So, I got these honey soybeans and it appears there are about 2 dry cups in the container, which says 8.5 oz, and 170 calories per 1 oz. serving. Not knowing much about dry vs liquid measurement, I've been using the tablespoon that came with my coffee grounds to measure out servings of the soybeans. 1 tbsp and I'd say ~85 calories...but this is wrong, isn't it? It's probably more like 50 calories? I know it's not a big deal, but over time, I've probably gotten ~400 or so calories less every 2 weeks or so with this method.
So I think I've shortchanged myself abit, dammit. Which sucks, cause I'm already on a comparatively low-calorie weight/muscle gain diet (2500 calories or so (5'9.5 male, have been kind of taking advantage of "beginner gains", I think)
Damn, I also have to figure out how to measure my whey powder if I don't use a full serving (sometimes I use it as coffee creamer!).
This is more of a dumb realization than a question, but I'm right now, right?!
How many liquid tbsp in a cup of nuts, roughly, would be a nice thing to know. No standard though, I bet. Also, measuring peanut butter is freaking hard, I may start eyeballing, but then, I generally give myself more, hehe.
I guess I need a scale.
