Hi, i have the american cups for weighing and they range from 80ml - 125ml - 250ml will these be the same measures as the portion pots? and if yes where can i get a food list and their weights or do i have to buy the rosemary conley ones, and is it a big list compared to what's given here? it takes ages working out calories in things like rice and pasta these will make it so much easier :)
 
Hi Poppy, the portion pot sizes are 80ml, 125ml, 250ml & 330ml

The majority of items are on the post above.

I think the list only comes with the portion pots which you can buy off RC website.

I 'VE ordered another set had mine for over 2yrs i think when did rc 1st time round much easier touse them than scales?it s ays there is apot for spaghetti or is it pasta? dont ave this with mine ,hopefully have them soon ordered yesterday.
 
got my portion pots last night, havn't really studied t6he card properly yet, but one of the pots is for pasta shapes, but in the gren pot there is a round hole on the handle, and you use that for dried spaghetti to measure your portion size.

i never use mine, i should really , i think i just know not to have alot now, and my stomache has shrunk anyway so i feel too full up all the time, its a wierd feeling.

thing is Ria, thats when you portion control starts getting out of hand again as what could be 180 cals in a pot could be 250 cals if you're guessing the quantity.

The pots are so easy to use though so you may as well be sure of the cals you're eating.
