My Review
I have been trying to get my family on a healthier track, and though we generally eat healthy, portion control was a concern of mine. Although my family is not overweight and my children are a healthy weight for their age, I still want to teach them the benefits of healthy eating habits while they are young. The greatest benefit of a kitchen scale is that it provides you with an accurate and precise way to measure your food. Weighing all of your ingredients down to the ounce or gram is far more reliable as apposed to using measuring cups. The scale also comes with a calorie counting book that teaches you how to calculate the amount of calories in many common foods. It’s an all around beneficial item to have in your kitchen if you are trying to keep your calories under control and serve healthier food portions.
I absolutely love how small and compact this scale is! My counter is slowly being taken over by kitchen appliances, so I was very excited that my kitchen scale was small enough to fit right on the counter with them. Because of it’s light weight, its easy to move about the kitchen and have my kids help with the measurements. I am very pleased with the scale and the price is extremely affordable!
Here is the EatSmart Digital Kitchen Scale:
I placed a bowl on top of the scale to show you how you can subtract the weight of the plate
I simply pressed the tare button and the weight of the scale is subtracted! I also switched the measurement over to ounces.
The bag of pretzels suggested 1oz for the serving size. So I placed the appropriate amount of pretzels in and now have my healthy serving of pretzels. How easy was that? This can get somewhat addicting, but a health addiction it is indeed!
This is the very useful calorie counter booklet that came with the scale!

I have wanted one of these scales for a long time. This one appears to be “smart” but “user friendly” at the same time. That is definitely an asset of this machine. Good review, thank you.
I need to get a nice scale like this one!
This tool would be helpful, my fiance and I both could use this. I have been trying to count calories without one of these and it just doesn’t work as well.
love these ideas. just what i need to jump start my diet.
I have been wanting to buy a scale, but never got around to it.
Very unique scale,I truly like it
I would love a digital kitchen scale. Much more accurate than the “Flintstone-ish” one I own now & have had for years. Obviously, it isn’t working right…………I’m still overweight!
Calorie factor is what I need because I eat a lot of junk food

Its very hard to eat healthy and control the amount that you eat this site gives heltful hints
This would drive me nuts! lol aving to measure everything, seperate it all, sort it… But most of all…. It would show me how small a serving size is… And make me feel horrible after realizing I normally eat a good 3 times that normally >,<
this a really nice scale my kids are ona health kick, thank u
I love this scale and really need one in my kitchen.
I’ve always used a scale in my kitchen but this one looks like the platform you put the plate on looks larger then most of them. Thanks for the great review. I’ll definitely be checking this one out.
Thank you for a great review, I always look to my bloggers for their trusted opinions on products before I purchase. I love how the scale subtracts the amount of the bowl giving you a more accurate weight. The booklet that comes with the product is also beneficial to my family as we are all trying to get healthy and we live in a world where everything is super sized. This will help us reign in our portion control. Thanks for the info.
This is pretty cool and I like how it comes with a calorie counting book!
I really am in need of a scale and I love this one. It weighs up to 15 pounds which is perfect and Eatsmart is a very good name brand. My old scale is on its last leg so this would be one I will have to possibly get when mine gives out.
This looks like what I need to weigh ingredients rather than measure them.
This would help me so much….I really need to start weighing my food, and since my husband was diagnosed with cancer – we both are trying to eat more healthy. This would be a smart buy for me in the future.
I have always wanted one of these. Would come in so handy when baking!
The Eat Smart Scale would be very helpful with my weight loss goals and it looks like it would be perfect on my kitchen counter.
This would help me so much with me trying to lose weight!! I am having a really hard time!!
I am on a special diet that requires me to measure the weight of my foods. This looks like an excellent tool that I could use!
Great idea. I would use the scale all the time. I will have to look into getting one.
Looks like a nice one
I have been trying to do portion control to lose weight since I am unable to exercise. I don’t have much more to lose, but I have stalled for some reason. I always try to look at examples of a good portion online and that is such a pain trying to find that for each meal. I really like this scale! I think it would help me do better than trying to eyeball portions. Thank you so much for your review!
I would love this to help my family to eat healthier and a more balanced meal and it looks easy to use.
this scale looks awesome. I think it might be small enough to be sotred away in a cabinet or drawer when not using it? Either way… it looks easy to use to help with a more healthy way of life.
I like the size of this scale.Would be easy to use.
I could use one of these. I like that it seems small enough to be stored out of the way and the tare feature is nice,
Great idea. I never know what The portions are for each food item.A scale is vey handy
this is awesome this would help so much with trying to control weight for my family my kids aren’t overweight either but learning now while they are teenagers may help them later
I am on the lookout for a scale and I am loving the design. Thanks for reviewing!
Wow this scale would help make dieting just a little less complicated
thi scale will drive my husband crazy if I weigh everything that I eat!
I have a scale, but I love this one. The size is perfect to weigh using a plate instead of weighing in a bowel then pouring it on to the plate to serve.
How handy! It would also be so useful for measuring correct weights when baking.
I really like these scales, I have been wanting one for several months now. They have kitchen scales all they way to bathroom . I believe from the reviews I have seen that they would be of good quality as well.
this would be perfect for those smoothies i love to make!
This is truly a must have.
Portions are such a key to loosing weight!My Husband and I would love this scale it would be used a lot!It looks easy to use too!
I would love to use this scale. The ones I’ve used in the past are so inaccurate. I like that it has a 3 min auto off and that it has the 4 measurement modes: Grams / Ounces / Kilograms / Pounds.
I need this scale it would show everyone that they are eating more than they think they are.
Having a kitchen scale sure puts things in shocking perspective! I have a Weight Watcher’s scale and the portion sizes was an eye-opening lesson for me!
I quit smoking, Dec. 31, and I have been gaining weight something awful. I just started a *diet* yesterday, and this would be great to help. I just keep getting bigger, and I cant let that happen. This scale looks really nice, and Im sure it is an excellent product.
I love how it looks so easy to use and is so clean. This would be great for preparing meals in the kitchen as well as being more mindful about how much food you’re eating!
Looks absolutely awesome!
Would love this scale for our RV. Then I could leave one at home and have one on the go.

