Using a food scale is the most accurate and reliable way to track your nutrition.
• I recommend weighing foods in grams or ounces
• Nutrition labels are based on weight (serving size in grams/oz), not volume
• That’s why measuring cups can be misleading—they measure volume, not actual food weight
I will occasionally reference items like a “medium banana,” but for best accuracy and consistency—especially when you’re learning—I strongly recommend using a food scale. This builds the real-life skill set you need so you can travel, eat out, and live your life without fear, restriction, or feeling like you’re “on a diet” forever. That’s the goal.
Food tracking itself is not what’s time-consuming—lack of familiarity is. Anything new feels harder at first. Think about it like learning to ride a bike, learning a new job, becoming a parent, or building any skill that matters. At the beginning it feels slow and overwhelming, but with practice it becomes second nature.
This is a skill-building process, not a perfection process.
