im not sure how accurate it is as I have never seen one before. Has anyone ever used one of these? It is supposed to track the nutritional value of the foods we eat. Just curious.

I bet you it's fairly accurate. 900 different foods...I don't really know if this is a lot. I think a simple kitchen scale with a calculator would be cheaper and just as useful, but a little more work.
Thats kinda cool... not too expensive. Wonder if it keeps a log of protein and fats as well as carbs?
That is what I was assuming as well. thanks.Quote:

The scale has a built in database. You have to enter the code for each food you're weighing, IE. 670 for roasted chicken breast (with bone and skin). The scale then calculates the grams of protein, fat, carbs, etc. based on its database and the weight of the food.
would any of you use this scale?
personally to enter a code for every food i would find it annoying...you can always buy a digital scale for 20 bucks and then use www.fitday to count your calories for free for your whole day instead of just one food item.
