March is National Nutrition Month created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. With this year’s theme “Savor the Flavor of Eating Right,” we are going to break down what exactly “eating right” looks like.

Eating right or eating smart follows a few basic tenets:

1. Cook more of your own food
2. Cut back on unhealthy choices and substitute with a healthy alternative
3. Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains
4. Eat a variety of foods from the different food groups
5. Not all calories are built equally (300 calories of chips versus 300 calories of avocado are very different nutritionally!)
6. Know what a portion size looks like (Here’s where we come in!)

Over the last decade, American portion sizes have drastically increased in size and knowing what a portion is can be a bit of a mystery.

Weighing your food with our Precision Elite Digital Kitchen Scale in conjunction with our handy calorie factor booklet (included with your Kitchen Scale) will set you on the right path to eating right. Simply turn the scale on, place your food onto the scale, and look up the correct portion size in the calorie factor booklet. And to EXTRA get you ready for National Nutrition Month, we’re giving away FOUR of our Precision Elite Digital Kitchen Scales on Instagram every Friday this month! Want to win one? OF COURSE YOU DO!
