I have to confess that I'm having some body issues right now. My youngest son is now 5 weeks old and for the past two weeks my weight has been stuck in limbo. I gained quite a bit of weight while I was pregnant and now with half of it gone the other half is holding on strong. I'm nursing so I'm not going on any type of diet, however I do need to be more mindful of what I'm eating and how much of it I'm eating.
I've never been one to count calories, but I know I need to watch my portion sizes. The EatSmart Precision Elite Kitchen Scale can help me do both if I want. The Precision Elite Kitchen Scale provides precise measurements to the nearest .05 oz or 1 gram. It displays in ounces, lbs, grams and kgs. The scale comes with an EatSmart Calorie Factors Guide that you can use to determine calculate the number of calories being consumed in all of the major food groups plus nuts, sweets and snacks.
I've used a smaller kitchen scale before, but I really like the bigger surface size of this scale. Its large enough to hold a mixing bowl so if you want to add multiple ingredients while baking you don't have to dirty multiple bowls.
I also like that it can handle my dinner plate and the Tare feature eliminates the weight of the plate for accurate measuring. The scale is very simple to use and honestly the instructions aren't really needed after taking a quick glance to learn which button is which. The large lighted display makes it easy to read. It also has a 3-minute auto-shutoff feature so if you walk away from it for a while your batteries won't get drained.
The EatSmart Precision Elite Kitchen Scale is a great kitchen tool to have on hand for baking, cooking and weight-watching. Plus its stainless steel design means it will look great in any kitchen. It also comes with a 2 year warranty. You can learn more by connecting with EatSmart via Facebook or following them on Twitter. You can purchase the scale on Amazon.
Be sure to stop back by the site soon for a chance to win your own Precision Elite Kitchen Scale thanks to EatSmart!

I've been wanting a kitchen scale for SUCH a long time! This one looks simple and easy to use, which is great because that means I might actually use it lol
ReplyDeleteI also have a hard time controlling my portions!
ReplyDeleteI need to get myself a scale like this. Would be perfect to measure my portions.
ReplyDeleteThis really does look easy to use and like you, i too have a problem controlling my portions. I do a lot of measuring by eye but I know I am off. This would really come in handy as I have always wanted and would use it.
ReplyDeleteI think these are a great way to do portion control and since I could lose more than a few pounds this would be a helpful way to do just that.
ReplyDeleteI love this simple way to implement portion control!
ReplyDeleteI like that it is digital and easy to read

ReplyDeleteIve always wanted a scale this ones really nice !!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of the big buttons!
ReplyDeleteVery nice scale
ReplyDeleteI'd love to use this for baking. I'm bad about doing the "no-nos" when I'm measuring my ingredients - shaking the measuring cup to make the flour settle, which results in too much flour in the mix; or using a dry cup measure instead of a liquid measure for liquids, for example - so I could really use a more precise method.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great scale for keeping you on track with your diet - so many times we think we know what a portion of something is, but we're often way off! This would really help
ReplyDeleteI have a kitchen scale but would love to own a digital kitchen scale.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE this scale to weigh out my meat accurately!

ReplyDeleteI have been seeing a lot of bloggers talk about kitchen scales lately and wondering why I don't have one! Thanks for the review!! I need to look for one of these!
ReplyDeleteheatherp626@msn.com
I have a kitchen scale that isn't very precise, and I need a more accurate one.
ReplyDeleteI have never owned a kitchen scale but could really use one to help with portion control.
ReplyDeleteI could really use a digital kitchen scale, mine is pretty old and not at all accurate. The calorie factor guide is a nice bonus. I also like that it measures in ounces and grams.
ReplyDeleteI've never used a kitchen scale and I think that has been a big problem in my household. We have a few health issues and would like to control our weight, but we first have to control portions. I think that the information this scale provides would prove to be a great "reality check" and help us get on track!!!
ReplyDeleteI never can eyeball what a portion is so this would be a great help!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting a kitchen scale for a long time and have been doing without one since I was married.
ReplyDeleteThe EatSmart Precision Elite Kitchen Scale is a great kitchen tool to have on hand for baking, cooking and weight-watching. <<<< It's also great for weighing yarn. Which is what I use mine for. LOL I'm a geek yes, but that is what I use it for
ReplyDeleteive always wanted one of these because i need to start watching what i eat
ReplyDeleteI like that its shut off is 3 minutes-- mine is like 30 seconds, I think, and I'm always stepping away for a moment only for the display to be gone! It can be really frustrating.
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect. I am from the south where portions are huge, I have such a hard time trying to figure out how much is "too much". Something like this would be great for portion control.
ReplyDeleteI like that it has a three minute shutoff. I would love to use this to measure fish and chicken portions.
ReplyDeleteI like that the readout is easy to read and that it has a larger weighing surface.
ReplyDeleteupstatemissy@gmail.com
This could come in handy.
ReplyDeleteI love the large display and that it accounts for the weight of the plate.
ReplyDeleteThe larger surface area really is incredible! olivia41393@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteThe scale is a must as we journey towards eating more healthy portions.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted a kitchen scale to better keep track of what I eat!
ReplyDeleteI tend to have a portion size problem so I could definitely use this!
ReplyDeleteI use smaller plates but still have trouble with portion control
ReplyDeletethis is so more much accurate than the one i have now, which is only up to 0.2 oz
ReplyDeleteI could use a scale for portion control. I do a lot of baking too and it would be nice to have to make sure the batter is evenly distributed.
ReplyDeletePortion control would be a good thing. I have never been very good at that. Maybe this would help me learn.
ReplyDeleteI've been using a simple kitchen scale for many years now and I think it's time to upgrade to a digital version.
ReplyDeleteI've never been one to count calories, but I know I need to watch my portion sizes. The EatSmart Precision Elite Kitchen Scale can help me do both

