Do I need a food scale for dieting?

[gonelifting]

Day 2 of CKD and I love it. I`ve been reading about weighing food, Should I get a scale? Does anyone know what kind? brand? If so I prefer a digital one of high quality thanks.

I`m getting by without one so far because I`m reading labels and dividing portions that way, but in 2 days I have`nt gotten to eating chicken or other stuff that needs weighing I guess.

I didn't think I needed a food scale until I got one. Now I can't see how I got along without it. It's just so much nicer to KNOW that you have 10 oz of chicken exactly instead of guessing. Sometimes you can be off a couple of ounces, which can be a hundred calories or so.

Buy an electronic one with high precision

it is not that expensive

Probably at any Walmart or the like. They're not a requirement for a good diet, but they sure do help, especially when cutting where portion sizes become particularly important.

Yes, you need a scale...GET ANY food scale, the cheaper the better, you do NOT need to measure out to the .0000000001 decimal lol .
