Once I got it through my head that serving sizes almost always list a volume AND a weight, it was amazing how much easier things became for me. Rather than having to measure out a 1/2 cup of refried Beans, just put a bowl on the scale and put refried beans in it until I get to whatever weight it lists. For me, it's just so much easier to measure by weight than by volume.

First a food scale - I measure everything

These are all great!! Thank you! I'm happy to see a couple things I already have. Did NUT classes teach you how best to weigh/portion/track/calculate your nutritional info?

but not to go off point but absolute staples that have made my life easier, are sugar free cool whip, not lite or fat free but sugar-free, and sugar-free pudding and Jello.

I think Bento Boxes are going to be lifesavers and I am really hoping to find some good freezer meal ideas--so far I've really liked the recipes from Eggface and the Protein Chef.

Thanks! I'm hoping the magic bullet I have is going to work for me (still in the box), especially in the first few stages. Have you seen some of the homemade whipped cream recipes from Life According to Eggface?

yea those arent sugar free though and still require heavy whipping cream, i stay away from sugar completely, at some later date i will re-introduce a lesser amount of some sugars in my diet but in this easy way out to use the sugar free cool whip, it just works for me.

Fair enough. I totally get the convenience factor! I kinda liked the cost-effective aspect as well as adding flavor. Maybe I'm missing something, but heavy whipping cream has no sugar and sugar free syrup is sugar free, where's the sugar? (Keep in mind I'm a newbie happy to learn if I'm doing something wrong here) Thanks!
