"One line" is not an accurate measurement. You really need to use a food scale if you're taking calorie counting seriously.

With that said, if you are still waiting for your food scale, your dealer is hopefully weighing accurately, so you can use their numbers and just round up. An eight ball is 3.5 grams, so you can just divide into 10 lines and then round up to 1 gram per line. Since you don't know if your coke is laced with something else (always a risk), you can just assume it's the same calorically as pure fat and count each line as 9 kcal. The real problem comes if your dealer is giving you a little extra so you like them better... they're allowed to be off by as much as 20% but sometimes it's actually way worse! That's why your food scale is so important. For accuracy, I would recommend weighing to the milligram for things like coke or butter. - https://www.amazon.com/Homgeek-Milligram-Calibration-Tweezers-Weighing/dp/B071GYVQF3/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1524001935&sr=8-2&keywords=milligram+food+scale&dpID=41AscMuQCzL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

For all the people like me who realized a push up measuring cup was a fantastic idea, but didn’t know they existed, here it is in all its glory. Review and all. Just ordered one!

Measuring cup!

u/kittengymnastics · 10 pointsr/proED

I have this food scale. It's on sale right now for $9 on Amazon. I love it, I've found it to be very accurate.
I honestly would say it has made my food anxiety both better and worse. Like I know for a fact I'm not underestimating what I'm eating which helps me. But also I now weigh literally everything I eat, including slices of bread or rice cakes or whatever else.

u/AmNotLost · 8 pointsr/Coffee

Replying to confirm that I make the best coffee I've ever had with a skerton and v60. Here's my entire set up. These aren't necessarily the best in their class, but they do me well.

-Digital scale (or anything that measures in grams)
-Gooseneck kettle (they make ones that are electric, as well)
-Flow restrictor for kettle (not required, it's just what I have)
-Hario skerton burr grinder
-OE mod for skerton (not required. again, it's just what I have)
-Hario v60 02 (I have the clear plastic one)
-Gerber Pure water (available at Walmart, any "spring water" is what I recommend. My tap water smells of chlorine, so even Britta water is gonna be a bit better than my tap water. You want water that's not too hard, nor too soft. So don't use distilled or RO water or "mineral" water.)
-Digital timer (not required, but I like to time things)
-Hario filters (there's a couple different kinds, try any you want. Mine are the white without the "tabs")
-I'm not linking my mugs/servers. But whatever one(s) you use, I recommend preheating them.

(Edit to add: I have other methods of making coffee. This is just my personal overall favorite.)

u/neuromonkey · 8 pointsr/Breadit

Percentages in baking are just a way to establish a ratio between the flour and the other ingredients. This is an alternative to expressing things as specific quantities. It's useful because it doesn't demand that a batch be of any particular size. You could start with 10 grams of flour or 10 kilos.

There are baker's scales (I have this one) that provide for this way of doing things. You plop the flour on, hit "%" (which establishes "100%") and then measure all your other ingredients based on that starting point.

u/blooper98 · 8 pointsr/simpleliving

Don't buy the kit - maybe this will help in addition to enfier's comments

(1) Cleaning. You will want to buy oxyclean versatile free. This is an oxygen based cleaner I use for homebrewing, laundry, and general purpose cleaning.

(2) Sanitizing. Star san is the standard, you can start with a small bottle ( a little goes a long way). I recommend going to the dollar store and getting a 1L spray bottle for application.

(3) The boil. You will need a 4 gallon stock pot to do 2.5 gallon batches. 2 gallon stock pot for 1 gallon batches. I bought a 4 gal stock pot for $20 dollar off amazon. "Bigger is better" is often preached on homebrewing forums, I am happy with 2.5 gallon batches for apartment brewing.

(4) Chilling. This can be pricey. for 1 gallon batches, no chiller needed, just an ice bath. For 2.5 gallon batches, I found a chiller to be a nice time saver, but the cost was not an issue for me. Don't spend more than $50 (amazon pricing)

(5) Fermentation vessel. This will hold the beer while it ferments. For a 1 gal batch, get a 2 gallon food grade bucket (amazon, or try your local super market for a better price). For 2.5 gal, get a 3.5 gallon bucket. Always want 1 gallon of head space above the fluid level.

(6) Fermentation chamber. This is often the biggest expense in both money and space. Temperature control will allow you to make better beer, but you can make perfectly fine beer without it. Consider a Craigslist mini fridge and ink bird temperature controller ($30). Swamp coolers are common for beginners. (bucket, water & revolving ice packs).

(7) Bottling, odds and ends. You will probably want to use a siphon and bottling wand to fill your bottles. Do it over a dishwasher door (if you can) because you will spill / drip. You will need a bottle capper & caps. I recommend a cooking scale I have this one for measuring water by weight, and grains (if you get there). Also useful for cooking in general.

(8) Cost. By the time you buy: cleaner, sanitizer, stock pot, fermentation bucket, siphon, capper, bottling wand you are looking at $75-$100 dollars. You can get the optional ferm chamber, scale and chiller for another $125 dollars.

Good luck, feel free to hit me with questions!

u/PureMichiganChip · 7 pointsr/Coffee

I use a Pyrex measuring cup and can get a pretty controlled pour. Most people already have one of these around the house. Not trying to dissuade anyone from getting a goose-neck, but something like this is probably the next best option if you don't have any kind of kettle.

u/Madarcon · 7 pointsr/ExpectationVsReality

u/vallary · 7 pointsr/knitting

Honestly, I think 6 months is probably enough time, BUT you have to make sure that you don't procrastinate on it and be all "I have tons of time" about it. If it takes you only 2 months, but the first 2 months, that's great, you can do other stuff!

You might want to estimate your time at the beginning though, so once you get your yarn, cast on knit a few rounds, then weigh the ball of yarn you're knitting with. (order a digital kitchen scale if you don't already have one. I use this one and really like it) Then, set a timer and knit for 1 hour. Then weigh your yarn again to find out how much yarn you used in that time. From there you can see that if you were able to knit 2g of yarn in an hour, and the 1800yds of yarn weighs ~205g (this is based on the yarn called for in the pattern, your yarn might be slightly heavier or lighter) you'll know that you need about 102.5 hours to complete the project, and you can set daily or weekly knitting time goals as necessary (I really recommend setting your goal to finish at least 3-4 weeks early, to give yourself a buffer for mistakes or life events that impact your knitting time, and to get it blocked).

u/Emilbjorn · 7 pointsr/cocktails

I would never go for a manhattan shaker. They are notorious for locking up, as soon as there's a bit of liquid in the cracks (unless you buy really expensive japanese ones). They are also harder to clean than the simple two cups of a boston shaker, and the extra strainer isn't really hard to use.

I haven't used a parisian shaker, but that seems like it could do fine, but might lock up on you.


My own kit is made of a lot of individual stuff. Some from amazon, some from local shop, and some from china. If you want, I can do a writeup of where i got it, but since it's from china, it will take a month before you will receive the goods. However, the guys behind AbarAbove.com recently launched their quality bar tools line. They have a complete set of tools, which all seem to be of great quality. They have only gotten 5-star reviews so far: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LVY7VMH. It's $63 for the complete set.

Or you can just buy their boston shaker for $20, and this excellent strainer from OxO ($7), along with this measuring cup ($5)

Then you have a pretty good starter set. A fine strainer can be bought in most dollar stores locally for next to nothing, or you can find one on amazon. They are pretty much all the same, but it isn't really required if you're just starting out. I also have a bar spoon, a mixing glass and a muddler, but to be honest, I rarely use them. If you need to muddle something, use a wooden spoon or something. If you decide you really need one, look for one which is at least 6 inches long, to avoid bashing your knuckles on the edges of the shaker, or google "morgenthaler homemade muddler".

Hope your GF will be happy with your gift!

u/dragonbubbles · 7 pointsr/Kratomm

For diamonds and precious gems of course. You have to blow that gold dust out every once in a while or it can affect the accuracy just from getting stuck under the plate. I thought my old trusty was done for but once I blew it, it was up for more action and still going strong 😉

I know you said you needed it ASAP but if you ever want to upgrade this is a good milligram scale and then this one looks good because it comes with calibration thingy but I have no personal experience with it.

u/Sapphi_ · 6 pointsr/1200isplenty

For small snacks that are around 100 calories I eat the following:

  • Skinny pop 100 calorie popcorn, I find these in my regular grocery store but I you can also find them at Costco or online
  • medium banana (around 100 calories but you have to weigh it to be sure)
  • light Greek yogurt (many brands are around 100 calories but check the labels carefully because many are more than that too)
  • light cottage cheese
  • tuna pouch with 1 tablespoon of tartar sauce mixed in (most pouches are smaller than the cans and around 70 calories, I buy the Kraft tartar sauce which is 30 cal per tablespoon). The flavored tuna in a pouch is really good too, especially the buffalo flavor and lemon pepper flavor. When I buy the flavored pouches I eat them plain instead of mixing with tartar sauce.
  • 1 granny smith apple (like the banana, you should weigh it to be sure, but an average size apple is usually around 100 calories).

    I weigh everything with a kitchen scale. When I'm making a recipe from scratch I weigh all my ingredients and add it all up to get the total weight and the total calories. Then just divide the calorie total by the weight total in grams and that number is the calories per gram. Then I weigh out my serving in grams and multiply that by the calories per gram number and you will get the total calories per serving. It may sound like a lot of math but it's really quite simple and quick once you get used to it.

    I bought this scale from Amazon for $10 and I've been very happy with it.
u/ffmurray · 6 pointsr/PlantedTank

looks like anchorworms to me, hookworms are an internal parasite. I am not completely sure if its anchor worms from the pic, but that is what it looks like to me, do some research and make sure

The first step is to do a water change (as you know water changes are the first step to pretty much every aquarium problem) frequent water changes will physically remove larva from the tank.

To get rid of any worms that are on the fish but not yet attached you need a bath of potassium permagnate. It can be found as a powder here on amazon. This stuff is a very strong oxidizer and you need to be careful getting the dosage correct. A good scale like this one is key. You are looking for a dosage of 25 mg/l so for a bath pour 2 gallons of water into a clean bucket and let it get to tank temp. After the fishes water temp and the bucket temp match, add in 0.190 grams of potassium permagnate. Make sure it is completely dissolved before adding the Betta. once completely dissolved put the fish in the bath for 30 minutes

The anchorworms that are already attached are very difficult to kill off. They have to be physically removed. Get a pair of tweezers and some nitrile gloves, rinse the gloves with tap water and then tank water. holding the fish in your hand put one finger as close to where the worm is attached as you can get while still being able to get to the worm with the tweezers, the goal is to support the skin of the Betta while you pull the worm out. placing the tweezers as close to the head of the worm as you can get pull the worm out in a quick smooth motion. repeat as needed to get all of the worms off of the betta(make sure that you put the fish back in water between pulls to keep everything wet).

next treat the tank with Dimilin. three treatments spaced 5 days apart, because it does not kill anchorworm eggs. during this time you have to keep your invertebrates clear of the tank. As with any medication remove the carbon from the filter if present.

After this, you may want to treat the tank with aquarium salt. This is controversial. I personally think that it is not a bad thing if properly controlled, but you have to have a real attention to detail to make sure you keep it at the right concentrations. Bettas natural habitats are paddy fields, floodplains, ponds and marshlands. they did not evolve in salt free tap water, there is natural salinity in these locations. I not saying they are not freshwater fish, they certainly are, but carefully controlled salinity can help prevent fungal and bacterial problems. You have to be very very careful though, to much salt and you will destroy their kidneys. Lots of research and attention to detail are required for this.

Hope the fish comes out ok! keep me updated.

u/highenergy2 · 6 pointsr/Fitness

this one has been great for me youll get the hang of it. pay attention to food labels and such. you can probably get away with only measuring the high calorie stuff. like all dairy, meat, bread for example.

say youre making a cheese burger...you can weigh the ground beef or read the label of a pre made patty (typically 250 cal per 100 grams)..weigh the cheese (cheese is typically 100-110 cal per 28 gram), and weigh the bun. if its a kaiser roll you get that figure from google. google might say 1 kaiser roll (200 grams) = 300 calories. if you think your roll is particularly big or small you can weigh it then its just simple math to get the total calories.

stuff like lettuce, onion, and such is so low in cal that it might add up to like 30 calories...not really worth measuring imo.

do this for your meals...the simpler the meal the easier to measure!

u/reverendfrag4 · 6 pointsr/Breadit

I have an Escali Primo and, in my opinion, you can't beat it. The price is great, it stands up well to abuse, the batteries last a million years, it has an 11 pound capacity, and you can read it if you have a large bowl on top (which is a problem with the lovely flat glass scales).

u/lunargrade · 6 pointsr/malefashionadvice

Paying postage online (such as via paypal shipping) will most likely be cheaper than paying at the post office. If you don't have a scale already, I recommend Escali primo or similar, weigh the item and print the labels.


