Hello as above do you weigh out how much rice or pasta you are having I know its free but surely too much is bad? so if you do weigh how much per person are you having? Also do people limit potatoes?

I always measure rice and pasta. Normally 75g of pasta, and 1/3 of a cup of rice per person. I've always measured rice and pasta, even before I joined SW.
Potatoes get controlled I guess. Depending on what I'm using them for, but generally 1 potato per person.

Funnily enough, I only weigh pasta/rice now that I'm maintaining. I still tend to have 2 jacket spuds, though, if they're my main meal

I usually have 100g of uncooked rice or pasta for a main meal. Might explain a few things...

The suggested weight on back says 75g so that's only reason I started using it but is enough for me x
