on average each gram of carbs is 4 calories. take total calories for the day and multiply by .25. divide that answer by 4 and you will get the total grams of carbs for the day.

well i finally broke down and bought me a food scale because i was tired of guessing how much food i was eating. now hopefully i can keep track better of how much everything weighs and can account for it better.

Well i know i probably should not have ate the orange that has been sitting on my desk all week but i did. it was good and sweet. i guess the treadmill will have to put up with me a little longer tonight. I hope it dont screw up my weigh in after work.

@NM No Big. One orange ain't shit. I am certain you earned it. Have a great weekend.

I am PLANNING to buy a scale this weekend. So I can keep REAL track of my chicken intake. I have been eyeballing it myself. I just need to FIND one that's not crazy expensive.
|
@knuckles, the one i bought was roughly $20. it only weighs in oz and grams. it doesnt do the calorie count and all the bells and whistles..but that is ok with me. i just want it to weigh food.