For supplies, you can get free USPS priority mail supplies shipped to your home. I recommend at least ordering the USPS padded flat rate envelopes, since these can't be found at post offices and are usually the most cost-effective for 1+ lb items the further away the buyer location is and assuming the item fits. Weight the item and compare shipping quotes.


Definitely include measurements as buyers are bound to ask. Might as well have them there. Post as many pictures as you can to highlight the details or flaws.

u/KittySnoogins · 6 pointsr/1200isplenty

u/o0turdburglar0o · 5 pointsr/DIY_eJuice

This is the version of the "blade" scale that you would want... 0.01g resolution... but it's only good for mixes up to 100g.

Unless you're ok limiting yourself to batches of like 80mL at a time, you should consider a different scale.

The typical scale used around here are 500g limit with 0.01g resolution, like this one.

u/QNIA42Gf7zUwLD6yEaVd · 5 pointsr/canada

/r/keto is a good resource, check out the sidebar for piles of links, or dive in and ask a question.

80lbs down for me, works great. At the base of it all, it's still calories-in-calories-out, but it's so much easier to feel full and satiated on a keto diet, plus I feel much better without sugar/starches/etc. (that's all 100% anecdotal, not scientific data, but that's been my own experience with it!).

They say fitness is 80% diet and 20% exercise, you can't outrun the fork, and muscles are made in the gym but revealed in the kitchen. In my experience, these sayings are absolutely true. Your first step should be to control your diet, and get a handle on how much of what you're eating.

Before you go nuts, buy a digital kitchen scale, one like this, and set up a myfitnesspal account. Then, track and log your diet for about a week or two. Eat like you normally eat, but track everything, and be brutally honest. You might be surprised by what you find.

Then, figure out what you should eat. /r/keto has good resources for this - you want to figure out something called your "TDEE" - "Total Daily Energy Expenditure". If you want to be safe, assume that you're "sedentary" when calculating this. That'll tell you what you need to eat to stay the same weight you are now. Then, just subtract from this to lose weight.

So (just for example - figure out your own numbers!) if your TDEE is 2000 calories/day, then eat 1800 calories a day, and you're running a 200-calorie deficit. At 3500 calories per pound of fat, that deficit will get you losing somewhere around a third to a half a pound a week.

Myfitnesspal tells you how much to eat (and tracks how much you've eaten), and /r/keto can steer you right in terms of which foodstuffs to eat. The scale tells you exact grams of this and that, and all you need then is to introduce some exercise and baby, you've got some fitness going!

Best of luck!

u/motorwerkx · 5 pointsr/loseit

A digital scale and a measuring cup are all you need. A decent digital scale only costs about $15. This is the scale I have. http://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-Digital-Multifunction-Kitchen-Elegant/dp/B004101GQC/ref=zg_bs_678508011_25

It can be purchased for the same price at Walmart and a few other retailers as well.

u/ritchie70 · 5 pointsr/Advice

Almost all packaged foods have serving size both in "Standard" units (which vary - most things are by volume) and in metric, which is uniformly either ml or g.

My bet is you're eating more than you think.

Buy a little digital scale. I've been happy with https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005OSUIYG .

Weigh everything and track what you're eating.

For drinks, if you go with "1g = 1 ml" you'll be close enough, because that's true for water, and most drinks are mostly water.

u/funchords · 5 pointsr/loseit

Absolutely get a food scale. This is the one that I bought: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OSUIYG/

For the rare or odd homemade thing, the Law of Large Numbers applies. When you do one of those generic "homemade" searches, don't always pick the lightest one or the heaviest one. Pick the one that is just a little heavier than the average, just to be on the safe side. It'll be close enough and the Law of Large Numbers will eventually take care of you.

For the frequently eaten homemade thing, learn to put in the actual recipe into MyFitnessPal and log a portion. You'll have it there for the future.

Learn how to copy yesterday's breakfast or last Tuesday's lunch into today. Saves a lot of time.

I use these guys for scales in my classroom. I was able to outfit a class of 12 with enough for everyone to have their own for the cost of one scale from Flinn.

You might check out pocket microscopes like this one. It can't magnify as high as a traditional microscope, but they're $10 instead of $500

u/BipolarWithBaby · 4 pointsr/guineapigs

You need to be weighing your guinea pigs often. Weekly is best IMO. If you’re consistently weighing, you will know if your pig is underweight/overweight, or if they’re rapidly losing weight (which is often one of the first signs of illness in Guinea Pigs)

One like this would work just fine, and is super affordable. Place a bowl or box on top, tare, and put your guinea pig in. I’d keep a log of weights for every time you weigh them. This is crucial in assuring they’re at a healthy weight. You can find some great information on normal weights and normal fluctuations here.

OP -- Just to clarify, do you mean one of these? Because A, it's advertised as microwavable. B, almost everyone I know has this brand and microwaves it all the time, including myself, and I want to make sure the future mass cleansing of my kitchen from Pyrex is justified.

u/alysli · 4 pointsr/askfatlogic

First, I'd like to invite you to join r/loseit, Reddit's weight-loss sub! You'll find a very supportive group of people there. We have a daily question thread there where literally any questions you have can be answered, and a fantastic beginner's guide linked in the sidebar that you should definitely read.

You don't need a gym right now, and in fact 80-90% of your weight loss will come from diet, not exercise. So your first step, I think, should be to create an account with MyFitnessPal (download the app or use their website) and begin logging every. single. thing. you eat or drink. Don't worry about weight loss, don't worry about meeting calorie goals, just log everything for a week so that you can get an idea of your baseline intake and begin to get used to logging (it's annoying at first. It quickly becomes second nature.).

Then, go to Sail Rabbit and enter your information (don't worry about the body fat percentage if you don't know it). I like Sail Rabbit because it has finer-grained levels of activity to choose from, with different levels of "sedentary" that you can pick to match what your lifestyle is like. You may want to then adjust your goals in MyFitnessPal to what Sail Rabbit calculates for you (though, MFP does pretty good on it's own once you plunk in how much you want to lose, so you can absolutely use their recommendations). I'd aim for a 1 or 1 1/4 lb loss per week. That should be a gentle enough reduction from your regular intake that with some smart decisions like buying lower calorie bread or replacing some starches with non-starchy vegetables you shouldn't feel like you're suddenly starving. Making sustainable choices should be your goal here; don't replace rice with cauliflower rice if you hate cauliflower and figure you'll go back to eating rice later, because that's not a sustainable lifestyle change for you (it wasn't for me. I do eat cauliflower rice, but I also eat regular rice, just in smaller quantities).

Now you'll have a calorie goal for each day, which you can sort of think of as a bank account. You'll have something like 1800 calories to "spend" each day on food and drink, and you can decide if you're going to do that or "save up" 100 calories Monday through Friday so that you can use that extra 500 on Saturday for an extra slice of pizza or whatever. If you want to make things easy on yourself and use pre-packaged things with set calories, go for it, just drink a lot of water because they're usually high in sodium. Consider purchasing a food scale (I use this one) so that you can be more accurate with your measurements of things, particularly when you're cooking and also prepackaged stuff (you'll see on nutritional labels that servings will be listed as something like "3/4 cup (54g)"; when you weigh your servings via grams, you'll have a better idea of how much you're eating and exactly how small something calorically-dense like a serving of peanut butter really is).

If you'd like to start exercising at home (It's what I do and it's actually personally done wonders for my anxiety levels. Remember, it's not for weight loss, it's for building strength and muscle, increasing cardio health, and giving you energy.), there are a million exercise videos on YouTube. I started with Leslie Sansone walking videos which are, admittedly, kinda cheesy, but also gentle for beginners. That channel has some of her entire videos available, from 1-mile to 3-mile walks. Jessica Smith also does walking videos and is a little less high-energy chatty than Leslie is. She even has a Fit in 15 series of 15 minute workouts (that link's to the first one) that focus on different body parts and a variety of different types of workouts, like barre, chair yoga, etc. If videos aren't your thing, Darebee has a bunch of free workouts and programs; this is their Foundation Light, which is for people recovering from injury, who have joint issues, or who are severely overweight. I'd recommend starting out trying to exercise at least 15 minutes a day twice a week and then increasing time and eventually days from there as you get used to it. I do NOT recommend throwing yourself all-in at a 5 or 6-day a week program because if you're like me, you'll either get hurt or burn out really quickly. Just because something is a "30-day challenge!" doesn't mean it has to be done in 30 consecutive days.

Whether you want to weigh yourself daily or weekly or monthly depends strongly on your personal feelings toward the scale and your weight. If you DO want to log it daily, I like the Happy Scale app. Get a tape measure and take measurements. Write them down so you can get giddy when you start to lose inches but don't see much movement in the scale (seriously, it happens and it's weird and annoying). If you can stand it, also take pictures in swimwear or underwear from the side, front, and back, so you have reference photos from your beginning. Yes, it feels awkward, but when you feel like you're not getting anywhere and compare later photos to your first ones so you can see the differences that have occurred, you'll be glad you did it.

Good luck! It's a lot of work, but it is so worth it!

u/Ohthere530 · 4 pointsr/intermittentfasting

A kitchen scale is a really easy way to measure things like this without getting measuring spoons and cups messy. Just put your cup and the scale and pour like normal.

u/sjg138 · 4 pointsr/Coffee

I love my $10.49 scale (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026KXU7W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

Have been using it daily for a year for two espresso drinks. No issues. I weigh the basket+ground coffee before putting them into the portafilter.

Out of curiosity, is there a scale out there with a built in portafilter holder rather than just a flat platform?

u/DrGamut · 4 pointsr/Nootropics

Quit messing around with the scoop estimates and get a scale. I strongly recommend the Smart Weigh JDS20. It's a lot better than the Gemini-20 scale because you can use weigh boats with it.

Scoops measure volume, but owing to the differing density of substances they are not an accurate measure of weight.

u/emtilt · 4 pointsr/alcohol

Buy yourself a shaker, and an accurate measuring cup/jigger. I like this one.

Some options:

  • Grab some fresh limes at the grocery store. Pick up a bottle of gin - doesn't need to be too expensive but don't go bottom shelf. New Amsterdam, Beefeater, etc, will work for now. Grab a bottle of Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur and a bottle of green Chartreuse. Put 0.75 oz each of fresh squeezed lime juice, gin, Chartreuse, and Luxardo into your shaker, add lots of big hefty ice cubes, shake until very cold. Strain the liquid into a cocktail glass or whatever you have on hand, and you have a Last Word.
  • Grab some rye-forward bourbon or rye whiskey - again, no need to go super expensive at first but don't go bottom shelf. Maybe start with Bulleit (either regular or the rye version). Get a good vermouth - Carpano Antica Formula is the classic, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino is cheaper and has a very similar flavor profile. Get a bottle of Angostura bitters. If you want, optionally get some good cherries, like the Luxardo brand ones - the neon pink ones from the typical grocery store are not adequate. Put about 2 oz whiskey, 1 oz vermouth, and 1 or 2 dashes of bitters into a mixing glass. The ratio of the whiskey and vermouth can be adjusted to your preference once you try a few. Add lots of big ice, and stir until very cold. Strain the liquid a glass, and optinally add your cherry. Enjoy your Manhattan.

    There are many more options. The tempatation will be to buy a bunch of shitty liquors and liqueurs. They will not taste good. I really recommend trying a smaller number of nicer things. This goes for things like beer, too. Anything will get you drunk, but alcohol can also taste amazing - don't miss out on that aspect.

Myweigh KD-8000 a little pricey but uses AA batteries instead of the watch ones. It also has the option to use an AC adapter. Those features alone have paid this thing off. For those complaining of auto shut off this thing has a setting that lets it stay on indefinitely. Other cool features include a bakers percentage mode and the ability to calibrate. The only con I would say is that it requires a 5kg calibration weight to calibrate. Those things are expensive! I found mine to be true from the factory.

I bought it with the optional AC adapter. In hindsight I would of saved myself the $15. This thing has seen daily use with the same pair of AA's for the past few months. If you have rechargeable AA's you can save yourself some $$

The USDA site has calories per gram of pretty well anything you want to look up.

