EatSmart Precision Pro Kitchen Scale Review and Giveaway (Christmas Wish List 2010)

As some if not most of you all know I’m currently watching everything I eat and I’m working on loosing the last bit of weight before my husband and I start trying to add a new family member to our family and to be honest sometimes when I’m cooking and fixing my dinner plate it is sometimes hard to get the right portions to keep up with my diet so when I was asked to do a review on the EatSmart Precision Pro Kitchen Scale, I didn’t hesitate to say yes!

My Thoughts:

I was sent the EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale in black chrome (to go with the rest of my kitchen décor) to review and I will be completely honest here I’ve never used a kitchen scale ever before my EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale arrived and I was quite excited to be able to try it out, because I had been considering purchasing a kitchen scale for some time since my husband and I are both trying to manage our weight.

Once my EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale arrive, very quickly I might add, I immediately washed it up and put it in it’s new home next to the cook stove in my kitchen and we started using it immediately, now before getting my scale I did count calories on the side of the boxes of things I ate such as cereal, crackers and animal crackers (yeah, I eat a lot of those lol), but what about all those other items that didn’t come with boxes and/or have their calorie content on them somewhere like fruits and veggies??? Yep, I know they are good for you but I still like to be able to record the amount of calories I take in on a daily basis to help with my weight loss and with the help of my EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale it’s made my job of counting calories of things that don’t come with that information on the box so much easier and helps me stick to my restricted calorie diet, with the help of the Calorie Factor Booklet that came along with the scale!

Using the EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale is super simple all you have to do right out of the box is give it a quick cleaning pop in the AAA batteries that are already provided and it’s ready to go!! I’m loving that using the unit button you can select between 4 different measurements (grams, ounces, kilogram or pounds) so no matter what task you are tackling the options are always available.

Since having the EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale on hand in my kitchen over the last couple of weeks I have found so many uses for it and it’s helped me keep better track of all the calories that I’ve been taking in daily and has really helped me see why and where I was having problems losing weight were. I also love the fact that after 3 minuets of the scale not being used it turns itself off, because to be honest when I’m cooking I sometimes forget to do those little things and now I don’t have to worry about saving the battery life of my EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale!

Bottom Line:

I love the EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale and I’m really looking forward to using it for my cooking this Christmas, and since my homemade cookies and other sweets don’t have the calories written on them I can use the scale to help me estimate the calories before I over indulge myself only to regret it later. I don’t think I could have found a scale that was easier and more convent to use, since it doesn’t have to be plugged in I can use it in any part of my kitchen while cooking to make sure I have just the right amount of product without having to pick up and move my whole workspace.

If you know someone who loves to cook or maybe currently counting calories I would really recommend the EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale this holiday season. Since seeing mine my mother-in-law has been hinting that she would like one for Christmas and since they are so affordable at only $25 I think that she will be quite happy to find it under the tree this year!
