I just wanted to ask if any of you weighs their food eg your chicken breasts, steaks etc. I want to buy a digital scale. Also I was wondering WHERE do you get the nutritional value of let's say a 8 ounce steak? I am a little embarassed but i don't know how many grams of protein a steak or a chicken breast has. I know i take adequate amounds of protein but now i am in the 6th week of my diet and i want to be as precise as possible. The fat is melting fine (hence 2 times cardio a day for a total of 70 mins plus the weights).

FITDAY.COM - also lets you track your daily consumption & training (although you'll have to enter a lot of the foods your self. Most of the ones listed are like batter dipped deep fried chicken with skin & stuff you want to stay clear of.

Nutritiondata.com - has most everything, and gives amino acid profile, vitamin & mineral composition as well as fat, prot & carb breakdown.

And yes. I weigh or measure (volume) or both every single thing that I consume. A good one is made by Salter - Model 1400. I got mine at Bath Bed & Beyond. I don't remember what I paid, but it will measure in metric or retard (sorry I mean lbs and ozs). It measures to the gram or to 1/10th of one ounce. An additional feature, is that it has like 999 foods pre-stored in it's memory. You place the food on the scale, enter it's code & it will provide you with Calories, Prot (g), Carb (g), Fat (g), sodium, fiber & even cholesterol in that particular food. I think you can even store that, zero the scale, add another food (say strawberries) and repeat the process to get the same information for the strawberries. Add that to the running total, and I think it gives you the combined total of your whole meal (as long as you've room to place the whole meal on the scale, one item at a time, and add their components to the running total.

I really love this scale & use it for everything that I eat. Honestly, though, I don't use the special features, just the weight. Then I go to my own system & enter the food & weight & my system totals, accumulates, averages blah blah blah. If the food that I'm eating is not on my system yet, I look it up on nutritiondata.com, then add it to my system for future reference. Then, once that's all done, I actually transfer all the data over to fitday.com, so my nutritionist can see every day what I'm eating (and yell at me if anything gets out of hand).
