Here’s your chance to win a digital kitchen scale
In many other countries ingredients used in cooking and baking are weighed because 50 grams of all-purpose flour is always 50 grams of flour.
However, depending on how you measure it in a measuring cup, what you think is 1/2 cup flour one is actually 1/2 cup minus a tablespoon on the day you’re in a hurry and 1/2 cup plus one tablespoon on the day you didn’t level off your measuring cup with a knife blade. These subtleties can adversely effect baking results.
You wouldn’t want to incorrectly measure the flour on a batch of cookies and mess those up. The horrors.
There’s also the issue of portion sizes and weighing food and many people find scales helpful for that.
Also included in this giveaway is a free email consultation with a nutritionist on the SlimKicker team.

The ten wall squats a day challenge looks like something I should start doing!
I would LOVE a food scale. I think it would give my baking the edge it needs (sometimes I’m lazy and scoop my flour, etc.) and it would also provide a great reality check in terms of portions, etc.
thanks for the awesome giveaway!

I don’t use a food scale, but I always think I should, especially when my baking projects turn into baking disasters!
SlimKicker looks so motivating! I’d love to try the Challenge to Plan 1 Meal for Tomorrow. marthalynn16 [at] gmail [dot] com
OOOh, thanks for the chance! I actually started using slimkicker as a beta tester, but I had started weight watchers at the same time and it was just too much to do. I already do entirely too many social media things ( as you can tell by my pinterest use and blog comments! ) so I kind of quit using it.
The challenge I really liked was to not eat snacks after dinner. I reallllllllly need to do that. :)
Thanks again!

I bake GFree so I LOVE using a scale for more precise flour measurements! The one I currently use is super jankety, so I would love the chance to win a new one. Thanks Avery!
I have always wanted a digital scale to get a better idea of what amounts I am eating.
I would so love to do slimkicker ! What a great fitness + food tool. I have always wanted a food scale…. getting one would be fabulous !
This sounds like a great motivator! I’ve been interested in speaking with a nutritionist and learning more about nutrition in general. Thanks for the generous giveaway!
I used to have a little cheap-o ghetto kitchen scale with a cup on a balance-type thing but the cup wouldn’t stay on the scale and the scale wouldn’t stay true-to-weight, so I chunked it. I would use it for baking since I am rekindling a love of bread-baking!
I would LOVE to have a scale to use in the kitchen. My sis has one and we share kitchen stories so I would love to be able to say “Yeah I have one too!” She uses it for everything. SLIMKICKER also AMAZING!!!!!!! People are just brilliant sometimes. This sounds perfect for me ;)
