Yeah, I'm planning on using it mostly for things like fruit, potatoes, pasta, etc. Stuff that isn't easy to shove into a measuring cup and/or that isn't standard-sized.
I've been putting some relatively small apples in my lunch lately, and guessing they were 10-15g, but my scale said 22g carbs. Makes sense b/c I was going a bit higher than expected.
It even has all kinds of cereal in the booklet - Special K, Cheerios, Alphabits....a bunch of them. I find cereal difficult to measure b/c there's so much space in between the pieces that it doesn't fit nicely into a measuring cup. Same with rotini and other pastas. It'll be great for that.
