Let's say I buy 16oz of hamburger and there is 15 grams of saturated fat for 1 serving size, and that serving size is 4oz, now most americans do not use a scale to weigh there meat, so most of the time we actually use about 8oz and we are getting twice the amount of saturated fat, and calories and cholesterol. If we understood, the amount of servings we are suppose to use, that would really help us cut in half all calories,cholesterol and saturated fat from our diet. So in the end, investing in a food scale can help you stay away from unwated serving sizes and fats.
