ha ha no no definitely not raw... meant cold pizza when you put it in the refrigerator and eat it cold versus after warming it up in the microwave.. the grams are less after heating it up so that was my question but I guess I am just over analyzing it... guess you can't go wrong with using the higher number anyway haha

Yes I know all of those and how to figure it. That is how I used to count my calories until I found that most all food packaging or restaurant nutritional information has the grams on them which is equal to all other info on the package incluing calories. The grams are exact to the calorie intake. All prepackaged food has to weigh the amount on the package or more. So all the times I was basing my calorie consumption of 1/8 or 1 package estimates, I was really consuming more calories. The scale is what helps to make sure everything is exact. For me that is what works.

I know the calories are the same. LOL

I am talking about grams, you know the number on the scale?

When you add your calories here on calorie count you can add them based on the amount your food weighs which in turn makes your calorie intake more accurate.

If the same slice of pizza weighs more before you cook it and less after you cook it which weight do I use????

So if I weigh it when it is cold that is adding water weight???

Sorry I missed yesterday!!

Hello I am joining half way through lol! I hope you don't mind. I uses to participate in these challenges all the time! I started CC July 18th of last year and went from 186 to 136 in 5 months! :) It was great after that I maintained it for about 4 months but then I got a bf and kind of started slacking a bit... since then I have tried to jump back on the wagon but have failed. As of now I am getting my motivation back and ready to lose some weight!! :) I am back up to 153 and want to get down to 125, my major goal, but once I am back down to 135 I will start feeling good again! So I am hoping these little monthly challenges can be a motivator for me and I am looking forward to weighing in on fridays as well as mondays for my own personal weigh in!
