I weigh my food on a digital scale. If the measurement has a decimal point it would be easier to enter 1 and choose .3 rather than a fraction. The fractions provided don't seem to cover some values…

Re: Been in Ketosis over 5 weeks and gained 2 lbs??
As I am sure many will point out, calories do count. Have you checked to confirm you are in ketosis? I would suggest you track your foods, make sure you are in a caloric deficit by calculating your…

Re: Motivated but discouraged
@dpotesta101e per volume, yes. But a pound of fat and a pound of muscle will weigh a pound - the muscle is just denser and thus is smaller in volume. :-)
