Food scale

[wyndy1 8]

Does anyone know of a small food scale that is portable enough to fit in a purse and take to a restaurant? If so, where did you get it?

Mine is in the kitchen drawer after three years. Uncomplicate your life.

A foood scale is important at home and let's not forget the measuring cups and spoons. Being civilized is also important, perhaps moreso in public. You don't have to do your weight-loss thing in a way that will make you feel imprisoned or foolish.

Most of the slides in the link pertain to weight-loss surgery folk and will be a good guide for determining portions. Some are excellent for the objects that approximate specific serving sizes. There are other sources of similar info, too.

Vigilance is good especially early in the WLS process when people do most of the learning. Overdoing it tends to make people unhappy. There is a happy middle ground.

Just my opinion. Do what makes sense to you.

Your eyes should be the scale. Use your judgement and communicate with your body. I borrowed my friend's scale for three days and tossed away. Too much work after I figured what four ounces looked like in a plate.

Starting out the food scale is very important to me. I can't eye 150-200ml of food so I use my scale. I don't have one small enough to put in my purse but I'm on puréed foods at the moment. Once I'm on soft foods or solids then hopefully I will be able to put the scale away and use my eye.
