Eat Smart Digital Scale Review and Giveaway

Posted on

The Eat Smart Digital Kitchen Scale is a great addition to any kitchen.

When it comes to eating right, portion control is probably the hardest thing for me. It’s really easy to load my plate up with too much. Even if I try to stick to a serving size, it’s difficult to eyeball how much is just enough.

I used my Eat Smart Scale to measure out portion sizes, and I was really surprised by the difference between what I thought was the right amount of food, and what it really was.

For example I used the scale to weigh some crackers:

This is the hand full I grabbed out of the box to begin with:

Nine crackers all together.

This is the actual serving size after I weighed them:

My original handful was almost twice the size of a serving. No wonder my pants aren’t getting any smaller! All those extra crackers go right to my hips.

It is kind of a pain to weigh out everything you eat, but if I can fit back into those clothes hanging in the back of my closet, it’s worth it. And the East Smart actually makes it pretty simple. It’s small, light and battery operated, so I can move it around anywhere in my kitchen. I can even take it to the dinner table with me. It weighs in grams, ounces, kilograms and pounds. Also, you can set the tare weight so you can weigh food on a plate or in a bowl.

The Eat Smart Digital Scale has other uses in the kitchen as well.

I often buy meat in bulk packages to save money. When I get it home, I repackage it for the freezer in smaller amounts for making meals. I used to just guess, but now I use my Eat Smart to divide it evenly into 1 lb. portions.

Sometimes recipes list ingredients in grams or ounces instead of cups and tablespoons. I had to convert the measurements before. Now I can just weigh out the ingredients with my East Smart.

The Eat Smart Digital Kitchen Scale is available at Amazon.com.

  14. I NEED to use something like this… just ask my hips… they don’t lie… as you will soon see in person.

    I’m not sure I have the discipline to actually use it but I should and maybe I would – or at least sometimes and every little bit helps, right? 🙂

  19. I would love to have this when I go back on Weight Watchers after the baby is born. Portion control is really what it is about and a good scale is key to that. I had a cheap scale that was terrible and I pitched it. This one looks like it could weigh chicken like a pro! 🙂

  24. HA! I am pretty sure I just saw this scale on a episode of Thintervention where one of the women was weighing her dress to make sure she wore her lightest outfit! Certainly one way I could use this scale. hehehe
    Just joined the Hedgehog group on SITS. Heading over to twitter to find you!

  28. Oh yeah…portion control is my mortal enemy. I was SO SURE that a quart of ice cream was only one serving…turns out, I’m entirely wrong. Ridiculous. I’d love to win one of these so that the buttons stop popping off my pants.

  30. This would be great for measuring cheese. My husband loves cheese on everything, so I melt shredded cheese on a lot of our dinners. I usually just pour straight out of the bag. I don’t even want to think about how many servings everyone ends up eating.

  32. I have a Weight Watchers scale from 1996 and I still use it every day. I’m honestly still surprised from time to time when I see what a serving size actually looks like!

  39. I’d love to be able to weigh our garden produce – the bathroom scle isn’t quite sensitive enough for that.

  49. I would also use it for serving sizes. It is really eye opening when you see what an actual serving size is. It would be very useful!!

  70. It is at the pont I am doing bowl sizes for snacks but am proud I have gone from a size 18 to a 10 with eating right , self control and moving in a 6 month period. Would love to see proper sizes and help my eldest son who needs self control- he would measure out snack sizes he said if I got one so it would be cool to have- to help us learn a little more. I am at a great clothing size but I have these jeans from hs from 30 years ago I am almost in and it would be great to get into those- having. Not worried about weight because I see more muscle mass but still want and have alot of toning and getting in shape

  75. A friend has lost alot of weight by measuring her food, I am terrible at estimating, so this would help me keep on track

  78. I would typically use the scale to weigh portions of meat, fish and poultry since most of the liquids and dry goods I measure by the cup or teaspoon already.

  81. I would love to win this because I started my total body transformation in July of this year, and I have been counting my calories for the last 3+ weeks. I really need a digital scale like this because as you said, sometimes what you THINK is a serving is 3x a serving. lol. Thank you so much.

  89. I would use it to weigh food for portion control. I also like your idea to weigh out meat – I probably would have never thought about that.

  95. I would use it for measuring while I bake. The recipes I have call for measurements I can’t do and this will help so much!

  107. I would use it when I make my home made granola, my receipe calls for ingredients in ounces, I tend to add to much nuts, but this scale would help!

  113. I want to check the wight of the portions of food I eat. Also want to verify manufacturing weight of products.

  114. I’d use the scale to weigh all my portions of food. My current food electronic scale is on its last legs, so to speak!

    Reply

  116. Like you, I would use the scale to have me eating the right portion sizes instead of guessing. I’d also use it to help figure out how much ingredients cost to know if I’m saving money by making things from scratch at home (like bread, laundry soap…)

  121. I’ve been on an all liquid diet for the past 4 months. I start back on real food next week. This would really help keep me on track.

    Thanks for the giveaway >^..^<

  124. I buy in bulk quite often. It’s a pain when it comes to recipes that call for a pound of this or so many ounces of that. I have to find a conversion chart or guess 🙂

  129. I am on a strict diet due to diabetes, and this would help me keep my portions correct! Thanks.
