I love that thing. It's easier to measure food- no clean up.
- Put plate on scale- zero scale.
- Add food. Record amount.
- zero scale again add side dish record amount.
- continue until all food is on your plate.
- Add calories-
- Eat peacefully; knowing you have not eaten more or less than you thought, because grams don't lie. :) Measuring cups are messy and I feel a quandary when using them. Do I really shove the rice in there, or do I lightly sprinkle it in?
Side note: I am passionate about health. When Peter asked me what I would want to add to my new life here in Alta I said, "A friend to exercise with." Truly. I need motivation to get out there and do it. You know?!
Jillian DVDs and treadmills don't quite cut it!
Anyhow, a brainwave came to me: I could study and train to be a personal trainer. That would make me HAVE to work out (lots of buddies) and help channel my new passion for learning about health, and I would have a career that worked into my time table and provide some decent income... hmmm? It's a certification process with a big fat test. Could I do it? Do I really want to?
