Summary

Let's chat about food scales…
 
I know food scales seem daunting, I know there is a lot hesitation around using them, I know that within some circles they have a bad rap. That's why in this episode, I want to explain WHY I LOVE using a food scale, how it helps me reach my goals and feel great in my body, how to select the right food scale, and how to actually use a foods scale.
 
The benefits of food scales:
 
They help with portion control
You can weigh ingredients that are hard to measure
They are consistently accurate
They are easy to use
It encourages you to stop mindlessly eating
It helps you build the body you want. 
It makes macro counting SO MUCH EASIER. 
 
Okay, so before you can start weighing your food, you're going to need a food scale. Which one should you get?
 
Determine what type of food scale you want to use. Some people prefer to purchase a digital scale because it offers exact measurements without guesswork; other options include spring and weight scales.
 
When choosing, focus on selecting a scale that has numbers you can easily read, is within your budget, has a bowl or cup for holding food and is easy to maintain.
 
My favorite food scales:
 
OXO Good Grips 11-Pound Stainless Steel Food Scale with Pull-Out Display. 
The OXO Good Grips 5-lb Food Scale with Pull-Out Display
