Mini or pocket food scale recommendations?

quintessence84 · September 2018

I work in a University dining hall, so I eat 2 meals a day here. We have nutrition info available for all our food plus our bowls and cups measure 1/2 cup to 1 1/2 cups so that helps a lot. Problem is, most nutrition info serving sizes are listed in ounces (dry not liquid obvs). I have been eyeballing it, and eating small portions, but since this takes up so many of my
meals i want to be more accurate. I have a regular food scale i use at home but it's too clunky to bring with me to work. Does anyone know of any smaller scales they would recommed? Ive looked some up but would like to know from actual users what is good. Thanks!

Have you asked if there is a scale in the kitchen? I would think that they would have one.

@mountainmare We have food scales at each station, but for sanitation reasons, we can't prepare or bring the food we get on break to food prep areas. So it would be easier to get my food and bring it to my table to weigh.

Amazon has pocket food scales. About $15.
