HEALTHY STEPS NUT BOWL AND SCOOP

£4.29, amazon.co.uk

THIS clear plastic container measures one or two 1oz (28g) portions of nuts. The lid doubles as a one- portion scoop.

EXPERT VERDICT: In moderation, nuts are good for heart health and weight control. But with around 600 calories per 100g, you do need to stick to the 25 to 30g daily portion size this gadget measures.

It’s a perfectly functional item, but you can save money by just using your hand to measure. One fistful of nuts is the right amount. Beware of eating nuts direct from the bag — it’s too easy to misjudge a portion. 4/10
