Perfect Portions, made easy!


Clean your plate. Many people have heard this phrase since they were a child but it can be counteractive if the portions on your plate are too large.

The Perfect Portions Scale can help you decide your portion sizes and make smarter dietary choices. The Food Scale + Nutrition Facts weighs food and then uses the standard USDA Nutrition Facts label to display its nutrition information in a familiar format. The scale then adjusts the Nutrition Facts to your actual portion size-often with surprising results! For example, many of us eat far more than a ‘single serving’ of cereal in the morning, consuming 500-600 calories rather than the 110-160 calories indicated on the side of the box.

The Food scale can help you decide portion sizes from snacks to meals. The scale has a TOTAL function that allows you to easily keep track of nutritional information for a meal or an entire day while ensuring that your portion sizes are the best for your dietary needs and goal.




































The Perfect Portions Scale helps you determine the portion size that is right for you. Buy your scale today and learn the information you need to better understand nutrition and portion control.

I was so excited to get a food scale because I have never used one and really think that it could change the way that I view my portions. Once I get this scale, expect to see some recipes with added weight for all you food weighers. Now, dont get me wrong. I am not going to be obsessed about weighing everything but I am sure that it will go to goo use and that I will be putting product labels to the test, for sure! Let's see how this baby works!

The Perfect Portions Food Scale + Nutrition Facts is a scale and nutritional calculator in one. It is the most intuitive, easy-to-read nutritional scale on the market because it integrates the familiar Nutrition Label.

Unlike other nutritional scales, the Perfect Portions Scale breaks down the information into % daily value, tracks your daily total, and even allows you to customize the scale by entering your own foods.

The scale is designed with a stylish glass-top surface and touchpad keys to integrate the platform, display, and keys into one clean surface.
