Product Reviews for Athletes
Product Review: Escoli Arti Glass Kitchen Scale
Because I am a sports dietitian I am frequently using a kitchen scale for different reasons. Sometimes I need to develop a precise recipe and need those perfect measurements. Often I need to check quantities of foods I am recommending an athlete eat if they want to gain muscle mass or trim body fat. Other times I am on-the-go with my scale and running sweat rate tests to determine an athlete’s sweat losses during a practice or a game. In this case the kitchen scale is used to weigh the food and beverages the athletes consume during the active (sweating) time and this weight is factored into the calculations in order to determine a more precise sweat loss.
What I love about the Escoli Arti Glass Kitchen Scale
Over the years I have tried different kitchen scales and this one has been my favorite. Here is why:
- It works well, which is what really matters
- It is slim and fits in my work bag or a kitchen drawer
- The controls and surface are easy to keep clean
- It comes in fun colors!
Tip!
When you are baking, a kitchen scale can be an easy way to combine all your ingredients without getting out any measuring cups. All you need to do is weigh 1 ingredient in the bowl then “tare” the scale so it zero’s again and is ready to measure your next ingredient.
Warning!
I never recommend weighing all your food all the time. First, it promotes an unhealthy relationship with food, and second, you could end up with a lot of inaccurate information. Cooked food especially can have misleading weights. For instance, a 70g cooked chicken breast that is juicy may be more water weight than a 70g chicken breast that is tough and dry.
