One of the reasons I always wanted a kitchen scale was for portion control, especially with cereal or snacks.
I weighed a bowl of Love Grown granola. In this case, I forgot to zero out the scale, so I just weighed the bowl (38 g) and subtracted that number from the one shown below.
I ate 35 grams of granola, or just a little over the serving size.
This scale is definitely great for keeping my granola habit in check! I also love that I don't have to use a measuring cup to see what size portion I am eating.
My scale came with this great book, which has basic instructions and the calorie factor numbers. The $69.95 scale actually has 1,000 nutritional values programmed in if you want something more sophisticated.
I cut up some strawberries for my lunch and decided to experiment with them to see how many calories they would equal out to. So, I looked up the calorie factor for raw strawberries, which is .32 and multiplied it by how much they weighed on the scale.
I zeroed out the scale this time and then weighed my strawberries.
I ate 39.04 calories with that serving size of strawberries for lunch today. This is great for when I count calories and really want to closely keep track of what I am taking in each day.
While I haven't used other digital kitchen scales to compare this one to, I would definitely recommend this product! It retails for $25 on Amazon. Obviously I am not the only person to have really enjoyed this product because the precision pro scale is rated 4.8 of 5 stars on Amazon! That is pretty spectacular!

Do you own a kitchen scale?
I have almost every kitchen gadget but a kitchen scale. Since I bake all the time, I think it would be especially useful in measuring flour.
ReplyDeleteI have a really old pampered chef scale, a new digital one would be amazing
