Digital Food Scale Recommendations?

mminer74

Hello friends! I am interested in getting a new food scale - ideally a digital one that has built-in nutrition facts - so I can weigh watermelon and it tells me the weight but also the number of calories for example. Any favorites/recommendations? Thanks!

Here's my go to for calories:

I look up the food, get the syntax, and plug it in to MFP.

For scales, I am NOT recommending the newer version of OXO Good Grips 11 Pound Stainless Steel Food Scale with Pull-Out Display, which is a battery hog and has a hard time with 1-4 grams, as well as another annoyances:

Based on these threads, I would get an Ozeri:

Its just a 'regular' food scale but here is one I bought a few months ago. $22.99 but Amazon currently has a 10% off coupon.

It has a max capacity of 33 pounds instead of 11 pounds. This makes it able to handle even my heaviest pot and casserole dish. So I can put a finished dish on the scale, get the total weight, and subtract out the weight of the dish.

And in additon to regular batteries, there is a USB charge option. So if you're in the middle of making dinner and the low battery signal comes on: don't panic. No need to look for batteries - just plug it in. It can be used while charging.

Yeah, my Ozeri one is still going after 12 years. I think I paid $15 on amazon.

I don't believe there is a scale that has the foods in it already...that would be good. If you invent one, please have it sync to my grocery list on my phone while you're at it.
