Pre-packaged foods

Okay, so I got a BodyBugg and did my consultation with my coach - she warned to still weigh all of my food, even if it is pre-packaged, such as 100 calorie packs, a slice of bread, etc. I didn't think it was a big deal, but thought what the heck, lets see what it is.

Okay - EVERY single 100 Calorie pack was off. Like it would say 1oz is the serving and it would be like .75 ounce. I felt really ripped off. I even opened a second package and added enough to make it an entire serving and I got like 4 more pieces.

I cook Tilapia all the time, they are pre-frozen and say 4 oz on them. I weighed them, 2 of them were 3 ounces and the other two were 4.5 ounces. THEN, I measured 1 slice of bread - it was TWICE as heavy as the label says it is. So when I eat a sandwich, I really consumed 4 slices of bread. No wonder I go for a week and think, damn I have been so good and I haven't lost an ounce! Damn it all to hell!

So, I am going to go to Wallyworld tonight and get a digital scale so it can be more accurate.

I just thought I would share!

I think it is false advertising! I had an unopened box of the Oreo 100 calorie packs and it measured exact, but - the individual ones were all different. That is pretty screwed up.
