Eat Smart Digital Nutrition Food Scale with Professional Food and Nutrient Calculator

I have owned diet scales before but never one that calculates a food's calories at the same time. First and foremost I wanted a scale that was very accurate. Because this one was recommended by well-known weight control programs, I assumed it had to be very accurate and of good quality. And it is. Honestly, prior to receiving the scale, I wasn't sure if the "food counting" aspect would be useful or just an extra feature I would ignore. Now, I don't use my computer diet tracking or calorie counting books at all. I only use this scale. It is by far the best one I've ever owned. I eat a lot of whole foods so this scale is ideal for my diet. It is sooo much faster and easier than either using a calorie book, or the computer diet programs where you keep a computerized food log and have to look up each food, then type in the amount you have measured to get the calories and nutrition info. It is intuitive and super quick to use the code book and measure the food. It is also really helpful to see in real time how many calories a portion is just by placing it on the scale- allowing you to quickly add and subtract amounts of food to get the number of calories you want. (I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right, but you will know what I mean when you use the scale.) It definately beats trying to do it in reverse by measuring the food then looking up the calories. I never thought a scale would inspire me to stick to my diet, but this one has. I actually look forward to measuring my meals with it! Not only has really helped me meet my daily calorie goals, but using the scale has made my diet choices more flexible. And I'm learning alot about the nutrition and portion sizes of the food choices I make. I have not used the more advanced features like entering custom foods or the "additive" feature- it's just faster and easier to me to weigh each food separately then add the calories up myself. (One note- there is a very slight delay when you add an additional amount of food before the calories "update" to the new total- so be sure to give it a second to register before removing your portion from the scale to get accurate counts.) In conclusion, I absolutely love this scale and can't recommend it enough to any one who wants an easy to use, very accurate, and even inspiring way to keep track of your diet.

I have had this scale for approximately 6 months, and it has been a Godsend. I am a Type 1 diabetic and practice portion control thru carbohydrate (CHO) counting. It has made it so much easier, and accurate than using a measuring cup for my cereal in the morning, and for counting things that I would otherwise have guessed on, such as pretzels. My partner and I even use it when we buy a bulk meat or other foods, and need to divide it into even portions for zipper bags to freeze for later use. It has so many uses, that I even use it to weigh my letters, so I can print my postage at home on the USPS Website, and not even stand in line or fill out forms at the Post Office. You don't even need special labels, you just print on paper and tape it on, putting clear tape on everything except the BARCODE Although if you are going to be using it for this a lot, I would recommend you get the half page Avery labels meant for shipping this way. Also, if you have heavy items, I suggest you get a dedicated postal scale. But for large envelopes and small boxes, it is a FANTASTIC convenience item. Furthermore, I recently had an incident where the scale failed for no apparent reason. I tried replacing the batteries, and doing everything to reset it, but nothing worked. The electronics must just have given out. However, the scale has a long warranty (2 years, "bumper-to-bumper"), so I emailed the manufacturer, and the owner himself, Bill, emailed me and told me not to worry about even sending back the faulty scale, he would get a new scale out to me forthwith. He sent one promptly via FEDEX! You cannot ask for better customer support than that! I do not know if he can do this for everyone, but his customer support via email has been superb, and he backs his product 100%. I investigated many scales when I was searching, including the Salters, because I wanted the ability to store foods for later calculation of CHO, so I did not have to enter the CHO/OZ or GM every time. However, the scales that perform this function are only capable of calculating 1 serving at a time. With the EatSmart scale, you just put your container on the scale, press TARE (to zero it out), throw on a handful of pretzels (Can you tell that I like them?), input the CHO/g or oz. and get the CHO amount. With the Eatsmart scale, you can do this, but NOT with ANY other, and believe me, I researched the heck out of them! The only thing I wish that the EatSmart would do is store food CHO/serving size (OZ or GM) for foods you commonly measure, so that you could recall it later without having to enter it every time you put a food on the scale. By the way, for measuring serving sizes, if you have the GM and OZ serving size, use the GMs, it is more accurate. You can view some video demos of the scale by going to eatsmartproducts dot com / demo dot php [Replace the "dots" with . and remove the spaces.] For what it's worth, I don't even try to use the scale to calculate my CHO. I just use a calculator and put as much food as I want on the scale, divide the grams on the scale (say 326g) by the serving grams (56g) to get a serving number, e.g., 5.8 servings, and then multiply that by the CHO per serving (23g) to get my total CHO amount (~134g CHO) for insulin dosing. (Although the scale does these calculations for you if you enter the serving data, I have not yet learned how, so I stick to my "old" ways.) [Also, as an aside, these numbers are just for demonstration purposes only. I would never eat that many carbs at one sitting!] It is a beautiful scale, just the right size to fit on your countertop, above the microwave, or even a drawer. If you want it to sit out though, it looks great! I cannot say enough good things about this scale. I hope this helps you choose your nutritional scale. Happy hunting!

I was nervous about ordering because it seems to be a few years old, but this is the best food scale I've ever had. Very accurate and easy to use. I really like all the pre-programmed foods and have been loving tracking my macros. I like the glass top, too it looks nice with my other appliances and it's easy to clean.

It came just as it said the next day. The packaging was neat and secure. I had it mailed from USA to Mexico and it came here with nothing broken. I have been using the scale everyday to weigh my food to maintain my daily portions. The scale is very accurate and in my opinion it looks great in my kitchen. Honestly for the price it is fantastic. It comes with two books, one with codes so you know what to plug in for each food. Also another one that gives tips about healthy eating. I would recommend based off my positive experience.

la recomiendo es una excellent opción y muy economical

this is a very good quality product the only thing I'll mention is that the preconfigured products are mostly values according US organizations, it surely give a good estimation, but products might be differently made in Canada or other country
