measuring bulk powders

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



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

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.

Yes, a scale. Where are you from? Where is this place?

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

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

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.

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

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
