no not dumb at all. we have a scale that lists out the exact carbs cals and everything so i measure out exactly 50g of carbs worth of cream of rice. i dont like putting up measurements because for cream of rice its like 331g or just a bit over 1/4 of a cup. some of these carbs are a pain to get the measurements out without a scale. the sweet potatoes is like .2 under 1lb for 100g on the dot. the regular rices are the only thing that is close to easy to measure sizes out with

ahh makes sense. yeah i am eating 70g weighed but it is like 1.5 serving wasn't sure if you were just weight out or if you calculated how man grams of carbs it was for whatever weight. like 50g carbs from cream of rice is prob more than 70g of cream of rice...am i making sense?

yeah i know exactly what you are talking about and whitetail and i had the same discussion. my big dumb ass used to only use oats for my entire diet until i carb loaded for the actual show. so 2 cups is roughly 100g easy enough. well i had no clue about sweet potatoes so i just cooked them up and weighed out my 300g for each of my meals. well low and behold that only equaled out to about 50g of total carbs. i learned my lesson and got a scale that i can enter the food and it tells me exactly how many grams are in it when i am weighing it out. so now i just list the carb values for my log cause the measurements dont meet an exact 1/4 cup or whatever. the scale for me is worth it's weight in gold

i got it from bed bath and beyond. it was only about 30 bucks and the display is almost identical to a nutrition label. kitchen guru is the company and their web site for them is becomegurus.com. like i said i picked mine up at bed bath and beyond for cheap. it comes with a nice book with codes for almost every food you can imagine and it will also store all your daily macro info if you choose to. my wife uses the storage for her's and i just log everything i do
