Pocket Food Scale



Recommended Posts

I travel a lot for work and struggle when I'm out with exactly how big 1 ounce is etc. Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice pocket food scale I could keep in my purse?

Thanks!

No but what a great idea!! Have you seen the charts that help you compare parts of your hand to ounces? For example, end of your thumb is a teaspoon. Your whole thumb a tablespoon. Palm is 3 oz of meat, etc.? Far from perfect but it does help a little visually when you cannot actually measure.

Yes, I know, but one place I really struggle is sashimi, not all sashimi is not created equal. It can be cut thin or thick, just depends on the restaurant. I'm still in my beginning steps and struggle when I don't have my handy scale with me :)

On Amazon I typed pocket scale and some showed up that are less than 10.00. I ordered one (for sashimi too) and will let u know if it s accurate when I get it!

You have to weight stuff, you can't eye ball it and be accurate. I have that one and it works for me when I am away from home.

Ok my pocket scale got here. Compared to my home scale it only weighs 0.01 ounces higher. I tried 7 items.

On Amazon I got for 7 or so dollars and free 2 day delivery if u have prime. I used it for sashimi tonight and realized I was over estimating the weight.

Yes I was wondering that too! How are you weighing your food at a restaurant?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