We use this model Escali scale and it's been great.

u/breadnbutterfly · 3 pointsr/Cooking

My first scale was a cheapy little scale from brandsmart. It did the job and was accurate. And it had a tare feature for zeroing out the weight of the bowl or container your measuring in, but several things bugged me about it. First it would auto shut-off in about a minute, which generally meant I had to be watching the read-out, just in case I went to go grab another ingredient and it shut-off. Another was that it only held about 4 lbs, so i couldn't measure large quantities. Oh and the batteries, the battery life was only a few months, and it used those expensive circular batteries.

So when I got my new scale I made sure to look for something that would give me everything I needed. This new one is great, it doesn't auto shut-off for 4 minutes, it weighs up to 11 lbs, and uses regular AA batteries, which I have yet to change! Best thing it was only $25.

So things to look for:


  • tare feature
  • length of auto shut-off
  • type of batteries used
  • weight capacity
  • ease of cleanup

u/ZenOfPie · 3 pointsr/Baking

The Wilton chart is for 2" pans.

A 3" pan will hold more batter.

You want to fill a cake pan no more than 1/2 to 2/3 full, depending on how much the batter rises - I have a recipe for Red Velvet Cake that rises more than usual so I use a deeper pan or go up to a 9" pan when making a full recipe.

However 6" cake pans are perfect for making smaller cakes for one or two people so I use them much more often than my larger pans these days as there are only the 2 of us and neither of us have much of a sweet tooth.

a 6x3 pan has a total volume of 5.8 cups. So 1/2 to 2/3 of that is what you can safely bake in it - 2.9 cups to 3.9 cups of batter fills it.

an 8x2 pan has a usable volume of 3.5 c to 4.6 c

a 9x2 pan has a usable volume of 4.4 c to 5.9 cups

Most recipes are for 2 layers.

The easiest conversion for your smaller pans is to find a recipe intended for a 9x2 pan and make half of it - that will make enough for 2 layers using 6x3 pans.

Because recipes vary somewhat in the actual volume they make, you will probably need to experiment a few times. Using an 8x2 two layer recipe could give you just enough batter (if the yield is at the low end of the range for the pans) or a bit too much (if it yields at the high end). No big deal, just make some cupcakes as well and adjust accordingly next time you make the recipe. A little math will be involved is all.

I'm curious, is the book to which you refer one of the Small Batch Baking books? My experience with those was also negative. The problem, I believe, is not with the recipes per se but with the way they are measured. Cake batters are extremely susceptible to small changes in ingredient quantities. Even when making "normal" quantities of 2 8" or 9" layers, variations in ingredient quantities can easily "break" a recipe. And when measuring by volume, quantities ALWAYS vary.

I strongly recommend switching to by-weight measuring for baking, especially for cakes. There are at least 3 pretty good recipe books that give most or all measurements by weight.

The Cake Book

The Cake Bible

*Great Cakes

If you've had trouble with cakes, switch to by-weight measures. It's amazing how much difference it can make in your baking. It also makes dividing recipe quantities much easier. Scales are quite affordable.

I own the Polder KSC-310-28, currently on sale at Amazon for $21, a real deal since I paid a lot more for mine.

http://www.amazon.com/Polder-KSC-310-28-Digital-Glass-Silver/dp/B000G2OTM2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369835990&sr=8-1&keywords=Polder+KSC-310-28+Easy+Read+Digital+Glass+Top+Scale%2C+Silver

I also own the Escali P115C Primo, which is ok but I like the Polder better, plus atm it's more expensive (normally the Polder is the more expensive scale).

http://www.amazon.com/Escali-P115C-Digital-Multifunctional-Chrome/dp/B0007GAWRS/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1370129662&sr=1-1&keywords=Escali+P115C+Primo

Also many people swear by the My Weigh KD-8000 "Baker's Math" Scale. It's a bit pricier but it is pretty heavy duty - manages up to 17 lbs! You can get a power cord for it (though you can use batteries if you want to) - search on "Old Will Knott Scales" to find where you can get both the scale and the power cord (plus full details on the scale itself).

u/WritewayHome · 3 pointsr/loseit

I feel for you, and it sounds really rough. The good news is weightloss is 90% food and 10% exercise, so you can totally do this!!


<br />
**Here is how I suggest you start:**<br />
<br />
1. Use Myfitnesspal https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myfitnesspal.android&amp;amp;hl=en . Myfitnesspal has been a complete lifesaver for me. It shows me what foods are really breaking up my diet and what I can eat in a manageable way. An example is I can still eat 4 servings of chips, and put them into the app. But I don't touch anywhere near as much chocolate as I used to. I didn't realize how powerful a few small high calorie chocolate pieces were. I also changed the bread I eat because it was extremely high calorie. You'll find it will give you a LOT of insights into your diet. Weight loss really is 90% diet if you want to be honest. <br />
2. Set the app to lose 1 pound per week and it will give you a very generous calorie amount. After a month, if you really want to shed the pounds off, you can do what I did and have it burn 1.5 pounds a week.<br />
3. Get a food scale so you can know your exact proportions. Here is an example of one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OSUIYG/<br />
4. Get some sort of exercise in. At the very least **try walking 2 days a week for 30 minutes**. It's VERY very addictive. Schedule the time in EVERY week, same days. If you have a friend or a significant other, walk with them. The walk will spur you on and help you do higher levels of exercise as you continue on your journey.<br />
<br />
Good luck!
u/vondahl · 3 pointsr/xxfitness

I've been using this one for well over a year now and it definitely gets the job done. It's really simple to use and you can switch to ounces, grams, kg, lbs and use tare. I'm thinking of upgrading to a more sensitive scale though - this one tends to not pick up on really small measurements if something large is on top, like when my ceramic bowl is filled with a huge smoothie and I want to sprinkle chia seeds on top.

Otherwise it's great though - you can put your blender on top of it and weigh and tare the ingredients as you go.

u/mark55 · 3 pointsr/microdosing

Several thousand dollars?
17 dollars. With what you've done with your solution, slowly but surely, the material will break down. I suggest keeping it cold and away from light.

Scraping 2mg off of glass to put into a capsule is almost impossible. I have been there! Luckily, I have done something similar, needing small doses of a substance and wanting them in capsules for ease of dosing, so I'll tell you how I did it.

What I did is cut up tiny pieces of paper towel, say 1cm wide and 2cm long. Dropper 2ml of your %95 alcohol solution onto each of these strips and allow the material to evaporate on them. When no longer wet, roll the piece of paper towel up and put it into a capsule. Voila.

Reply if you plan on using this method, and if not, what you plan on doing. I am interested, because I have this substance and I wonder if it would be good to microdose.

Hope I helped!

Essentially a quick release plate head will let you put more weight towards the front to offset the fact that the plate is built with more weight in the back. I use this on my plate.

u/NotQuiteVanilla · 3 pointsr/loseit

Lesson here -- find the PERFECT spot to put your scale and DON'T move it. I was so frustrated with the $20 Walmart scales that I bought a Withings scale (totally a splurge, my husband thinks it's ridiculous but indulges me). Anyway, by the reviews I thought I'd be golden and get to avoid the all of the cheaper scale issues....

Nope. I moved the damn thing from the bedroom to bathroom and it weighed me TEN! pounds heavier. I had been weighing myself daily and losing quickly on whole30 so it was irksome to lose all of my weight loss badges.

I concur that you should get good tools. A tape measure is cheap, amazon has good food scales. I bought this one to replace a previous flat one I had: http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Digital-Kitchen-Stainless-Temperature/dp/B00UIVIXVO/ref=sr_1_6?s=home-garden&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1458486534&amp;amp;sr=1-6&amp;amp;keywords=etekcity+scale I like the bowl feature and it looks nice on the countertop. Weighing my food I feel is more accurate than most measuring. Logging on MFP has really helped me learn calorie counts. For instance a bun is around 120cals and the same as a lower cal turkey burger.. so I could have a turkey burger with bun or have 2 turkey burgers with lettuce. I go for lettuce wraps.

u/In_nomine_Patris · 3 pointsr/AskBaking

Jumping on the "scale" train.

I have a cookbook/textbook called "The Food Lab" by J. Kenji Lopez. In it he has several people measure out flour by volume in order to make a pizza. None of them were the same by weight and there was some serious differences between them.

Baking relies a lot on proportions for ingredients and a scale is important to make the right measurements.

I have This one and it works great for measuring baking ingredients because of the bowl. But most will work as long as it measures in 1 gram increments.

u/KratomIsFuckingEvil · 3 pointsr/quittingkratom

I feel exactly like this at the moment. I am a guy working a very high-pressure engineering job. I'll be fired very quickly if I am not 100% in a state of mind of ample creativity, enthusiasm and drive.

I started taking kratom about 18 months ago. While on it, I got this job, and I got into a relationship with an absolutely amazing girl.

But all this is a lie. They gave me this job based on my kratom'ed out personality. And this girl probably fell in love with that fake personality. Double life - I know exactly what you mean.

Nobody knows except for these internet strangers.

Over the last 4 months I've been trying to quit kratom from a 50g/day habit.

Last week, I came off kratom completely for 5 days. Brutal physical withdrawal. But I took a week off from work and told my girlfriend that I had the flu so I couldn't see her or text/talk to her. On the 5th day, the physical symptoms disappeared, and I thought I was free. But only then I realized the true depth of the problem. The acute symptoms were nothing at all. Over the 18 months, my brain has forgotten how to do anything with an innate sense of motivation and enthusiasm. I can only do anything while on a dose. On day 5, I was basically vegetative laying in bed all day. Zero dopamine for even basic bodily functions like drinking water or peeing let alone having the motivation to do anything for work or for my family and girlfriend.

I had no choice but to go back to the green shit. Back on it now. We both are so plugged into the lives we're living built on top of the mountain of this green shit. Removing that mountain would mean the lives would fall apart too.

We would wish more than anything that we could just pause our lives for a few months so our brains can recover the ability to do anything at all. But we can't stop this train. I won't tell you things are going to be easy. I can't know that for certain.

But I know for certain that you are a good mom and wife - kratom or not. Always will be. Don't ever forget that. The decision to go back on wasn't easy for you. But you did it to save your family. Never for a second feel bad that you relapsed or kept it from your husband. You had no other choice. Things in the past, let go.

Focus on the 'now'. We have much harder things to worry about now. We have to get off while keeping it all together. I am tired too. I am scared too. But we're going to do it. Random person on the internet, I don't know anything about you, what you look like, where you are, but I know exactly what you're going through.

So here is the fucking plan:

  1. Make up your mind today that you're going to get off this green shit. You're going to do it for your children, your husband and for you. Take those feelings of futility, fear, betrayal and burn them into your mind instead as determination to get off this green shit.

  2. Next, buy a precision scale. This one: https://www.amazon.com/AMIR-Back-Lit-Function-Stainless-Batteries/dp/B01HCKQG7G

  3. Order Kratom cheaply. Don't let this green shit get you into debt. I order online from &lt;a vendor with the name of a greek primordial goddess&gt;. $99 for a kg. Don't spend any more.

  4. Copy this spreadsheet. This is your divine scripture now. Plug in your current daily dose and give yourself 6 months to taper off. The sheet will tell you how much your doses will need to be. Measure out your doses and record them. Remember that you made up your mind today to get off. Stick to the plan. Like commandments from God himself, follow the spreadsheet blindly.

    It's going to be hard for the both of us. But we're going to do it. History has shown people have done much harder things. Think of the recovering herion addicts who've managed to keep it together and continue on living well. Their struggles are on an entirely different level. We're not so unfortunate. We can and will do this. A month or so in and you've shown progress with your taper, tell your husband. Trust me, he will understand and be delighted with your progress.

    We're going to keep it together. We're going to replace the mountain of green shit underneath our lives with ourselves bit by bit, gram by gram. Have faith. Never forget that you're a good mom and wife always and forever. Let's forget decisions made in the past and focus on our tasks now. You are not alone.

How are you measuring the calorie count?

If your not using a food scale and weighing EVERYTHING you eat (every single bite, lick, sip, etc...) then you are likely eating more than you think. Measuring cups are not accurate and estimating portion sizes is worse.

u/Icearstorm · 2 pointsr/BirdHealth

Feeling the keel may be more useful, as a muscular but an underweight bird could weigh the same as a fat out-of-shape bird since muscle weighs more than fat. Combining both keel sharpness and actual weight is a more effective way to judge health. It's also a good idea to part the feathers and check for fat deposits on the abdomen and crop region once a month or so.
I usually do a keel and fat check after I trim my birds' nails. They are society finches and hate being handled, so I don't usually weigh them; the last time I weighed them (about a year ago), they weighed 13.59, 14.55, 14.53, and 14.36 grams. Interestingly the lightest bird looks the largest since he doesn't hold his feathers as tight against his body when he's relaxed. I think I got a scale like this.

u/Joshua_Naterman · 2 pointsr/Archery

I'd use the 3 Rivers dynamic spine calculator to help you with that. It isn't the only one out there, but it's free and works well.

