    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.

    Looks like a gimmick. Don't waste your money.

    Edit: The reason why I say this is you don't know how accurate any of it really is. But who knows...

    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.

    When you go to the web page look on the right hand side of the picture. It says "Instantly tells you not just a food's weight but its nutritional values as well: carbohydrates, fat, protein, salt, cholesterol, calories and more".

    I dont know though. I think I am going to pass. If anyone buys it let me know how it is. Thanks.

    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.

    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.
