Mother’s Day Gift Guide Idea #1
I was sent the EatSmart Precision Elite Digital Kitchen Scale – 15 lb. Capacity, UltraBright Display and Stainless Steel Platform for review and to consider adding it to my Mother’s Day Gift Guide this year. Of course I’m adding it!
Here is why:
A few years back I was sent a smaller version of the EatSmart Kitchen scale and I fell in love with it. Then I put it away and didn’t use it as much. Last year I began an exercise and diet program and I was required to weigh my food. I had no idea what an actual portion size was let alone how to guess 4 ounces of this and 6 ounces of that. My EatSmart scale made my life so much easier. I measured everything. I would make meals for the week and place them in containers. I measured it all down to the last piece of spinach. I lost 6 pounds and have kept it off. One of the pieces of equipment that I give credit to for keeping the weight off is my EatSmart Precision Elite Digital Kitchen Scale. I was able to truly learn what a portion size looks like even if a scale isn’t available. The smaller scale that I owned was great to start off my journey, but this larger version is perfect. A large plate can sit on it comfortably and you can see the numbers on the scale. That was something I struggled with on the smaller scale.
The Precision Elite features an extra-large backlit LCD screen, stainless steel platform and comes with a FREE Calorie Factors Book that can help you learn portion control. The scale has 4 units of measurement: grams, kilograms, ounces, and pounds. The Tare feature eliminates the weight of the plate. There is also a 3 minute auto shutoff to help save battery life while you are preparing your meals. ( Plus the batteries are included!)
Why do I think this would make a great gift?
When I was a new mom my husband bought me hand weights in different sizes for Mother’s Day. I loved it because I had expressed to him that I wanted to start exercising and I knew he really heard what I was saying. If you have a mom in your life that is looking to lead a healthier lifestyle or is on a diet this would make a wonderful addition to her kitchen. I know I would have love one!

You are so right about misjudging portion size. A scale like this really keeps you honest.
