Measuring Your Food

  • Ok, so I've recently started measuring my food so that my calorie count can be more accurate. Today, I decided I really wanted some banana nut muffins. I had Betty Crocker, the premium one for muffins and quick bread. I used only half a cup of 2% milk, 2 large egg whites, 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup canola veggie oil.

    I measured my batter into paper cups at 37g each, like the box says. It also says there are 12 servings in the box. I got 19. Why? The volume shouldn't have changed that much, right? Everything was measured but the numbers are off. I just want to know if someone can explain this to me.

    Thanks girls/guys!

  • Is it 37g of just the mix, maybe? Or 37g once they are baked? (they will lose moisture while baking). In that case, I would just divide it into 12 equal portions.
