Hi twofoofers

Do you have a food scale? Like you, I switched from stuffing solid foods into measuring cups to weighing them, simply because it depends too much on how tightly you pack food in.

I found, of all things, a postal scale to be the cheapest. The food scales with any degree of accuracy were horrificaly priced. The digital postal scale was much cheaper. Mine does ounces and grams, and lets you do tare, so you can put a container on it, zero out the weight, then add the food. Try Staples or WalMart.
