How to Use a Food Scale

In this video, I teach you how to use a digital food scale. If you're tracking your macros, measuring your food by weight (grams, ounces, etc.) than by volume (cups, teaspoons, etc.) will allow you to be far more accurate with your intake.

Thanks for watching!

I wish they teach this in school, basically everything I learn in school doesn’t apply to what’s most important in myself.

Measuring out of the container is a great tip, thank you. Very smart and accurate and one doesn't dirty extra dishes.

Oh wow, this was truly helpful. Especially the tip of weighing the container and then subtracting, genius.

Omg!! I’ve been eating way too much oats and hummus 😳😳😳😳
I am going to buy batteries for my digital scale tomorrow thanks sharing

I never knew the scale showed the negative amount taken out. I will definitely be using that in the future.

This is very helpful at the same time makes me upset why food companies have to lie on their labels ridiculous! So all these years when I measure my oatmeal to a half a cup I'm actually getting more than 150 calories very upsetting

This is literally the most useful guide on YouTube. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

I used to wonder why food scales could show negative numbers and now I'm using this method to measure stuff like peanut butter, jelly etc. That's the best method out there!

Than you so much this is truly helpful🙏🏻✨I’m am so excited to purchase one and start using it for my weight loss journey 🦋🌸

Thanks so much, Sohee!! You told me to to start my fat loss by eating in a slight deficit -- so I'm learning how to track macros! There's definitely a learning curve involved but after 4 weeks, I think I'm getting the hang of it! Going to see how well I do on my own before asking for help though! Fat loss is hard but definitely doable.

I bought a really cheap scale on ebay a couple weeks ago but it seems to work fine. It has the standard measures, kg, g, ounces and pounds. I used it to weigh 1/4 pound beef for burgers. Best way to portion food. I even weigh my coffee to get an exact consistent brew every time.

Great video. This is why its so important to understand nutrition labels and caloric information when trying to lose weight. Food labels aren't always 100% accurate especially if you don't use the proper weight that the food item uses for their serving size.

[andreawiatrek]

That is so interesting 🧐 You showed us how to deduct from the total to get the true accuracy of weight in ounces. I’ll definitely have to try this. Thank you

Ive been eating wayy too much of absolutely everything. Ive lost 170 pounds with gastric surgery but im at a stall right now. This helped me already. I have certainly been eating wayy too much oatmeal... smh

[Hollyleaf]

Thank you for making it short, sweet and easy to understand!

[youngjojo]

😩😩😩😩😩 that's why I have love handles now thank you so much for this.

[adlg]

This was so helpful. Thank you so much. I liked how you showed the measuring, and how to deduct with the entire amount, and pulling out the amount to determine the amount you should have.

so many weirdos in the comments. Great video.