For weights, 12 USD will get you this scale. I find it to be very helpful and of excellent quality. This way you know the total front-end weight of your arrow, not an estimate.

To use that calculator correctly, don't worry too much about tip vs insert weights, just make sure that the total is the same as your total. You'll notice that if you swap them around it makes no difference, because all the weight is still at the front of the arrow and thus will influence the dynamic spine so similarly that for real-world archery purposes they are the exact same. I just screw mine together, and I also weigh my nocks (I add weight to both nock and tip to get a very heavy shaft with appropriate dynamic spine)

You can, and should, select your bow and arrow shafts as much as possible and make sure the listed bow spine and arrow spine are within 2 lbs of each other. If you aren't quite where you want to be, just add weight where you need it: If your calculated dynamic arrow spine is too high, add weight to the tip. If it's too low, add weight to the nock.

To add a little custom weight to the front, either buy insert weights (expensive) or take your insert to the hardware store and buy a long machine screw (costs very little) that fits, cut off the head, then weigh it all together and file off metal from the remaining threaded shaft. To add weight to the back, pretty much do the same thing but stuff the weight or screw into the inside of the nock with some thick construction adhesive, epoxy putty, or a resin of some sort. Let it cure, then get to cutting and filing so that you can get your arrow perfect.

You can also enter specific shaft characteristics for unlisted shafts, but I think you'll find what you need in their list.

One of my boys lost his top front teeth as well. They fell out on their own after a few days of difficulty eating (not sure how he broke them).

It took several weeks before the teeth were grown back in to a usable length. During that time, he was on a diet of omnivore power and herbivore powder. Basically mixed it around 1:1 ratio and added a couple drops of water to make an easy to eat paste. It worked super well; he continued to have tooth issues on and off for the rest of his life, and that mix was often an important part of his diet. The omnivore powder has to be through a vet (they may have it, or can order it for you).

You can try crushing some food as well; my boy was able to eat hard foods as long as they were small enough that he didn't need to use the front teeth to break it into bites! Potentially soaking his regular food in water (or even a low sodium broth) could work, but my boy didn't care for it.

Some meat, egg, bread, noodle, rice, vegetables are alright to help keep interest in food and weight up; fruits are kinda heavy on the sugar and moisture. Baby foods like "Brown rice and Turkey" are okay in moderation too, but probably not a good idea long term.

I highly recommend a scale to keep track of weight. I got this cheap scale. Weight loss is expected (a few grams), but too much more isn't good.

Best of luck.

By your listed measurements, I'm guessing you're using a kitchen scale; they only go to 0.1 g. It's helpful to buy a pocket "gram" scale. They discriminate to 0.01 grams.

There's a guy on youtube that reviewed the Rob Cross darts and weighed them on a kitchen scale. I immediately shut it off. He lost all credibility.

If your capsules say they contain 3 grams already why can't you just open and dump them straight into a teaspoon and into your mouth?

In case I'm totally missing something or if you're just wanting to give T+W a go in general, I highly highly recommend getting one of these pretty cheap scales. I wouldn't eyeball it as if you put too much, there's a big chance you (like me and many others) may get incredibly nauseous if you accidentally take way more than you wanted.

I use the OXO scale. It’s accurate to 1g.


If your SO is getting into baking artisan bread, it would help to have a micro-scale to measure small amounts of ingredients. This one is the one I use but any scale that measures to .01 grams with decent accuracy will work well.

It is nice, only downside is that during pourover sometimes it turns off unless I tap it with my finger every minute. If I had my preference I'd try and find one where I could deactivate or change the "auto off" time. It has a minimum weight of 3g.

If you really needed to be accurate under 4 g you either get a super expensive one or just get a smaller one like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y61YW7S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_H5Z5Cb55WQXW6

The first one assumes a solid block of sucrose at a density of 1.29 g/mL. The second assumes granulated sugar at a density of 0.85 g/mL.

0.85/1.29 = 0.66 = 202/305

Salt does the same thing. It's because of the air space in granulated versus solid materials.

This problem is only going to get worse when you try to use flour since the density changes so much with handling (sifted vs not) and moisture content.

A kitchen scale is under $25 and makes things like this so much simpler. It's not a question of metric vs. Imperial, it's that cooks are still holding on to volume instead of mass.

2 questions.

  • Do you use a food tracking app(Cronometer, Carb Manager, MyFitnessPal, etc.)?
  • Do you use a food scale?

    I can only speak for myself but no drugs. Only supplements are daily Magnesium and Psyllium husk powder for the rare constipation/diarrhea. I've lost weight before I ever did Keto doing traditional macros(and gained it all back plus some) but the discipline aspect is the same. I'll break down my 50+lb weight loss journey, but if you'd like to believe I'm on secret drugs that's cool with me too haha. But I'll add that if you're inclined to believe in conspiracy theories like the keto one you're currently formulating, that it is in fact the most easily falsifiable, IF you properly read and execute the FAQ.

    “My personal experience Importance for losing weight on Keto" rankings/steps. Before even thinking about following these steps I bought a food scale and downloaded the Cronometer app (but it doesn't matter which one just pick one) for discipline purposes(I can't trust "eyeballing" portions).

  • 1a. Stay under 20g net carbs.
  • 1b. Hit or exceed protein macro. Please don't slack on this one. Keep those muscles
  • 1c. Stay under calories limit but don't hate yourself if you go over, or be too restrictive. Even a 1% caloric deficit is progress, fr fr. I did the default 20% but do what works for you, 1, 5, 10, 20, 25, whatever.
  • 1d. Electrolytes. Potassium, Sodium, and Magnesium!!! Keto flu effects can be avoided, or at least minimized. Don't be like me!
  • 5th Fat Macro. Not a goal, so if you go under it's all good. Don't be afraid of butter, just don't guzzle it all day haha. For context, protein and carbs are 4 calories per gram, while fat is 9 calories per gram. That's why for losing weight you end up cutting down on your fat macro, b/c you can't ever mess with the protein and you've already accepted a 20g limit on net carbs, so nothing to cut there calories wise.

    Been obese my whole life and have family thats died from diabetes/hypertension over time. I started keto to reverse those 2 things. If my lazy ass can do it then anybody really can. I'm not saying it's easy but it's possible. Just letting you know Im a real person who cant afford fancy weight loss drugs. Just discipline and accountability.

u/THANAT0PS1S · 2 pointsr/Coffee

I started getting into coffee nearly a year and a half ago, and here is what I did to start:

I bought

  • A Hario V60 02 Pour-Over Dripper ~$20, with filters, ~$30

  • A Hario Buono Gooseneck Kettle ~$50

  • A Bodum Bistro Burr Grinder ~$150

  • A scale ~$25

  • Freshly, locally roasted whole beans ~$10/lb. Dark roasts tend to be less acidic, sweeter, and have less caffeine (when brewed correctly); light roasts are the opposite: acidic, fruity, and more caffeine.

    Now, bear in mind that I knew that I loved coffee before I invested all this money into it; you should obviously really consider your situation and really get into "good" coffee before splurging on all of this equipment. I now have a French press, a moka pot, and am going to invest in an Aeropress soon, but I still prefer the pour-over method to any other coffee that I've had, thus why I recommend you go that route. It can take some definite getting used to and has a bit of a learning curve, but it is easily worth the effort (tutorial videos will help immensely.

    Keep in mind, you needn't buy exactly what I did. Shop around, see what you like and what is in your price range. I will say this, however: if you do go the pour-over method, go for the V60 or the Chemex, they are both easily the best on the market, and the same goes for the Buono kettle, though if necessary you can purchase a different kettle, just so long as it is a gooseneck (which is required to finely control the flow of water).

    Many other people will tell you to go with a French press. This is good advice as it has a very slight learning curve in comparison to pretty much every other method (besides maybe the Aeropress, depending on who you talk to): it is literally grinding the coffee coarsely and letting it sit in water for X-amount of time. It also does not take filters, is easy to clean, and is a relatively cheap initial investment (~$20). I like the Brazil model that Bodum makes.

    No matter which method you choose to brew with, there are three things that you should not underestimate the importance of (and thus should not skimp on):

  • Freshly ground and roasted beans are a must. The fresher, the better.
  • A blade grinder will always do a worse job of grinding than a burr grinder. It is worth it to spend the extra cash for a burr grinder right off the bat, as, if you get at all serious about coffee, you will eventually purchase one anyway, rendering your blade grinder useless and a waste of money in hindsight. Blade grinders make it nigh impossible to control how fine or coarse the grind is, which is one of the biggest variables in coffee brewing. There are absolutely cheaper models out there than the one that I linked to, especially if you get a manual one rather than the electric one that I own.

  • A scale is essential. Coffee brewing is very much an exact science. Making sure the ratio of water to coffee is exact and being able to fine tune down to the gram/milliliter can create some of the biggest deviances between batches next to grind size. This cannot be overstated.

    Best of luck. There's a lot of good knowledge on this sub, on this sub's How to Coffee: A Primer, and on the Internet in general. Check it all out, pick your path, and enjoy the ride!

u/imwearingatowel · 2 pointsr/Cooking

100% agreed, definitely get one with a pull-out display.

I have a basic Starfrit scale, and while it's good enough, everything but the smallest bowls in my kitchen cover the display when I use it.

P.S. The one above is good, but most probably don't need the 11lb version. Save yourself $20 and get the smaller 5lb scale

u/Default87 · 2 pointsr/keto

the tare function is pretty much universal on digital scales, so that one is easy.

the small profile can be cumbersome when weighing things in large bowls, but some scales have a display that you can pull out to better be able to read it in those situations

the accuracy want is where you are going to have the toughest. the more precise the scale is, the lower the maximum weight the scale will support. a scale that is only accurate to the gram will have a higher maximum weight than one that is accurate to the 0.1 gram.

so to address that, I would recommend 2 scales, one for large bulk weighing (like weighing out meats), and one for the finer weighing of things (like weighing out ketoade ingredients). These are the two that I personally use, but I am sure you could find others that have similar properties (and I dont remember paying anywhere near $30 for the Oxo scale, might have better luck in stores rather than online).

Thirded on the American Weigh, I bought that after initially purchasing an OXO Good Grips 5lb scale and have been far more satisfied with the AW SC-2kg. The 0.1g resolution is so* much nicer and I was having issues with the OXO changing its mind about how much things weighed (+/- a couple of grams, it was annoying).

The SC-2kg is surprisingly tiny when you first get it, but it's still large enough for the bin from my Baratza Maestro or my Chemex (8 cup I think?). As adrooo said, the blue LED is quite brilliant and very easy to read.

Buy a scale - use it for most measuring, especially flour.

Buy 2 thermometers - one to leave in the oven and one instant read for testing done-ness.

What is the auto-fill and tamp feature like? Does it weigh out the dose? Does the machine tamp the espresso properly and is the coffee distribution even?

The best way to get consistent results for your setup (since you have a PID and temp surfing is not required) would be to weigh your dose prior to extraction and then to weigh your shot during extraction using a gram scale. This will help you determine the extraction ratio and whether you need to adjust your grind if your shots are sour (under-extracted) or bitter (over-extracted).

It sounds like you're well prepared - you've got set and setting covered. Having a dog there to love up on will be an added bonus. If there's a park nearby or a place to go outside that's close to the house, that would be good too. Being able to get outdoors and connect with nature is always great on mushrooms.

But definitely invest in a scale - especially since this is your first time. Better to know the amount you're taking so that you're not overdoing it or under doing [I think 2g is a good place to start]. Also, you'll know whether to adjust up or down for the next time. You could certainly wing it - but how do you eyeball 2g if you don't know what 2g looks like? Shrooms come in all shapes and sizes - one decent-sized shroom could be 2g. Or, if they're smaller, you might need 3-4. Weigh it out. Safe travels either way. Have fun!

You could try a pocket scale maybe. Most folks are too busy paying rapt attention to themselves to ever notice or care what you're doing.

u/Dacvak · 2 pointsr/Coffee

Hey man, let me hit you with my personal coffee journey. It worked super well for me, and it starts pretty entry-level. I highly recommend.

