A food scale that measures nutrition along with weight!

Saw this on my feed.
What ever food you put up there, it shows the weight along with the macro/micronutrients

Oh I can’t wait to read the review for this one …..

@ninerbuff, she was talking about YOUR review. Has it been delivered, and have you had a chance to give it a test run yet?

Okay so I've used it for like 3 days now measuring different things just to see how it compensates. For instance I took a protein bar and weighed by itself and it was exactly what the packaging states. But to mix it up, I broke the bar up into 5 pieces putting one piece on one at a time. Each time it gave me it's weight and the corresponding nutritional info! Once I put all the pieces back on the scale, it read as it did if it were whole. So impressed.
The scale itself is a "stainless steel" cover so it's easy to wipe off and clean. The thing is without your phone, it can't calculate anything because it needs the input of what type of food or drink it is you're measuring.

But for $23 dollars and trying to measure things like invidual pieces of popcorn, nuts, spaghetti, etc., it does a great job!

So you have to find and enter the food on your phone first and then it Bluetooth’s the data?

Yes. However for say something like a banana, the nutrition is standard. Where it gets tricky is when you make your own food and have to individually put in things. Say for instance I make chicken adobo. I have to put in each ingredient. But like MFP, once you make your recipe, then you can save it and then all you have to do is weigh it.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting.

I only wanted to eat 400 calories of Robber's Roost pizza from Mountain Mike's, so I put in info and measured out the slice. Needless to say it wasn't a huge slice.

I too bought one and love it! Now, how can we get etekcity and MFP to integrate with each other and allow me to select items in etekcity (VESync) and send them to MFP. Or has someone already figured that out???
