*****The winner of the Eat Smart Precision Pro Kitchen Scale is MommyP!! Please email Melissa at melissa @ shrinkingjeans dot net with your mailing info! Congratulations.*****

Confession: I have never owned a kitchen scale, until a few weeks ago. I have always *thought* about getting one, but just never committed to it! I received the Eat Smart Precision Pro Kitchen Scale to review and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to weigh my food!

What I like about the scale:

It’s simple and small. I love that it doesn’t take up much space or require a degree in rocket science to figure out how to use it.

It seems very accurate… I tested out all kinds of things and it was within a half of one ounce every time!

The display has large numbers that are easy to read.

A calorie factor booklet is also included. What is a calorie factor, you ask? It’s simply a number, calculated using USDA data that represents the amount of calories per gram of food. Weigh your food, multiply it by the calorie factor, and voila! Total calories!

What I don’t like about the scale:

Really, I have nothing bad to say about it! I don’t have anything to compare it to, but seems to me that it serves it’s purpose well!

Guess what? One lucky reader will receive an Eat Smart kitchen scale too! Simply leave a comment below and let us know how you practice portion control (or if you don’t)!

I have just recommitted to portion control. Right now I am just using measuring cups where I can. Obviously for meat that doesn't work. LOL Also if the package says 1 serving = whatever, I just eat the one serving.
