Need an awesome food scale, does it exist?

ariant23 · May 2012

Hey everyone. I have an awesome scale that I want. I dont know if it exists. Here's how it works

All the parts of a good scale: tare, g/oz, digital read out

*AND*

you have the option to enter in the serving size (and the calories per serving if you want), and it will display number of servings and total calories. I am well aware of my ability to do this by hand w/ a calculator (or some mental math depending on the numbers involved).

But since MFP does "servings" of "x", it would be really nice to put "X" into the scale....

Does anyone out there have something like this? Or am I just dreaming?

I have a very nice scale that has what you listed for a good scale, but it does not do calorie calculations. I know what I put on the scale but I let mfp do the "heavy" calculations for me. My scale set me back $24.

chachadiva150 or MoreThanMommie, do either of you own the scales in question?

if so, how useful is the "database"? does it agree with labels on packaging? how hard is it to input a new food. is it mostly prepared foods in the database, or is it raw ingredients?

thanks :-)

I don't think it does calorie calculations, but it does do ounces and grams. I love it.
