why u should use a scale vs cups/spoons

guys,for all of u that use scoops/measure cups and spoons, watch this video




as u can see,using scoops and measures and spoons as a way of measuring your food is vastly in accurate,the same goes with your whey protein,u try it out with a scale,i bet u right now ur scoop of whey doesnt weight 30g giving u 22g of protein,those scoops usually give u 20g = 16g of protein...at the end of the day,use a bloody scale that way u will be 100% accurate! this could be the reason u arent loosing fat or gaining muscle like u think u should,all because your measurements are off... for the first week its a hack,but then it becomes apart of your life...just hack it out!!!

Awesome vid very enlightening, my clicks scale is worked over time.

PS: I shmaak that music as well in the background lol

I see the copy and paste gang is back... :haha

Sorry, couldn't resist.

lol the difference is i am a mod on both forums,this work is my own

which is the other forum?

muscle evolution

Nice post there DJ:
So true nothing cheats the scale, newbies here is your key for refining that muscle gain imo!

Still trying to source a digital scale that goes down to 1gram and below (mg)! Broke my old jewelers scale> if anyone has any ides laat my weet;)

Peace

Yeah i weighed i full scoop of the usn fast grow and it comes to 100g, and thats a level scoop. The label says one heaped scoop is 75g. What a rip off. I think they just want you to use excess and finish it in half the time so you buy more

I can understand that its important to weigh your food so you now accurately how much you taking in but why is no emphasis put on monitoring the calories that a person burns every day. Aren`t the two directly proportional?

they are but people think they are eating so much and they are over eating,to burn fat u need to do 2 things,eat less and work more,now if u are eating less(but not acutally cos u are over eating as the video shows) and decide not to cardio cos u are eating less u will actually not burn the amount of fat u are hoping to...

Yip , I got myself a scale.. Was shocked !

I thought my scoop was 50g.. it was more like 25..

I agree but surely as accurately as you should be gauging the calories you are taking in you should be measuring the calories you are burning. I mean with out using a heart rate monitor during a workout is it really possible to be accurate? Surely some workout swill be heavier than others and could vary by 100s of calories/

u can do that if u want,thats just a hack though,and also how accurate are heart rate monitors at guaging calories burned,i mean u can get ur heart rate up to 160bpm for 20 seconds sprinting out side, and u can get your heart rate up to 160bpm for 20seconds by having an orgasm from getting oral sex,the one burns more calories because u are active,the other burns less calories...get what i am saying,u dont have to be so anal about it,aslong as u are taking in less than u need(by being accurate with your food intake) and more active then its fine,the point is that some people are sedate,doing no a activity,drop calories by 500cals a day and expect to loos 1/2 a kg a week,but by now weighing their food correctly they are only dropping by 150cals a day and wondering why they arnt loosing the 1/2kg a week...thats all i was trying to prove by the video...

fair enough..