So, first and foremost, you need to start with pourover. Here's a pretty cheap starter set. Then you'll also need a kitchen scale, here's one of the smallest, most accurate ones I've found.

I'd also recommend getting an automatic burr grinder, which isn't exactly entry level, so it could be a secondary purchase if you find that you really want to get ball-deep into coffee. I started off with the Infinity Grinder, which worked well for me until I got an espresso machine (more on that later). But for pourover and most other methods (aeropress, coffee maker, even shit like siphon coffee, it's perfectly fine). Having an electric grinder is just going to make your life easier overall. But if you don't want to jump right into that, you could use the grinder included in the set I listed (I've never used it - it's probably not great, but I'm sure it'll work).

And that's all you need to make one god damn good cup of coffee. I've spent thousands of dollars on coffee equipment over the years, but for me, the best way to brew a simple cup of coffee is using a pourover method. And it's incredibly fun!

Now, once you've got a few months of pourover under your belt, it may be time to move onto other methods of brewing. Grab yourself an Aeropress. Aeropress effectively is the midpoint between normal coffee and espresso. It absolutely does not make real espresso, regardless of what anyone tells you, but that doesn't mean what it makes isn't super delicious. Plus it lets you start experimenting with the closest thing you'll be able to get to cappuccinos, and other fun things like flavored lattes when you have company over and want to impress them with some tasty java.

The Aeropress is fantastic, and it's ridiculously easy to clean. It's a nice way to be able to travel with a decent coffee maker, too.

Then, once you've got a couple years of delicious coffee down, it's time to get into the big leagues. Espresso.

Holy fuck dude. Espresso is complicated, and you really have to throw away everything you thought you knew about coffee. I know how pretentious that sounds, but it's super true. What I went with was a Crossland CC1, which was mainly because I got it for cheap on Craigslist for $400. But, warning, the Infinity Grinder will not grind accurate enough for espresso. For that you'll need something like a Baratza Hario or Sette 270 (I went with the Sette 270).

Anyway, that's waaaaaaaaay in your future. I'd highly recommend just starting off with pourover and some great beans (check locally, or order from Intelligentsia).

Enjoy your journey, bro. It's a great world out there.

I bought this cheap [scale] (http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Black-Digital-Pocket/dp/B002SVLB8E/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1367459769&amp;amp;sr=1-2&amp;amp;keywords=blade+scale). Works great but you need to buy a 500g weight for calibration so all together it might be ~$20 for the scale and weight.

u/cydonian_knight · 2 pointsr/Fitness

Congrats on the wedding! It really is all about proper diet, you see it being said everywhere, but I had no idea how off my eating was until I started tracking. I was way over on fats and carbs and not even close to hitting 1g per pound of body weight for protein. I used myfitnesspal in the past when I was doing P90X and that's when I had my best results, so I decided to pick up the habit again. Today, I actually hit a 115 day streak on the website. I highly recommend getting a food scale, this is the one I have. And just start measuring and tracking everything. It's easier when you cook and eat at home, just keep it simple to start. Definitely check out r/mealprepsunday if you havent yet, lots of good ideas there!

As for the kale shake, I bet that was insanely thick! Sorry, I didn't mention I had 2 cups of water to that haha! Woops! Try it with the water, that'll make a huge difference, and let me know what you think!

Thanks for the kind words. If you have any more questions I'd be happy to help or at least give you my insight/opinions!

u/Rewind2013 · 2 pointsr/loseit

CICO = You eat less calories than you burn
TDEE = The number of calories you burn on a daily basis always use sedentary
MFP = Myfitnesspal, a website where you can track your calories

You do this by calculating your TDEE at sedentary. Subtracting 500 to 1000 calories and making that your goal for each day (With a minimum of 1200 for most women unless very short/small and 1500 for men). Log them daily on MFP. Rinse and repeat. Over time you will start to lose weight. It takes time and a reasonable amount of weight loss for most people is an average 0.5 to 2 pounds per week (depending on how tall you are/how much you weigh/your gender) - Some weeks you will not lose or will gain, this is normal. The average or trend over time is what matters, not a single day or week. Buy a cheap food scale on Amazon so that you can be certain that you're actually eating the serving size. Measuring cups are inaccurate - for proof just search measuring cups vs weighing food on YouTube.

u/gooberfaced · 2 pointsr/loseit

Of course you can do it- many of us have and you can do.
The only advice I can offer you is to simply decide that nothing and no one is going to derail your intentions.
You need to assign this the highest priority in your life and don't allow any sort of excuse or rationalization to creep in.
Being in college during this process is both a blessing and a curse- the stresses are going to appear, but you'll likely be so busy you can't focus on being deprived, either.
You'll be going out with friends and will be tempted along the way, but plan for such evenings and have a strategy in place before you go. Eat first and then wander around with a glass of water with a lemon in it.
Keep grab and eat snacks handy in your room. Don't allow hunger to creep up on you without having something easily at hand to satisfy it.

Come here often when you need a mental recharge- read, search, browse around and find what works for others.
Read every link the auot-bot gives you- it is all in there.

There are many ways to track food intake but I encourage you to find one and use it- eyeballing portion sizes is not a viable way to go about it. A cheap yet very reliable and easy to use food scale is available on Amazon for under $15 and is the single most valuable tool you can own for weight loss. I have one in each food prep area in my house and couldn't do without it even as I am in maintenance mode.

Good luck.
DECIDE to do this and let nothing or no one stand in your way.

Started at roughly the same point as you, I'll second the comment about people noticing once 30-40 pounds are lost although people may have noticed earlier but may not say anything due to not knowing if you're ill or actually taking initiative.

It wasn't until sixty to seventy pounds down that I went down a shirt size but I went from a size 40 waist to size 35 within thirty to fifty pounds, lost half a size to full shoe size but didn't notice when.

If you haven't already my only regret is not taking a starter photo and not exercising as often with all the excess energy. Check out /r/bodyweightfitness (I like the recommended routine in the wiki).

Check out /r/intermittentfasting just to digest some more information as many have ended up doing both together with good results. (including discipline and whatnot)

Check out /r/ketorecipes if you need some inspiration or would like to change things up a bit.

Check out /r/ketogains or /r/bodyweightfitness once you become fat adapted and are able to use your energy productively.

Check out /r/ketodrunk if you'd like to find ways you can keep alcohol in your life.

Check out this graphic from Ruled.Me and depending on what you're craving supplement with that.

Things you might want to invest in (assuming you don't already have something comparable):

Try one of these measuring cups with sweet plunger action.

u/LongUsername · 2 pointsr/Cooking
  • 10" cast iron skillet.
  • 6qt pot for making pasta &amp; larger batches of chili and soup.
  • 2qt saucepan for making sauces/reheating soup/Mac &amp; Cheese.
  • Fibrox Chef's Knife
  • Paring Knife.
  • Cutting board. You're going to have to hand wash it, so wood is fine.
  • Measuring spoons, maybe 2 adjustable ones if I was trying to go completely minimalist, but probably just a good set of stainless steel ones.
  • 2c liquid measuring cup (glass so it's microwaveable).
  • 2c adjustable Plunger measuring cup.
  • Rubber spatula
  • Turning spatula
  • Set of long cooking chopsticks for flipping/stiring stuff.
  • 9x9 or 9x13 pyrex pan.
  • Jelly roll pan (more flexible than a flat cookie sheet)
  • 2 Stainless Steel Mixing bowls.

    The big thing while cooking with smaller amounts of cookwear is to keep soapy water in the sink and wash stuff right away so it's ready to go when you need it. You don't need multiple knives: just wash it quick, wipe it dry, and use it. Same with measuring stuff (just be smart about measuring dry before wet as well)

    I'm also assuming that you have Plates/flatware/bowls/etc. Make sure to have enough bowls (I like Corelle ware for cheap and durable) to do your mise en place to quickly reuse the limited measuring cups.
u/reductase · 2 pointsr/ResearchMarkets

Milligram scale all the way. They're not expensive to acquire and help immensely with harm reduction. Even if you want to do volumetric dosing, you're still going to need a scale for your substance AND graduated cylinder for your solvent to calculate an accurate concentration.

Do not mix powders together for dosing (e.g. NBOMe w/ dextrose, etc) because mixing powders evenly is very, very difficult to do and not even perfected by science yet.

Edit: something like this is perfect. Just remember to preload the scale into the 5-10g range and tare it for maximum accuracy. These rinky-dink milligram scales are not that sensitive at their minimum or maximum ranges, so throw a couple quarters down and put your weighing platter on top to get it into the middle of its linearity range.

u/Iracus · 2 pointsr/cocktails

Unless you are looking to look fancy don't waste your money. Just go to amazon/walmart and find a shaker tin, all-in-one "jigger", and a pint glass from your local cabinet. That is really all you need to get started.

If you want to add on some stuff just to make life easier you can get a bar spoon, muddler, strainer, fine strainer (get rid of those ugly ice bits), and a citrus juicer.

Save your money for alcohol to make more drinks!

u/MsMargo · 2 pointsr/cocktails

Just a note, a Lemon Martini is usually not made with vermouth, and white (dry) vermouth isn't sweet. : )

But as someone who has been bitten by the cocktail bug in the last few years, here's my humble advice. Pick one or two drinks you want to learn to make. Don't go crazy buying a huge number of liqours to start. Buy good quality ingredients for your two, and start making and tweeking them. This time a little too much lime juice, next time a little too little, until you dial in what it is you like. Things like fresh lemon juice, versus the stuff in a plastic yellow lemon bottle really make a difference. You don't have to go top shelf on liqour, but stay out of the low-end stuff. And it really is important to actually measure every single ingredient. This is the best cocktail making purchase I've made!

The glassware doesn't have to be perfect - yes, you can make it in a coffee cup - but it is kinda' nice. Don't spend money on fancy glassware to start. Hit your local thrift store and pick up some cheap, but correct-for-the-drink glasses, and you'll appreciate it. Plus you'll feel classy!

Garnishes are actually not as easy as they sometimes look, so learning to make garnishes is a skill. Sometimes, as /u/stormstatic said, they are part of the actual flavor of the drink, sometimes they just make it pretty. To start, focus on mixing the drink, later add the garnishes. Heck, what's a tiki drink without all the stuff and paper umbrellas sticking out? : ) Goal!

u/seashoreandhorizon · 2 pointsr/Sourdough

I have this one and like it quite a bit:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VEKX35Y/

Couple things to bear in mind:

  • It's somewhat big and bulky, so if you have limited counter space it might not be the best.
  • It runs off an AC adapter. No dealing with batteries (which is nice), but it does need a spot to plug in (which is annoying).
  • It doesn't have fine enough resolution to measure yeast in most bread recipes, but most (all?) comparable scales in this price range don't either.

    Otherwise, I used to have this one which has fewer features, but can't be beat for the price imo:

Lots of exotic flours I have only been able to find in grain form, so this would be useful for that. I've also heard that freshly ground flour is supposed to taste amazing, but I can't personally vouch for that.

What does your mom have now? If she doesn't have an electronic scale definitely get one of those.[This one is good.] (https://www.amazon.com/Kitchen-Scale-Bakers-KD8000-Weight/dp/B00VEKX35Y) I don't know what kind of bread she is baking, but a banneton would be nice if she doesn't have one, they are good for the 'rustic' breads you see here. A good electric thermometer is another one, I like this one. If she isn't baking in a loaf pan or dutch oven, a baking steel or baking stone are useful.

Okay, here we go...

Mandatory items:

  • Food processor or stand mixer

  • Baking scale that measures in grams and ounces

  • Baking stone ^1

  • Wood pizza peel ^2

  • Aluminum pizza peel

    Notes:

    ^1 Most people will swear by a baking steel instead of a ceramic stone. If your budget allows it, a 1/4" thick steel is much better than a stone.

    ^2 I linked to a fancy one, but it really makes dismounting your raw pizza onto your hot stone/steel an easy task. There are cheaper wood peels that don't have the canvas conveyor.

    Recipes:

    For the dough, my favorite is Kenji's. I follow it to the T, weighing out each item in grams, and it's perfect. Honestly, I've only tried two other dough recipes, and the differences between all of them are minor, but Kenji's is the lightest and crispiest, but not too crispy.

    For the sauce, I've only tried a couple, but I love u/dopnyc's sauce. I tweak it a little. I use canned whole san marzanos, but only the tomatoes, I omit the juice they're in and the water in the recipe. I blend the whole tomatoes and then add all of the other ingredients. This makes enough for about four 12" pizzas. It will freeze well.

