They say that fat loss begins in the kitchen. If you are one of the chosen few to have learned this – whether taught or learned by accident – then the kitchen food scale is one of your most trusted weapons in your arsenal for taking the offensive against excess body fat. Still, every time you measure out your 4 ounces of baked chicken breast or 6 ounces of sweet potato, that scale should be wiped down. Or does it? Now, I’m not at all suggesting that you add half an ounce of salmonella to your meal along with an ER visit. What I mean is, if you lay down a piece of foil on the scale, then the weight of the food that you are measuring remains practically the same and all you have to do for cleanup is toss out the foil. Every day I pull about 4 inches from the roll and tear that off, so it’s a 12″x4″ sheet. Then I tear that up by hand into several 4″ strips. The first time you will end up with a piece of foil shaped like Italy, but after you do it a couple of times, you’ll be a master of foil tearing. Seriously, having these little foil strips in the cupboard saves me a lot of annoying clean up time during the day and makes using the food scale far less cumbersome. I hope you find it useful too!
