measuring bulk powders

icanrace · 09-06-2005, 12:15 PM

what is the best way to measure out bulk powders when looking for a specific gram count?

A lot of the bulk powders do not come with a scoop.

I am just wondering if there is a cooking measuring device that would give someone an accurate measurment.

Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

a scale

Depends on what kind of powder youve got. If its whey, then youll need a measuring cup... if its taurine, a teaspoon works OK.

So we need that info.

if you ordered from bulknutrition, youre gonna need you some measuring spoons, for example, 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, tablespoon.

do you know what those equal in grams?

it would vary by powder (different densities), which is why you need a scale to measure accurately.

that makes sense guys.
Can I get a scale at a local store? A cheap one?

yeah, I got mine from Wal-Mart. But it depends on what you consider cheap. I got a digital one for $30-$40 but you could try to go non-electronic if it doesn't bother you.

where are they in Wal-Mart? The pharmacy area?
Thanks for the help all

If these are Bulknutritions products, then he has how much is in a 1/4 teaspoon on the label.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine Powder 1/4 tsp = 640mg

**IainDaniel** · 09-07-2005, 07:43 AM

Bulk Nutrition also has decent scales

I did not order these from Mike, they came from a custom nutrition place. I'm at work now and do not have the link, nor can I remember the web address.

I will look into a digital scale for sure. Thanks again guys for your help

Custom Nutrition Warehouse?

icanrace · 09-07-2005, 09:36 AM

yep, sounds right.

Purdue Power recommended them to me

Damn good prices!

Thanks for the help

many places to get cheap digital scales, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc. just about any place that has cooking utensils and supplies carry them

icanrace · 09-12-2005, 08:27 PM

I will have to check it out. So the cooking area is where it's at, huh?

Thanks again bro..............