ReplyDeleteI had a scale previously, my daughter took it to college , she wanted to stay trim. I need to buy another one!
ReplyDeleteI've had a scale like this on my Wish List for such a long time. I like to bake and the whole measuring flour controversy has me wondering if my baked goods would really turn out better if i measured by flour by weight. I've been scooping and leveling for so long and results can really be hit or miss. I also would like this portion control...overall this looks like the scale for me...thx for the oppty to win one :)
ReplyDeletei like this beacuse i have to eat only 1200 a day and then i need something tomeasure the intake
ReplyDeleteI love it is digital would be great for measuring out meat and weekly meals
ReplyDeletemaybe with something like this the recipes will come out right! - regnod(at)yahoo(d0t)com
ReplyDeleteI like that it has a large surface to weigh thing with and is really accurate too. We have a old scale that has a really small weighing are and is only accurate to 1/8 ounce. This scale would be a lot better and easier to use.
ReplyDeleteLove that it weighs with tare weight!! Such a cool scale!
ReplyDeleteThis would be so great for portion control.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so nice. I had just a cheap scale but it quit working. It is so nice to have an idea of what things weigh in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteThis is just what my husband needs! He's been dieting using portions and this scale sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI've been needing a kitchen scale for a while now. I hope to win this in your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand your need to watch how much you are eating! I am in a similar situation, my daughter is almost 3 months now and I feel like I am in limbo as well!! It is not a great feeling :(
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an awesome product. I would probably use it in science class, versus the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI love the broad surface and that it measures even the smallest amounts! perfect for recipes that go by weight!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great since I am terrible at measuring things when they say a pound of potatoes and etc!
ReplyDeleteI like the tare feature so you can eliminate the weight of a bowl or plate prior to putting food on it to weigh the portion. I need to start portioning carbs and protein so I can eat a more balanced meal.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great for baking.
ReplyDeleteI've never been sure about what the correct portion size would be. I love that the numbers are so easy to read.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the review.
This looks like a great scale and would be very useful for measuring out ingredients for baking.

The EatSmart Precision Elite Kitchen Scale seems like a gem to have in the kitchen. The EatSmart Calorie Factors Guide is very interesting with it's calorie calculator for the major food groups. I've never seen a scale do that before. The size is very appealing. I've only used (and still do) small scales. A lot of the time it's a pain in the neck since you can only fit so much on it. I like how the EatSmart one can handle large mixing bowls and even dinner plates.
ReplyDeleteThis scale has so many useful items to use. It is also very neat & clean looking. It would look good in the kitchen.
ReplyDeletei want to lose weight and it would be nice to have this scale to count calories.
ReplyDeleteI have never thought about using a scale for portion control before but this one seems so easy to use thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteThis is GREAT scale for Weight Watchers!! They always want to track points by how much food weighs, like shrimp and meat.
ReplyDeleteI love the auto shut off feature. That's so smart. I always forget to turn things off.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get going with healthier eating and having a scale to help measure and maintain portion control would be key to my success
ReplyDeleteThis is great!! Sounds like a nice addition to the kitchen! lexbaylor27 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteThis looks so cool. Being able to fit a plate on it is very useful. The Tare feature is a great feature as well.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to monitor my calories. This scale sounds great. I like that it is accurate and precise.
ReplyDeleteThis kitchen scale looks very nice. Thanks for sharing!
