Best food scale for tracking protein on a GLP-1

Quick answer

Hitting a precise protein target means weighing your food rather than guessing, and the Etekcity Digital Kitchen Food Scale is the most-reviewed kitchen scale on Amazon for under 15 dollars. On a GLP-1, where portions are small, the gap between what you think you ate and what you actually ate is wide, and a scale closes it. Weighing for even a week recalibrates your eye: you learn that the chicken breast you called 30 grams of protein was really 18, and you adjust. The Etekcity reads in grams and ounces to the gram, is compact and easy to clean, and runs on included AAA batteries. It has no app or bluetooth, which keeps it simple and reliable. For anyone serious about actually reaching their daily protein number, it is the cheapest, highest-leverage tool you can own.
