oz per food group


Quote  |  Reply

Hey everyone,

 I've been dieting for what seems like all my life and have finally bought a food scale.

Do you know how many ounces of each food group to eat each day?

it doesnt quite work like that

spinach has lots of nutritional value, where iceberg lettuce has next to none. however, they both weigh nearly the same.

same goes with fruit.

what i suggest is looking up the suggested serving size per fruit or veggie, and then weigh them accordingly.

personally, i dont measure out my fruits and veggies per their weight, i weigh them as i use them. I dont know if that made any sense, but i hope it does!
