I gotta tell you I'm stressed about veggies

For anyone living in a metric country, below is an excellent online conversion calculator. It has three, one for measurements and weights, one for butter conversions (many countries don't have 'sticks' of butter; this helps) and oven temperature conversions. I have a great digital scale that has both g's and oz's which is a huge help for me. But alot of our packaged foods come in g's only, so sometimes i need to conver them. This really helps!

Yanno its strange, I have lost almost all of my weight NOT measuring my salad greens at all. This of course will vary with some, but I looked at it this way, I got fat from eating processed boxed crap like hamburger helper, rice a roni, mac and cheese etc, I would NEVER buy salad greens and ate them rarely (if at all) before this woe. This morning for breakfast for example, was hungry and opened up a bag of ready made salad, dumped in half to 3/4 of the package into a bowl, topped it up with bacon bits, grilled chicken bites, parm, and dressing and ate til I was satisfied. I had very little salad left in my bowl when I was done. This works for me, I even love salad now, its funny how our tastes change. I even crave it!

That's me for sure! I never measured, I just ate my veggies. And it worked for me. I never ate salads before .. I ate the boxed crap too!! Mac & cheese/hamburger helper, etc.

I dare say, no one got fat eating too many green leafy veggies.
