What other questions do you have concerning how to weigh and measure your food accurately?

@alexaellis3209 4 года назад

How do you figure out portions for two people, with different calorie goals for a large recipe. for example I am aiming for 2200 while my partner is aiming for 2,500

@dustin.k.williams 4 года назад

@@alexaellis3209 That is a really broad question that is hard to answer in a simple way. Can you give me a specific example of a meal so that I might better help answer you?

@calisongbird 3 года назад

@Belial 777 you can Google the USDA nutrient database for common whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, veggies, whole grains, and meats, but the easiest way is to look them up in a nutrition tracking app like Cronometer (that’s the one he recommends).

@aleb5195 3 года назад

How about cooking beans from dried. I'm sure they are much heavier cooked so that's what I've been doing. I've been doing oat meal all wrong.

@dustin.k.williams 3 года назад

@@aleb5195 Yeah, I would definitely measure them out pre-cooked weight and use that in my tracking.

Hi Dustin. So if my raw meat was 500gram and cooked was 307g, then I go 500 divide by 307 = 1.62 If I want to serve myself 100gram of this cooked meat then I would go 100 x 1.62 = 162grams meaning that in my fitness pal instead of putting in 100grams, I would change it to 162grams of ‘raw’. Is this correct?

@Musician0489 2 года назад

That sounds correct! Since there is a loss in water retention, 162 would be the actual number you would measure out on the scale and add to your fitness tracker.

@drewtroller-renfree9898 2 года назад

Every week I cook oatmeal in bulk to use for breakfast. When cooking the oatmeal, I boil it it almond milk, rather than water. Much of the milk boils off in the process, however the end product is still heavier than it would be otherwise. What is the best method for calculating the final calory content of the oatmeal?

@dustin.k.williams 2 года назад

The exact same way I explain cooking the meat. Just do the same with the oatmeal instead.

Hey there. When you used the raw/cooked calculation example at the end. Can this work for anything. You used meat. Can this be used for rice too. Dry/cooked rice. I’m struggling w getting the right calculations for rice. I don’t want to have to cook portion by portion at a time. I’d like to make my rice in bulk and grab what I need when planning. I’m so confused in how to figure out my dry/ cooked to know what’s right. Thanks for the video :)

What if we mix vegetables and sauces with the ground beef while cooking it? The math wouldn’t be accurate.

@dustin.k.williams 2 месяца назад

Measure the veggies and sauces before mixing them with the beef.

@daysoftheboo 3 года назад

But some food items change shape when you cook them they can even change in weight like for example the way I cook tempeh is I like to boil it in water, when it's done boiling it feels heavier like it absorbs water and it grows in size, raw tempeh weighs less than cooked boiled tempeh, so in a case like this would it be better to weigh my tempeh before or after I boil it?

@dustin.k.williams 3 года назад

My recommendation is always to weigh food prior to cooking it for the exact reasons you mentioned above.

@daysoftheboo 3 года назад

@@dustin.k.williams ok that makes sense to weigh it before I cook it because the serving size of tempeh is 85g for 170 calories but that 85g piece weighs more after it's boiled but I want to get the exact coloring count

@dustin.k.williams 4 года назад

We all can so easily add more calories than what we think we are!

@rrt401 4 месяца назад

I think you should technically measure caloric fluids using “Milliliters”. Grams are measurements of Mass. Edited to add. Love your video and subscribed!👍🏼

@sherrymiller8167 8 месяцев назад

What do you put the food on to weigh it? You just don’t lay it flat on the scale. That’s disgusting.

@dustin.k.williams 8 месяцев назад

You can weigh your food however you prefer. I don’t judge 😂 but I typically put a plate on the scale and then turn on the scale so that it doesn’t weigh the plate.

@daniel911-o9k 5 месяцев назад

Or just weigh cooked the meat and after cooking add to the scale like 200 grams and then enter 200 g cooked beed

@XhanSoccerChannel 3 года назад

If your scale has a ML or fluid ounce option would you still recommend weighing fluid in grams?

@dustin.k.williams 3 года назад

Technically, you could, but I would still recommend weighing everything in grams to be more accurate. Using a scale for fluid ounces won't always be completely accurate.

@uraqt332 3 года назад

What about when something is frozen? Do you weigh it frozen or do you have to thaw it out?

@dustin.k.williams 3 года назад

In the majority of cases you're fine if you weigh the food frozen or thawed.

@Sttonkeoj 6 месяцев назад

Calorie counting is not a perfect science when you are tracking outside of a laboratory setting. The calorie content changes once a food is cooked as well. The key is to pick a tracking method (cooked / uncooked) stick with it and adjust your numbers accordingly.

@valjean2036 2 года назад

Why did you not just take a half cup of oats and put on the scale to see how many grams it is? That's what I did and if you level of the cup measuring cups are accurate . I'm sure you weighted it the way you did to try to get results you were wanting .These scales are such a marketing tactic. Lol

Does that mean a good levelled half cup of oats is 40g? Because i don't have a scale😢

So if you have your meat in ounces, how do you convert it to grams. All of meat is in ounces(oz)

@dustin.k.williams 3 года назад

The meat packaging should tell you how many grams are in a serving size and the app should let you choose grams
