I definitely use it to reflect on. Think of this. A 100g (about 3½ oz.) chocolate bar is 550 calories, give or take. That is a fat gain of 73 grams (more than 2 oz!) just for that, or - alternatively a weight loss of 73 grams if you choose to say no thanks. It really puts things in perspective. I find it hard to say no to chocolate, but I find it a LOT easier to say no to a 73 grams gain (or less lost).

-2.4 lbs in one day
