It looks like it's been a few years since this question was asked, so I'm wondering, do any smart food scales integrate with myfittnesspal?

Such as:

or
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HLZV4H9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

I recently indulged in a Renpho smart body scale, and I am loving how my weight pops into myfittnesspal, but food seems far more complicated. Like how would the databases of each app match up?

    The first problem is: how would the scale know what's on it? There's no way of doing that. And yeah, then finding the right database entry will be as problematic as the barcode scanner: you might get the right product, outdated nutritional info on the right product, or something completely different.

    I assume, like entering the weight/serving/volume of food the way we do now, you would select the food, then weigh it, click a button and that weight would populate the serving size. Then you would check done, or at least that's how the Renpho app works.
