what a bummer, scales arrived for measuring
food and BOY, have my estimates been 'weigh' off.
One slice of swiss cheese that didn't seem to be even 1 oz? 1.45 oz!
One small cooked hamburg that looked like 6 oz? 8.3 oz!
Damn these digitalized scales!!!!!!!
However, on the very bright side. A very large salad made up of torn Romaine lettuce leaves......only 7 oz.
Armed with the new digitalized food measuring scales and Corinne T. Netzer's Encylcopedia of Food Values, it is time to replot this course of trying to follow Dr. Atkins while meeting only the minimum plus 10-15% of my per day caloric and protein needs based on the average lean body weight computed with the five differing calculators people have listed on this forum for us to use.
Is it all worth it? We shall see, we shall see.
