In this 45‑second YouTube tutorial, Eric Roberts explains a practical, step‑by‑step method for accurately tracking food calories. He starts by recommending the purchase of a gram‑measuring food scale, then shows how to zero the scale with a plate or bowl, weigh the portion of food to be eaten, and input the weight into a calorie‑counting app, which will compute the calories based on the weight. He adds a bonus tip that users can weigh food either raw or cooked, provided they indicate the state when entering the data. Finally, he promotes his own calorie‑counting and workout app, inviting viewers to click a link in his bio to try it.

Everyone tells you to track your calories, but nobody actually shows you how to do it. Here is a 45-second step-by-step tutorial that you can save. Step 1, you're gonna buy a food scale, and any scale that measures in grams is okay. Step 2, you're gonna place your plate or bowl on the scale and then make sure to zero it out so it says zero on the scale. Step 3, you are then going to place food you are going to eat and how much of it you are going to eat. And then step 4, you are going to take that number and enter it into your calorie counting app. And based on how much the food weighs, your calorie counting app will calculate calories for you. And one bonus tip, you can weigh your food raw or cooked. Just make sure you specify which one it is when you enter it into your calorie counting app. And for what app to use, I built my own calorie counting and workout app. Click this link in my if you want to check it out.