    For the cheese, the most important thing is you need whole milk, low-moisture mozz. Avoid pre-shredded anything, the added cellulose prevents proper melting. Avoid skim/part skim, and avoid fresh mozz (the stuff in water). It's kind of hard to find, but at my local grocery store, Kraft sells string cheese called Creamy that works great. It's delicious. However, it doesn't shred well, so I have to freeze it for about 15 min before grating. Now, I'm not saying that string cheese is the best option, it's just my only option at my local store. There are better options sold in a brick. Again, whole milk, low-moisture is the key.

    Toppings:

    Try to find a log of pepperoni and slice them off yourself. This will usually yield the coveted pepperoni cups once baked, each with their own personal portion of delicious pepperoni grease.

    I like Kenji's itallian pizza sausage recipe. It's very flavorful. You can make this with a food processor instead of a meat grinder/stand mixer.

    I gotta go for now, but let me know if you're still interested, I can write up some more on technique for dough balling and stretching and baking.
u/shoeboogirl · 2 pointsr/Tianeptine

One of the best scales you can get out there right now is the Smart Weigh product code GEM50 scale (NOT the Gemini 20!) found on Amazon:


https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Weigh-Precision-Milligram-Calibration/dp/B011J88S8M

In almost all areas, it is superior to the Gemini 20, including stability of measurement, repeatability at very low masses, and a Tare button that doesn't drift too much. There were some discussion about this on the sub a few months ago, and everyone who switched from Gemini 20 to the GEM50 thought it was well worth it!


EDIT: Ouch! Touchy, touchy on the karma button, someone is. I happened to peek in today and see this question, so logged in under the last account I remembered. Yeah, the wig makes me itch, too. But if you are going to use karma properly, use it for good and bad information, not based on a popularity contest of who is posting it. If you doubt my opinion of the GEM50 scale, ask /u/TableforSeven2. Despite our kerfuffle a few weeks ago, I do believe she will be honest when saying I directed her to that scale after the GEM20 was very unreliable in precision situations. And she found it to be a better scale in every aspect. The fact that this is coming from me may not make some of you very happy, but it doesn't change the truth of the statement, and the specifications of the two scales.

This sub really is useful to many new users stopping in with questions about dosing, tapering, and apparently shoving things up their ass. But when advice, and particularly bad advice, is voted up simply because of who is saying it, in the long run it destroys the credibility of the forum. And when you downvote because of who is saying something, you are engaging in a form of bullying behavior, that I would think has little utility for even a real life bully. By that, I mean a real life bully gains esteem from the action that is absent when the voting system is anonymous. Even if you don't respect me, please respect the karma system, and don't give ups or downs for frivolous reasons.

Before I got a goose-neck kettle I used a glass measuring cup with a pour spout (e.g. this one) I don't know how much improvement you would get over straight from the kettle, but it's worth a shot. Heat loss can be combated by using boiling water to begin with or by pre-warming the vessel.

I've never used a gravy separator, but I've used a glass measuring cup for coffee many different times in a microwave. The gravy separator is a great idea! I would recommend go with the simex as it's borosilicate glass.

In regards to boiling water in a microwave, I would suggest putting a chopstick in the cup for safety as it's heating. The chopstick will break the water's film, allowing it to "roll", and prevent it from being super-heated and exploding.

You look wonderful today, did you do something new to your hair?

You should get this can opener is made of good thick steel, it's heavy in the hand and I have never had a problem opening a can with one. Bonus, it has a bottle opener on it.

And this is an excellent liquid measuring cup.

You may also want some of the following:

Hand soap for the kitchen and bathroom sinks, hand towels.
You need basic first aid stuff, like adhesive bandages (band-aids) and rubbing alcohol, good tweezers. Include basic pain meds, stuff for an upset stomach, allergy meds, or any prescription medications you need.

Sponges and scrub brushes. If you want to use a swifter type thing, I'd like to recommend this I have used it to clean offices and it works. The handle is pretty heavy duty and you can make or buy extra cleaning cloths, then you just put them in the washer.

Oh a colander, I will admit I picked that one because it's cute.

I love my rice cooker I use it to steam vegetables or cook rice at least once a week. I have the larger version but that one would probably work, or the larger one.

I could use one of the following: Notebook or Scissors or a Book.

Just to add to warwatch who had most of what was on my list:

  • bathroom floor mats
  • measuring cup (this kind and this kind; Pyrex is good for the former but any old set will do for the latter)
  • dish brush (like here, way better than a sponge)
  • whisk
  • tongs
  • tupperware containers
  • grater
  • coasters
  • ramekins
  • meat thermometer (I got this one about 4 months ago and it's been pretty good; no more "is this what cooked pork/chicken/meat looks like?")
  • silicone spatula
  • pot holders, oven mitts
  • Various sizes of wall hooks. Useful for hanging things on the wall that would otherwise be leaning or on top of something (broom, mop, linter, hair dryer, depending on your cabinets you can even hang pot lids on the walls of the cabinets)
  • paper towel holder
  • shower/bath organizer - depending on how you are set up, you can use a shower caddy to hold most of your things; my showerhead and the pipe leading to it from the wall is angled in a way so that isn't possible but I've had this for about 1.5 years and it has been great.
  • if you have a cabinet in the bathroom, something like these small drawers may be useful for organization.

    Some of this depends on how much cooking you are planning to do, but it's all pretty essential in my experience.

It's held up great, no fuss, and the batteries last a really long time. I do think I paid a lot less than the $30 it is currently listed for on Amazon though.

Don't know anything about a Bullet Journal. A lot of people here use MyFitnessPal - personally, I prefer SparkPeople (lets you set a calorie range rather than a single daily target, easy to save favorite foods and groups of foods, easy to enter your own recipes, syncs with Fitbit, but has some social media and advertising aspects integrated with it that can be off-putting).

My boyfriend is on his own for food making choices, so I'm no help to you there! lol

And as for food containers, I prefer glass to plastic for its ability to be microwaved without staining or leaching. Wide mouth 2 cup mason jars work really well for soups/stews/chili, and since they are designed to be airtight they don't leak at all. And they are cheap! You do have to remove the lid to microwave, though.

For larger meals (salads, meat and veggie leftovers, etc) Pyrex and Rubbermaid sell glass containers with plastic lids in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. They're a bit more expensive than the canning jars but glass holds up well so it's worth the investment, IMHO.

Good luck!

I like the Escali Primo that I picked up for a hair over $20 from Amazon. It does everything I need it to do and is really easy to use. (I got the cute red version.)

(On the other hand, I had zero difficulty in Googling food scale and finding tons of options, so if you're asking for advice on fittit, maybe you have particular requirements?)

[Escali digital Scale] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007GAWRS/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_fqA8wbXAH9S62) is the one we use at home and my mom used these when she was in culinary school.

u/peachstones · 1 pointr/xxketo

I like this one pretty well, it comes in a ton of colors if that's important to you. The button to switch measurements is on the display which is nice - my first cheap scale I liked better, it was flat and glass, but I had to flip it over to switch from lb/oz to g.

u/kittycatblues · 1 pointr/Myfitnesspal

This is the scale I have: https://www.amazon.com/Escali-P115C-Precision-Lightweight-Lifetime/dp/B0007GAWRS. It's a little more money than some others ($25) but I've had it for years and never once had an issue with it. I use it multiple times a day. I think I've only replaced the batteries once too.

u/SilverJingle · 1 pointr/Silverbugs

I like the Escali P115C kitchen scale. It has a 5kg capacity and a resolution of 1 gram.

u/iloqin · 1 pointr/ketogains

Get a scale, like I did, such as these:

u/andrewesque · 1 pointr/Cooking

For liquids (which 'Europeans' do measure by volume as Americans do, but using metric instead of US customary units of course) Pyrex measuring cups/measuring jugs sold in Britain have metric measurements on both sides, unlike US measuring cups which only have metric measurements on one side, typically facing you if you are left-handed. They also have British imperial measurements (i.e. where 1 pint = 20 fl oz) but I totally ignore these since I basically never need to use them.

As for dry ingredients, they are specified by weight in European recipes (once you get above several spoonfuls) so you're best off just getting a scale; there is no real equivalent of American dry measuring cups made in metric quantities. I'm a fan of the Oxo pull-out scale, which will convert seamlessly between US customary (pounds and ounces) and metric (grams).

As for measuring spoons, tablespoons and teaspoons are for the most part almost identical worldwide, except for in Australia, as far as I know. 1 Tbsp = 15 ml = 3 tsp, so 1 tsp = 5 ml.

(A US tablespoon is technically 1/2 fluid ounce or 14.8 ml, but the difference between 14.8 ml and 15 ml is so small this is unlikely to make any difference whatsoever. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml or 4 teaspoons.)

u/MisterIT · 1 pointr/Cooking

u/curiouscarrot · 1 pointr/keto

I prefer this one because it has a pull out display so using large bowls or baking sheets I can still read the display: http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-5-Pound-Pull-Out-Display/dp/B0020L6T7K/

u/fatkatnomore · 1 pointr/loseit

u/Rebeleleven · 1 pointr/loseit

You just need a scale with a pullout display.

I use OXO's 5 pound kitchen scale. Meets all the criteria you listed. OXO makes a more expensive 11 pound scale if you make large dishes or intend on weighing heavy pots.

I stand corrected. Here's the 5 lb. model.

https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-5-Pound-Pull-Out-Display/dp/B0020L6T7K?th=1

I can't speak for anyone else, but I used to have a 5 lb. scale and I maxed it out all the time. Although I tend to make pretty large recipes :)

u/dsatrbs · 1 pointr/Fitness

Not sure if the scale you referred to before was for yourself or for your food... anyway, get a food scale. Something digital, in the $20-40 range, with 4 stars or better from Amazon. This way you know exactly your portion amounts.

u/vatothe0 · 1 pointr/keto
u/thunderbrother · 1 pointr/Fitness

They're pretty much all the same but I would choose according to your lifestyle. I would carry my Oxo foodscale food scale with me everywhere; restaurants, traveling, whatever.

If you plan on doing that, I recommend buying one that is rather rugged and small. I like the Oxo one because the display face pulls out (attached via cable) so it isn't covered up by large dishes as well as the ability to remove the top cover for dishwashing.

u/keninhen · 1 pointr/Baking

I like the Oxo Good Grips scales as they have a pull out display which is great if you're weighing your dry ingredients in a large bowl. They come in 5, 11 and 22 pound capacities. I'm doing this from my phone so not sure if this link to Amazon will work: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0020L6T7K/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1413597696&amp;amp;sr=8-2

Hi, first time poster here. I'm about to pull the trigger on my first turntable setup, but I feel I need to check in with the helpful people on this sub with the equipment I'm thinking of buying and whether or not its all compatible. Other things like isolation pads for the speakers, better record sleeves, a cork matt, a record brush, gram scale, and a cleaning kit are accounted for. Are any of those things unnecessary?

The following is strictly the hardware. I've been torn between two different set-ups however.

SET-UP 1: Audio Technica AT-LP120 ($299) &amp; the Micca PB42X Powered Bookshelf Speakers ($120). TOTAL: About $419

SET-UP 2: Audio Technica AT-LP120 ($299), Micca MB42 Passive Speakers ($60), and the Yamaha R-S201BL 2-Channel Stereo Receiver ($130) TOTAL: About $489

I'm also unsure about adding a subwoofer for I don't know if one is essential or just a nice thing to include for the complete package. My eye is on this one: Pioneer SW-8MK2 100-Watt Powered Subwoofer ($160)

Any and all advice is much appreciated.

u/KitchenHack · 1 pointr/Cooking

You know, I thought it did, but I checked and it doesn't. It only has fractional amounts in the pounds setting. Sorry about that. For small amounts, I use this scale: https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Scale-Ac-650-Digital/dp/B0026KXU7W/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=ac+650+digital+scale&amp;amp;qid=1566155340&amp;amp;s=home-garden&amp;amp;sr=1-3. It's cheap and it lasts about a year with daily use. I keep a few of them in the drawer for when it dies. If you're measuring small amounts (like teaspoons of salt for example), you'll be a lot more accurate if the scale goes to 2 decimal places.

u/cablecore · 1 pointr/espresso

complete agree. i use this one, i like the form factor better than the one you posted just because the display is always visible.

don't need a fancy scale, although having a timer built in would be nice...

u/beezers · 1 pointr/Fitness

Like the others have suggested you can find the nutritional facts online. You can then use a food scale to measure your food. I was faced with the same problem and just yesterday I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0026KXU7W/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_LfKlub138FS6F

The good news is that this scale weighs up to ~1.5 pounds and is nearly identical to the iPhone 5 in size. And while the weighing platform is only 2.2x2.8 inches, most (if not all) plates can fit within this area.

