Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 It's just that you're whipping air into it, so that's the differnce in volume. Nutritional content remains the same.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 >> when you whip cream, how does the volume change, or rather how do you change the nutrient amount (fat, protein, carb) based on the new volume? -- I believe this is the reason behind weighing rather than measuring by volume. The Freeman book kind of harps about that; I suspect this is exactly why. I measure cream by weight, regardless of how it is served--diluted with water as " milk " (Thanks DeEtte...1:3 seems about right), straight up, or whipped. Volume is a fickle critter...

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 Ok I am going to jump in here - so if for example Mike is taking 37g of cream per meal then even after it is whipped I am going to weigh out 37g correct? Even tho it looks like more it isnt right? Jenn DeEtte Person wrote: > It's just that you're whipping air into it, so that's > the differnce in volume. Nutritional content remains > the same.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 Whether 'tis whipped or not...... weigh out the prescribed amount. Yes.... you're right.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 I have always noticed if I measure it before whipping, I would loose grams being left on the utensil i whipped it with, so I measure after I whip it! Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 I remember asking this question when Jess initiated the diet! I have always weighed the cream after it is whipped. When Jess's meal calls for, say, 33 grams of cream, we serve 23 grams in the form of a shake, and save 10 grams whipped to give her meds. I keep pre- whipped cream in the fridge, and just weigh it out each time, already whipped.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 I think I would weigh unwhipped, then whip and serve.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Thanks for all who responded to my cream question. I was trying to measure by volume instead of just weighing - now I know better! (mom to a, 3 and big brother ) P.S. I am learning so much from this group! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 I figure if you always do the same thing-like whip it before and measure it-or measure it and make sure you get as much as you can off of the whipper it should be OK I go for the whip it before. I whip about 3 days worth and then weigh it out as I use it? Diane Re: cream question Ummm.....is that a trick question??
