I just started eating healthier and thought it would be helpful to have a food scale. Can you recommend one for me? The one I have is a very cheap one and it won't weigh ounces very well. For instance ounces of lean turkey will not move the needle.
We have used a variety of scales over the years and have settled on a digital scale. They are now relatively inexpensive (a good one used to cost hundreds of dollars) and are accurate to the gram. The scale we use presently was under $25.00 at Amazon and is made by Salter.
It has a button to switch from ounces to grams is on the face of the control panel (rather than on the underside) and the broad base makes the scale stable when I put a larger bowl on top.
That said, there are tremendous values to be found.
Thanks for writing.
