Digital Food Scale You've probably already got a measuring cup and some measuring spoons. (And if you don't, get some ASAP!) But do you break them out every time you ought to? Even if you're really good at estimating portions, you could unintentionally take in a lot of extra calories. Especially since the volume per serving (1/2 cup, for example) isn't always completely accurate -- the weight is the most exact. (Nutrition labels always list weight in addition to or instead of volume.) That's why a digital food scale is SO important. Just place a bowl or plate on the scale, and then set the scale to zero. Spoon out your food 'til you hit the right weight. Wanna add something else? Reset the scale to zero and repeat! So easy, so accurate, and you won't have to clean various measuring cups and spoons. Use it f or pretty much anything -- ice cream, cereal, snacks, recipes, and more. Look for one that measures both grams and ounces and has a "zero" or "tare" button (that's how you reset the scale to zero while there's stuff already on it).