Sorry if the formatting is off. I'm typing this off my phone.

u/bquad · 1 pointr/PlantedTank

You should be fine getting this scale. You shouldn't need to calibrate it. I didn't need to calibrate mine and it was right on from day 1. Just check to make sure its weighing roughly the correct amount. A nickel is 5 grams.

u/KristinOhh · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This scale will help me start making lipsticks because I'll be able to measure the ingredients properly. I don't celebrate holidays though. So it's just Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy.

u/KittyBizkit · 1 pointr/diabetes

Early on, we carried a small scale about the size of a deck of cards (only $10):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026KXU7W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

That scale made it possible to weigh food items when we were outside of the house.

We don't carry it much anymore though because we are getting really good at estimating things. We are 2.5 years in and we have made it a point to eat as normally as possible. After estimating carb counts for common items often enough, we are rarely off by much. And if we are, we can look at the curve on the CGM and can adjust as necessary.

u/Krrkdm · 1 pointr/Coffee

Yeah, get a scale. I recommend this one if you're budget-conscious. I'm afraid to ask what kind of grinder you're using. A quality burr grinder will get you the best results.

The James Hoffman method that is popular in this sub is good, but for beginners, just keep it simple: 16 grams of course ground coffee to 300 grams of water (around 200F or just off the boil). Let it brew for 4 minutes. Press and serve.

You can improve from there if you want my experimenting with different ratios, blooming, Hoffman method, grind size, etc.

u/secondknuckle · 1 pointr/kratom

There is no exact conversion because you are trying to go from volume to weight. That said, one level, unpacked tsp is approx 2.5g.

Here is approx conversion cc to tsp

1 cc ~0.20 tsp
1tsp (level, unpacked) ~2.5g
0.20 x 2.5=0.5g

Like I said, that's for level, unpacked tsp. If you're packing it in, then it's more (obviously).

tl;dr: No way to know for sure. Best to get a scale.

Here are three good inexpensive ones.

I've been happy with this guy (and I see I'm the 3rd person to post it): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012LOQUQ/

I've seen a lot of other people post pics with this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SVLB8E/

Just watch the specs when you order, those above measure max 100 grams, and are precise to 0.01g. There are models that look identical but have different specs. This one looks like #1 above but does 1000 grams x 0.1g, so less precision, but can weigh more at once.

u/BD420SM · 1 pointr/saplings

Looks good to me. Invest in a scale. This is the one I use

u/Zack1018 · 1 pointr/Fitness

Yeah, definitely enough for daily use but like I said I would need more weight than that for bulk cooking at home (meat, fish, ect.)

There is another scale on Amazon that is 4"x4" with a 1kg limit here


Another thing to consider is that I couldn't fit a plate or large bowl on such a small scale without it covering the display, so something with a retractable or flip-out display like the 1kg scale I linked would be a good idea. I hadn't thought of that before.

u/Tacos_Forever · 1 pointr/Homebrewing

I don't put a ton of weight on a special setup instead favoring starters as a better way of yeast health. A paint mixer or egg beaters would work too.

u/psno1994 · 1 pointr/Salvia

Yeah, I'd recommend this scale here, it's really cheap and super accurate for weighing out anything less than 20g. I also use it to weigh out my bud pickups and make sure I didn't get ripped off. Just use an index card as weigh paper and you're set.

Edit- also, a large part of what makes the salvia trip "good" or "bad" for me is set/setting. I turn the lighting low, turn on some quiet, peaceful music, and block the door and windows in my room so I can't leave while I'm tripping. I also trip alone, because I find doing it with other people around usually makes it bad.

Edit 2- also, it would be super weird if I were tripping without a shirt around other people. Another reason to barricade yourself in and take a short visit down the rabbit hole alone.

u/ts_asum · 1 pointr/rawdenim

Alright, that we can work with, 20$ budget and no existing bar:

-only two tools are remotely important: shaker and jigger. The rest is pretty much irrelevant, and can be easily replaced with things you have at home. Even the jigger is fairly irrelevant, because it only needs to be precise to itself. Doesent matter if the 3cl mark is actually 3.2
So I'd recommend you take the 20$ and buy a decent shaker, and maybe a small one-sided jigger.


you don't really need a Hawthorne strainer and weird spoon an all that, to be honest i usually can't be bothered to use them when im making cocktails for myself and are not in a hurry. Those tools are made to speed things up at a bar, but aren't a necessity.


i recommend spending the money on ingredients rather than additional tools for now, if you find out you really like that particular kind of cocktail then you should develop the bar in that direction.

It's hard to get used to at first. I still don't trust myself to tare and add another ingredient to the scale so I mis en place everything in separate dishes like on cooking shows (which is a good idea anyhow).

What I've done is look at conversion charts and start by using imperial measurements as a scoop. So 250g is basically a heaping cup, etc. Now the metric is associated with a measurement I already can picture so it's quicker to get to the right amount by weighing.

It will also help if you get a scale that has a fairly large base. Ours came with a bowl and I really like it for medium amounts but it will also lift off and then you can tare out little ramekins or a large bowl on the remaining flat surface. We just got this one https://smile.amazon.com/Etekcity-Multifunction-Removable-Temperature-Backlight/dp/B00UIVIXVO/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1543168802&amp;amp;sr=8-7&amp;amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;amp;keywords=food+scales+digital+weight+grams+and+oz&amp;amp;dpPl=1&amp;amp;dpID=41i6dN%2BTssL&amp;amp;ref=plSrch and so far it's worked great, especially considering the affordable price.

u/projectedwinner · 1 pointr/loseit

Food scale. My husband, who lost 80 lbs. a few years ago, swears by the food scale. When he moved in with me, we didn't have room in the kitchen for a food scale, so he got rid of it. Well, now we live in a place with tons of counter space, so he asked for a food scale for Christmas so he could break down the proteins we buy at Costco into equal parcels. I got him [this one]
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UIVIXVO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;psc=1).

It is GREAT! I weigh pretty much anything that doesn't have a scannable bar code (man, I love the bar code feature of LoseIt) or doesn't break serving sizes into discrete pieces. For instance, we had steaks last night, and I knew exactly how many ounces mine was. When I slice cheese off a block, I weigh it in ounces (or grams, if I'm feeling fancy). I've used the food scale long enough now that I can kind of eyeball certain common foods and know about how much equals an ounce, but unless I'm in a huge hurry, I usually still weigh it because I'm neurotic enough to want precision as much as possible.

When I'm eating out, I either try to eat at places that have nutritional info on their websites so I can have a fairly accurate measure of calories, or I eyeball it. Eyeballing it is easier now that I have a decent picture of what 2 oz. of cheese looks like or how big a 4 oz. portion of chicken is, thanks to the food scale.

It also gets easier once you've established some routine foods. I know that the egg I have for breakfast is going to be about 100 calories because I eat eggs a lot. I know that tuna salad for lunch (1/2 can water-packed tuna, 1 T olive oil mayo, 5 slices of spicy/sweet pickles - it's the same every time) is going to be 208 calories because I have that several times a week. The more standard a food is in your diet, and the better you're able to visualize how much food equals x number of ounces, the easier it is.

u/felinebeeline · 1 pointr/diabetes_t1

You're very welcome.

I'll throw in something I made last night - a giant pot of soup. I was short on parsley so you might want to increase that if you make it. This is what I put in it, not including water. That'll give you four huge bowls that are mostly food, not broth. (Noodles are added at the very end. If you want more carbs in there, feel free to replace with spaghetti. It'll have more calories but still be low-cal.) Here's the basic nutrition info. One bowl (a quarter of that recipe) is 152 calories and gave me 40% of my daily nutrients! If you don't have a food scale, I highly recommend one. I have this one. You can plug recipes into cronometer. I just jot down my ingredients and their weight in grams when I'm prepping and I plug them in while the food is cooking.

Also, if you end up cutting carbs out (edit: what I mean is reducing carbs) with the calorie reduction, you can just reduce your bolus doses. This goes much more smoothly with a CGM and if you account for some wiggle room for when you need to bring up lows.

It doesn't have much asthetic but https://www.amazon.com/Kitchen-Scale-Bakers-KD8000-Weight/dp/B00VEKX35Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1523368659&amp;amp;sr=8-3&amp;amp;keywords=baker+scale this baker scale is awesome for general kitchen duty and coffee making. Scale plate is plastic and easily removable so wont absorb heat as quickly and easy to clean. I have not figured out how to turn off the time out but its like 5 minutes so I dont have an issue while pouring.

In regard to your pourover, you are going to have to dial in via taste instead of time. Pourovers IMO don't scale well to that big of a batch.

u/BrewingHeavyWeather · 1 pointr/fermentation

I have the KD-8000, but others should do.

IMO, the feature you need to look for (which sadly didn't exist on my particular HF scale, though it does for some) is the ability to turn off auto-power-down. Two or three minutes seems like a lot (on some it's only one minute, and they'll tout it as a feature), but it often isn't long enough, and then you lose your tare. I got the scale I got because I knew for certain I could turn that off. So far, I'm one and a half years into the first charge on the batteries, even leaving it on accidentally for a day or two at a stretch.

Kitchen Scale - Bakers Math Kitchen Scale - KD8000 Scale by My Weight, Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VEKX35Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NqHWBbPV4KD5V

I bought this one for several reasons. One is it runs off regular batteries, not a weird round one. Two, you can also purchase an AC adapter (I haven't, see point 1 lol) Third and favorite reason is you can adjust the auto shut off time. Great when you are making a recipe and measuring and stuff. My old scale was constantly shutting off before I could record the weight of something. This stays on for several minutes and is adjustable. I believe it also can measure in pretty small weights and has a protectable cover for the buttons if you do messy baking.

I use this which does a pretty decent job, decent capacity, and large enough that you can actually see the screen when you throw a bowl on top to weigh out grains.

I have a smaller one for hops, but this could work too but it is only accurate to 1g.

u/Quesa-dilla · 1 pointr/MealPrepSunday

Start simple.

For instance, today I started with grilled chicken breast, which was marinated in BBQ Sauce, steamed green beans and roasted sweet potatoes.

I just used a Jack Daniel's brand BBQ Sauce and grilled the breasts on a Foreman Grill, then added 1 serving of the BBQ sauce in a ramekin. Steamed a load of green beans for about 15-17 minutes and then seasoned with SnP. Diced, roasted garnet sweet potatoes marinated in olive oil, SnP and a healthy portion of chili powder.

Calculate how much of each you want in a meal, then purchase what you need. Buy a bit more than what you calculate as chicken will lose weight while cooking and you may trim. You may trim or peel the sweet potato. I buy prepped green beans to make it a bit easier.

I would ask your trainer for a calorie target, or speak to a nutritionist to get one which will cater to your current status and where you want to be. If you're going hard core, then I definitely would seek advice from a nutritionist as you'll be in a caloric deficit in order to lose the weight.

Measuring is simple, go to Amazon and get a digital scale. I personally bought and love this scale. You'll also want a digital body scale, to track your progress. Get an app that will help you track everything, The MyFitnessPal app is probably the #1 app for this. You can add recipes to get nutritional values, track what foods you are eating, and you can track the exercises to monitor progression.

u/ZizzardOfWoz · 1 pointr/DrugsOver30

Tried the ~5 mg experiment last night. Very glad we did. Wife reacted way more intensely than I did and had some negative thought loops that we didn't expect. Here's how it all went down (we might have made some mistakes here so listing for feedback/constructive criticism):

  1. Measured out 0.005 g for both of us. Scale struggled with accuracy at this low weight. One moment it would show 0.000 and the next 0.007...here's the exact scale we use (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011J88S8M). Anyone have thoughts and tips on handling margin of error for milligram scales? I've read it can be +/- 4mg which, for 2C-B is significant. I'd happily pay more for a super accurate scale for example
  2. Orally ingested mixed in with a tiny anount of OJ in a glass (why not?) - I went first, added a little more OJ to get the remnants then (and here is where we might have made a mistake) wife uses the same glass for her dose. Perhaps some of the material might have been left in the glass?
  3. Come up was not much to speak of nor did we expect anything at this low dose. Still, got some energy feels and both of us enjoyed doing yoga. Music started to get nice.
  4. Then things went south...wife started to get some interesting CEV's feeling like the floor opened up underneath her, maybe some tracers, etc....meanwhile, I'm mildly feeling mostly nothing. She then got into some hard personal stuff that can come up while on MDMA, but without the empathy of that substance, it just became hard shit that was now in the space and for the rest of the evening we couldn't get out of it. No euphoria, just kind of a bummer.

