Numbers, finance, and computers were my forte, part of my professional environment. Having an intuitive understanding of how math works has helped in more that my work life. Almost everything I do involves math of some sort.
I love cooking and gadgets, , one I thought wouldn’t be of use was a digital scale. I don’t know how I lived without it, simplifying measurements of wet or gooey ingredients like: honey, peanut butter, or molasses. The digital scale measures in grams, ounces, pounds, and kilograms. You need to convert weight measures of the food products to measures called for in a recipe.
I have a list of conversions hand, I still write the most common measures on popular products. A digital scales are helpful when working to maintain a tight nutrition plan when you need to weigh and/or measure your daily intake.
As a fitness and nutrition coach, I use numbers when relaying information to clients. Individualized nutrient breakdown of: carbs, proteins, and fats to summarizing body composition factors, is loaded with numbers. Activity based nutrient timing manipulation requires the client have a basic math knowledge.

Improving these numbers takes a lot of time and research; there are many tactics and approaches to improve your ranking and readership. I’m sneaking in a few tips to building your ranking and readership into this post, an Easter Egg surprise.
This list isn’t all-inclusive and by no means should you tackle it all at once. Use this as a reference and feel free to ask for clarification on anything here.
