Wanted to know where or what brand is the best food scale apparently Im late with my purchase as I'd read the food scale Topics :) I want to buy one that breaks down the nutrition of almost any foods (decent in price of course) chime in and let me know.

    Perfect Portions from Bed Bath and Beyond, I think it was around $40, and we LOVE it. You can program your own favorite foods into it, or use the code book with hundreds of foods already programed in.

    "Kitrics" is the brand that makes the scale that I have.

    I don't remember the last time I used the nutrition function though, lol
  • you said you don't use yours? If not I'm trying to be as economically smart as possible (can I have yours? :) ) I'll be sure to put it to good use...
  • congrats on your weight loss, thanks for the advice!!

    This is my baby:

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT7QsqwBq4Q2cm67HSyzMtC_XW8cYWJk1cQ3ybgnlj-l1HjCgRoQQ

    $22 and it calculates the nutritional value of 999 different foods (breaks down calories, fat, fiber, sodium, etc). Handy tare function, and uses an easy-to-replace 9v battery. Glass top for easy clean up.

    I use mine every day. It's been essential in making sure my portions are normal and I get the right amount of nutrients

    If you get a digital scale, make sure to never store it near a microwave. The current screws around with the internals

    Honest question (not trolling) - If you're weighing the food to enter into MFP, which already provides all of the nutrient breakdowns, why do you need a scale that does the nutrient breakdown?
