Here are some more information for Gram Scale Calibration:

Emotional Eating - Get Beyond the Food
What is eating about?
Beautiful tastes and textures, wonderful aromas, a pleasing plate of food?
Something to fill you up when you are hungry?
A great gift that you can share with others, while you also enjoy their company?
A list of calories, fat grams or carbohydrate grams?
A stack of guilty pleasures or healthy (less enjoyable) alternatives?
Food shouldn't be any one thing to us. We use food to give calories and nutrients to our bodies, for sure, but it is also a source of pleasure for the sheer joy of eating. It also enables us to spend time with others in a social and sharing way.
And occasionally we have to eat because we are hungry, even though we may not have time for food. Occasionally we use the food to fill in the long gaps between nothing, eating from boredom or loneliness. All of us have a composite approach to food, a mosaic of behaviours that describes our relationship with food.
But what predominates for you? And are you using food too often to fill in the gaps in the rest of your life (or to block out other things that are going on)?
In order to see how you view food, next time you eat, and for the next couple of days ask you self these questions before eating:
* Am I really physically hungry? And on a scale of 1 to 10 how hungry am I? - calibrate your eating to cope with your hunger.
* Is this predominantly a social meal that I am having with friends? -If yes you might want to spend more time talking and listening than eating.
* Am I eating from habit simply because it is a meal time? - You might want to wait half an hour or so and then re-measure your hunger (but don't let yourself get TOO hungry).
* Am I eating for emotional hunger - to fill in an emotional gap (I'm lonely or bored) or to squash too much emotion (I'm angry).
It takes courage to answer the last question (and I'll be talking more about courage in the next newsletter) but if emotional eating is your downfall you cannot deal with it purely at the level of the food, you have to address the emotions.
Sometimes just stopping and allowing yourself to feel what you are feeling can give your emotional brain the support it needs, so you can go on to REALLY enjoy your food.
Try it and see.

trying to calibrate my pocket scale, but i need an exactly 500 grams?
and i don't have a calibration weight, what exactly can I use to calibrate.
i know that a nickel weighs exactly 5 grams, but i don't have 100 nickels!
100 nickels is only 5 bucks, so head down to your local bank and exchange a $5 bill for it.
Another option: water has a density very close to 1g/mL at room temperature. Thus, you can get 500g by measuring out 500mL of water. If you lack good measuring equipment and if you have a way to "zero" or "tare" your scale, many water bottles are 500mL. Buy two and drink one of them. Dry it thoroughly (might have to let it sit for the water to evaporate), place it on the scale with lid, tare the scale, and place on the filled water bottle. I am not sure how accurately such bottles are filled, so this may be imprecise.
The nickels option is probably your best bet.
