I packed my food scale and never took it out

Four-day work trip, and I zipped my little food scale into the laptop bag like always. Then I left it there the whole time. Breakfast was eggs and fruit, lunch was whatever was near the conference, dinners were social and not exactly macro-friendly.

I still did my morning weigh-ins on the hotel scale and logged them, but I only paid attention to the 7-day average. By the time I got home, that average was down 0.4 lb. The daily dots bounced around, obviously.

The calm part was not treating any single morning as a verdict. Curious whether others pack tools they never end up using, or if I should just stop carrying the scale.
