Food scale recommendations please!

Torygetsfit · February 2018

I’ve realized to be successful I need to buy a food scale. Im totally new to using one. I’m getting overwhelmed with all the options on line/ fake reviews. I Would appreciate true recommendations from the community, thank you!

I just went through this search as well and in the end decided against getting a food scale. My reason for not getting a food scale is that I am not able to track my calorie burn accurately enough to worry about trying to track my caloric intake to the nearest 0.1 gram or even the nearest 0.25 oz. I decided to stick with measuring cups for most food. If I were to get a food scale I would get one with the weight that slides along a bar i.e. a mechanical scale.

I love this one. I actually got one for my mom for Christmas and when I was showing her how to use it I realized I liked it a lot better than mine so I bought myself one too! It's only $11 too which is a plus. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Stainless-Digital-Batteries-Included/dp/B06X9NQ8GX/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1518108250&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=food+scale+amazon+basics&psc=1

I replaced mine with this one. You can get it at bed bath and beyond with a 20% off coupon and their return policy can't be beat. I like that it has a pull out display for large dishes or for when I make a big batch of something and need a large bowl to weigh and figure out servings. So far I love it.

This may sound slightly silly, but depending on your needs head over to the nearest tobacco/head shop and pick up a stoner scale for 20 bucks. Super accurate to the tenth of a gram. Not ideal for bulk but a few lbs worth of food works great

This is the scale that I've been using for years and it works perfectly for me! I like that you can remove the measuring plate to clean it. You'd be surprised on how messy they can get, so being able to wash it is a plus for me. I usually measure in grams, but it has ounces/pounds if you prefer. I even use it to weigh packages to send in the mail and never had trouble with it measuring inaccurately. I'd recommend it!

Honestly any scale that is digital, can switch between metric and imperial units, and has a tare button will do. But I’m going to go against the person above me and say don’t buy anything from Taylor. I owned two and they were both terrible.

I have 2 scales ... one of them can use negative numbers, ie put a bowl of food on the scale, tare, and as you remove the food you get a number for joe much is missing ( -135g) where as the other one just gets confused ( —- ) ... the counting backwards I find really useful when doing multiple people and you don’t have to keep putting plates on and off the scale

Food scale recommendations please!