    Big question to the group: does 2C-B have a threshold dose (like MDMA) where you are for sure going to get the full impact? Wondering if a small dose, while good to get a feel for the molecule, might not get you all the way there. Wife is now not sure she wants to do it again so trying to gather some info. Still, really thankful for u/DrugsAreMagic for this reply as we would not have wanted this experience at the tail end of our roll. I now fully understand why the "rule" is the rule. Thanks all!
u/NowhereDefined · 1 pointr/researchchemicals

One thing you can do is never measure anything below 50mg, use a tray or measuring paper and instead of tarring just write down the weight, then add what you need. For example if your tray is 75mg and you want to measure our 30mg then you add to a total of 105mg.

I've got this one which has a varience of about 2mg. It costs a little more than a gemini20 but I recommend it to all my friends.

After doing a lot of research but not quite willing to shell out $150 I finally decided on the Gem-50, and so far this one at it has worked great for me:
Smart Weigh High Precision Digital Milligram Scale Gem-50
especially if you use the method ATalkingOcelot mentions in this thread. For example weigh an empty Type 0 gelatin capsule (usually 100mg), put your stuff is in there, weigh again, subtract 100mg. Is a lot more accurate than putting the empty gelatin capsule on there and hitting tare.

Damn. My friend just bought 200 labels, that will probably will never get used, but it was only 8.99 with amazon prime free shipping. Also got this scale only $10.

And ordered some bubble mailers as well off amazon. I love their prime 2 day shipping.

I don't think this will really pan out. My friend is selling this stuff at basically a loss, just to build his seller rep and thinks he will expand. But I think the mkt. for vape stuff is just way to saturated/competitive.

Damn Since '99, can I ask what are some of the things you sell? (If you dont mind answering, if not its cool).

I'm trying to convince him to find something else to sell that might do better.

I just printed out my first label through ebay on regular paper, I can't believe I wasted time at the post office yesterday and paid extra for priority when I could have done it this easily.

So it just needs to be taped to the bubble mailer and its good to go? There was an instruction saying not to tape over the barcode? Any particular way I should tape it?

I bought a https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B013WU0CZW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;psc=1 . It's accurate and repeatable. Though I noticed 2-3g deviation on a point load (1kg) when moved from centre. I can't testify to its usefulness in a kitchen. I use it for weighing refillable cylinders so I'm typically looking at 1lb - 3lb and only care about a 10g accuracy.

A quick test: 1 us quarter weighs at 6g, 2 us quarters weight at 12g and is repeatable.

I've been doing this for 4-5 days and I've already seen numbers on the scale that I haven't seen in awhile. It's a lot better to measure by gram than by volume. A cup of rice won't be the same as another cup of rice. It depends on how you pack it in, if it's wet or not, etc.

u/team_pancakes · 1 pointr/kratom

Most scales will measure in grams or ounces, you just push a button to switch between the modes.

A gram scale would be fine, as long as it's OK if it's off by a gram or two. Like "100g" might be close to 99g or 101g, since it isn't showing you if it's "101.4g" or "99.5g". And most gram scales will measure over 1000g. I have this one and it's great, it's one of the top sellers on amazon. I use it to measure food/ingredients and kratom.

But you can also get scales that measure .01g that can measure over 100g. Like this one.

u/cokespraythrowaway · 1 pointr/cocaine

edit

Please be fucking careful. Don't be stupid. Take the time to accurately prepare your solution and to diligently track your usage. Don't use too much, be careful what you combine this with, and don't get careless. There are few drugs more susceptible to overuse than cocaine. I can personally say that switching to this method made me eventually get tired of coke, because once you can do it non stop all the time it loses it's appeal and you start to feel a bit like a junkie.

I would highly recommend keeping your solution strength as low as possible and limiting your use to no more than two days per week with at least 3-5 days between sessions, and taking a month or two off every once in a while is always a good idea. You'll spend way less money and will feel better physically, and you will be more able to maintain that sweet spot where you are feeling good but are still mentally sharp.


Typical nasal spray bottles seem to be designed to coat your entire nasal cavity with a widely dispersed mist, which means most of the solution ends up being absorbed by the nasal mucosa and having to travel through the blood vessels in your nasal cavity to the brain. Something that allows you to target (idealy) the olfactory epithelium and or the trigeminal nerves in the nasal cavity will allow faster delivery to the brain and reduced waste. This will also help to limit damage to the nasal mucosa by allowing you to use less solution while delivering more directly to the brain. See:

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_administration#Olfactory_transfer
  • http://www.fiercepharma.com/partnering/3m-takes-on-blood-brain-barrier-impel-neuropharma-nasal-drug-delivery-alliance

    Ideally you'd try to find something like Impel NeuroPharma's POD (Precision Olfactory Delivery) device, which is designed to target the spray more effectively to the nerve clusters in the upper nasal cavity. However, it seems to be nearly impossible to source one of these devices online. That being said, there do appear to be at least a couple available devices that might come closer to the POD than standard nasal spray devices:

  • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0725DKD3S/
  • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9PPZH5/

    Note that you'll probably want something with a clear bottle, which makes it much easier to see how much solution is left in the bottle and allows you to spot any impurities in your product (cocaine should rapidly dissolve and leave the solution nearly completely clear, while many adulterants will take longer to dissolve or will not dissolve at all, leaving the solution cloudy with particulates at the bottom of the bottle.

    I haven't personally tested these devices so I can't say for sure if they are any more effective than a standard spray device, but it looks like they should give you greater control over the dispersion target. If anyone knows where to find one of the specialized delivery devices, please let me know.

    Once you have your nasal spray device, you'll probably want some way to consistently prepare your solution. A simple oral syringe will allow you to measure an exact amount of solvent (saline solution):

  • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BM3MC40/

    Saline Solution:

  • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IN5GENU/

    A digital milligram (.001g precision) scale will allow you to measure your solute (the powdered, water soluble drug) with reasonable (but not perfect) precision:

    Scale:

  • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012TDNAM/
  • https://www.amazon.com/B06W5VXN53/

    A funnel will make it easier to get everything into the bottle and is recommended:

  • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MEFE7YO/
  • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CUQ0ITO/
  • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N2NYC1K/

    Once you have all the necessary supplies, unscrew the cap on your nasal spray device and put the funnel into the bottle mouth. Figure out your desired strength for your solution and then measure out the corresponding amount of saline solution and cocaine. The trick with this delivery method is figuring out the correct concentration for your solution depending on how strong you want each spray to be. I've found that 25mg/ml is perfectly sufficient, 50mg / ml is more than enough, and anything stronger is a bit of a waste. In fact, there seem to be diminishing returns anywhere past around 20mg/ml, and in many cases 15 or even 10 mg/ml seems to work just fine.

    First pour the cocaine into the funnel (you don't need to pulverize it), and then using your oral syringe squirt the saline solution onto the cocaine in the funnel where it will rapidly dissolve and fall into the bottle. You could mix the solution in the oral syringe or elsewhere, and you could add the saline solution before the cocaine, but then you'll either end up with wasted solution in another container or a funnel that still has some powdered cocaine on it. If you pour the cocaine straight from the scale into the funnel and then use the solution to wash it down, you should end up with very little wasted cocaine and a nearly clean funnel.

    I'd recommend to start with a weaker solution and try it out, you can always add more cocaine until you figure out the optimum concentration. If you decide to do this, replace the saline you've used each time you add more cocaine so you can accurately track the strength of your solution at each interval.

    At this point you're ready to screw the cap on and use the spray. I'd recommend one pump in each nostril - any more and you'll end up with wasted solution dripping down the back of your throat. However, you can limit waste by laying over the edge of a surface and tilting your head back so that gravity naturally draws the solution towards the olfactory epithelium. In this case two or three sprays per nostril seems to deliver a stronger dose with negligible waste. 30 seconds to one minute seems to be long enough to avoid excessive waste, and 15 seconds may in fact be long enough.

    I think that pretty much covers it. Be forewarned that this delivery method makes it much easier to redose, which would probably contribute to an increased risk of addiction and a tendency towards excessive and chronic use. Also, some have said that this method doesn't deliver the same powerful "kick" as snorting powder, which makes sense as you are using much less of the drug per spray than you would if you snorted a line. For an illustration, lay out what would be a typical line for your and weigh it with your scale. The spray devices listed above typically deliver 0.1ml of solution per spray, so if you have a solution with a concentration of 50mg/ml, then you're only getting 5mg of cocaine per spray, as opposed to something like 20mg for even a small line of powder. I haven't personally tried making a high strength solution, but you could try mixing your solution such that each .1ml spray delivers an amount of cocaine equivalent to a typical line of powder. This would also minimize the total number of sprays needed and the total volume of liquid you'd need to spray into your nose, perhaps limiting irritation.

    However, I've found that even though the absolute dosage is lower the efficacy is much greater, perhaps due to the added liquid facilitating easier absorption and almost certainly due to the decreased waste from powder dripping down your throat or being dispersed and carried elsewhere by the mucous in the nasal cavity.

    As a final note, even though the saline solution will moisturize your nose, I'd still recommend using the plain nasal spray to irrigate and clear your nose periodically or at least at the end of the night, as the solution is quite irritating (though of course much less so than dry powder).

    Good luck and be careful!

My solution to this has been tapping the scale to have the weight go up to weights that are "easier to register" so to speak, and then back down to the actual weight.

u/MrCoolioPants · 1 pointr/askdrugs

Here's the scale I have, it works pretty well although if I were to do it again, I'd probably get one of the ones off this link.

Volumetric Dosing is basically dissolving a known amount of a drug into a known amount of a solvent for easier dosing of small amounts. For example, without some finagling, my scale won't even register an amount lower than about 15mg. If I were to do some 3-MeO-PCE, I wouldn't even be able to weigh out anything lower than a monster dose (which would be highly unsafe with PCP analogues). To get around this, I could dissolve 20-25mg (which I can do accurately every time) and dissolve it in 20-25mL of solvent (most likely Everclear) so that 1mL of liquid contains one mg of PCE. You can also do this with friendlier drugs, such as making a solution for a nasal spray bottle that delivers your sweet spot dose of 2C-B with one pump. There's a bit more to it but that's the basic idea.

u/klove99 · 0 pointsr/opiates

If you read my post you'd know that I'm very aware of that to which you are referring. Let's say you weigh out 1mg and put it in 2ml of water. Now you're restricted to oral or shooting, unless you have a nasal spray. Nasal spray cannot be measured very accurately. Shooting will kill you. Oral will kill a lot of people because of slow uptake they will do too much. PLUS, you have to FUCKING WEIGH IT TO DISSOLVE IN SOLUTION. If it's advertised as a milligram scale, there's no way the accuracy is more than +- 1mg, usually it's half it's stated dose (so +- .5mg). So if they have faulty measuring, they will get faulty dosed either way, the trouble is you've now had them using liquids which are much harder to dose than powders. Measuring out 1mg and cutting it into quarters is much more accurate than dissolving and trying to measure out liquids. I'm not going to argue this further.

EDIT: If you also don't know how to weigh, fentanyl is not for you. Always use a tare, and don't press the tare button. Looking for .001 versus having a 1g tray and looking for 1.001, you'll find a huge difference in accuracy.

EDIT2: Here's a scale on amazon for $35 which folks claim has +- 1mg accuracy. You'll want to pick up a 10g EXACT weight for calibration (I don't own this one, don't know if it's included). These have been weighted with $6000 scales in labs to be 10.000 exact. Calibrate to that. Then, use a tare around that level for best accuracy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00ESGK8WW/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;condition=new

It's especially impossible given that not only is it photographed from just one side so we can't see the entirety of the physical volume, but that physical volume is comprised of mixed shake and nugs, which again, we can't verify the weight of not knowing the amount of each and their respective volumes.

You can only verify for sure by use of a gram scale, preferably a .00 scale , otherwise you're just wasting money and being a noob, buy a .oo scale , any other scale for measuring grams is worthless.

You don't have to get all crazy and get a .000 scale, .00 is just fine.

Here is a great .00 scale made by American Weigh, I personally recommend it.

I use that exact scale to weigh out Guarana seed powder, Maca powder, Elderberry Extract powder, pennies, and other things, and it's always spot on.