this is definitely a product I would use
This scale is Smart and hopefully would help me to eat smarter as well.I would love to have it.
Kitchen scales are so important for cooking! I really like this one. Looks very useful
I could really use one of these, maybe it would me be more conscious about what I eat and how much.
i’ve been thinking about getting a food scale for quite a while, but i can’t really justify spending the money or using up the counter/cabinet space for one… as i’m sure the only time i would use it is when i buy family packages of ground beef and need to separate into 1-lb baggies to freeze or refrigerate. 🙂
My mom just started weight watchers.. What a great Mother’s Day gift this would be for her
love these ideas. just what i need to jump start my diet
this would be a great addition to my kitchen
A great way to watch what your eating and portion control is always a task in my house. I wish I could loose more weight and have my husband gain more weight. A great review Thanks.
This would be great, because I would love to be able to calculate the calories in foods. This scale is also very attractive.
I have always found that the key to losing weight is weighing all your food! Digi scales are crucial!!
I like that this scale is compact since I have limited counter space, also that its lightweight so would be easy to pick up and move if needed. Its awesome that it subtracts the weight of the bowls that would hold the food being weighed! And its nice that its operated by two buttons and that the platform is made out of stainless steel.
ive never tried the scale, i usually just count out the servings or measure.
this would be nice to have when u r trying to loss wait but waying ur food.
I’ve recently tried to cook using a scale. This is interesting since most of my cooking is a pinch of this and a handful of that.
This is great for portion control and also to weigh out foods to freeze separately. Would love to have this, thanks for the great review.
This is a definite plus, especially since I want to learn how to portion my meals correctly. Thanks for the review. =)
I have a scale in my kitchen but this one looks like the platform you put the plate on is larger than most.
I want one of these scales so badly. I can think of so many ways we could use it, especially since we don’t ever eat out anywhere.
this would be so helpful for me
Awesome!
clever idea and design for weight!
What a wonderful scale to help you eat the appropriate serving, as a 44 year old now I look back growing up and wished I would have learned from a child on healthy eating, I think my life would have been different.
Great idea extra help on my weight lose im working on
Weight Watcher’s scale
nice way to help tighten up the calorie count.
I’ve had this scale on my wish list for a while. I’m not interested in using it for portion control or calorie counting, but to use when baking for measuring flour and other ingredients and when canning, to make sure I’m using the right amount of fruit. Thanks for this review.
I really need one of these! I tend to always serve larger portions than my family probably needs.
Very helpful for singlemoms like me.. =)
This would be great to have to use better control over portion size;thanks for review.
I’ve been looking for a good quality digital food scale. Thanks
These are very clever and a must need in my kitchen!!
My wife would love this. She been hounding me on how we need to lose weight an this would most likely help alot
This is amazing and work wonders in my kitchen 😉 love it!
It would be great to have a scale like this. Thanks
I like how easy it is to use. Addiction can be a GOOD thing.
Food scales sure have come a long way from the cheapie plastic one I have
i love everything about these scales!!! you did an awesome review it makes me want some!!!
nice scale would be great in my kitchen
This scale sounds like a must have product for all kitchens!!
I love everything that’s compact. Since I’m always on the go, I need things to be slim and lightweight. Since I haven’t chosen and decided which digital scale to choose, I think I’m including this in my list of must-haves.
