okay so does anybody ever think the weight proportions of fruit are off? mainly on things like bananas, apples, peaches, pears, fruits that you eat whole, because when i whey them, things i would consider to be a small sized fruit end up being classified as large fruit according to the weights, and i do weigh it after i take the skin off the banana, or take the core out of the apple and stuff, but does anybody else feel like the weight scale is off too?

A lor of fruits arecomposed mostly of water...that makes them pretty heavy...

I recently got a food scale and found that you are definitely right!   I don't think I have found a single carrot that is even as small as a medium, and I didn't think I was buying especially large carrots!  I weigh only the edible parts of the food. Banana after I peel it, apple after I cut it, and so on.  I don't know that it even really matters that much, but I feel like I am a lot closer on my counting now!  But you are right! The sizes are really off sometimes!

ha okay, well im glad its not just me that thinks that.
