 Wobbly! March 16, 2010
mkayreagan (Florida, USA)
I'm very disappointed in this scale. The positive is it has a lot of great features and is beautiful to look at. But it wouldn't sit flat on any level counter surface in my house! So after adding food, the weight reading jumps up and down without even touching the scale. For this amount of money, I shouldn't have to shim it to get it level. Also, the digital screen is somewhat hard to read. Not enough contrast. But I could live with that if the weighing was accurate. Sending it back today.
 Great nutrition tool! March 2, 2010
Jenn (WA United States)
I was told by my doctor to measure and log my food. I bought a big book with the nutritional values for food and began logging what I ate. For each food I had to look it up in the book, estimate the portion size, grab the calculator, and figure how many carbs, fat, etc., was in the food. I found this process very time consuming and felt like giving up.
Then I bought the EatSmart scale. Now I can measure all the foods I eat in a lot less time! My favorite feature is being able to 'build a meal'. Here are the exact steps for building a meal: put your dinner plate on the scale (press tare which returns scale to zero), put baked sockeye salmon on pate (press 583 which is the code for baked sockeye salmon, press M+ for memory, press tare), put boiled string beans on plate (press 200, press M+, press tare), put baked red potato on plate (press 178, press M+, press tare), put salted butter on potato (press 661, press M+), (press MR/MC to see the total nutritional values of the foods on the plate), (Press MC to clear memory and return the scale to normal mode).
That might seem like a lot of key presses, but it pales in comparison to finding each food in a book, guessing how much it weighs or even weighing it on a scale, calculating each food, writing down each food then calculating it yourself.
I do wish the scale had more memory so there would be more codes and thereby a more comprehensive list of foods that are pre-programmed into the scale.
Thanks to the ease of using this scale I will continue to log my foods and hopefully avoid Type II diabetes.
A Wake up Call February 27, 2010
R. Hall (USA)
After many years of trying all kinds of micronutrient-specific diets without too much success (read low-fat first, low-carb later), I decided to simplify and start controlling my overall food intake.I bought a food journal where I record my daily intake. It became obvious that I need a good food scale to measure my portions. It is human to underestimate the amounts of food you consume and I had an inkling I was subconsciously "cheating".
I did read the reviews here and they were extremely helpful. I ordered, and the scale arrived very quickly. It even had the 4 AAA batteries included, which is rare when you buy any kind of electronics. It is cute and stays out on my counter. The glass top is easy to wipe down. It has all the features I need, such as measure nutritional value, the tare feature, the serv feature for measuring the value of prepackaged foods, etc. Can't say enough about the convenience of having the list of 999 foods pre-programmed in the scale. Easy to input, fast to see how many calories, fat, and many other other micro nutrients you are consuming.
Unlike some other customers who thought the display is hard to see, I see it perfectly. Also, please do not complain that the scale cannot measure the nutritional value of any and every food you put on it. It is a scale, not a magic scale. It cannot possibly know exactly how much of what you put in the food while you were cooking, you'll need a lab for that.
Having this scale has been a huge wake up call for me. As I suspected, I was eating much more than I thought I was. My serving was sometimes 2-3 times larger than the intended serving. I have seriously cut down on overeating and mainly thanks to the scale have lost about 6 lbs in the last month without being hungry. I am just choosing better foods and staying within my daily caloric limit.
I would highly recommend it as a prudent investment in your health. Do you pay a reasonable amount now, or do you pay later, many times over, at the doctor's office?
Great product for those who want to be Healthy February 16, 2010
Joy (OH)
Great Product for those who want to turn their lives around and eat healthy. Not to mention it is a fantastic measuring tool for cooking as well. Managing your nutritional intake and portion control is a snap with this product. I'm able to cook, measure and make appropriate dinners for my whole family. All the while knowing how many calories we're intaking.. (no guessing) Its also great for snacks too! My little one always wants a treat, and now, no matter the treat (fruit or something sweet), I can measure it out to 100 calories or whatever! Its great. I'm glad I bought it and would recommend it to my friends who want to lose weight in an instant.
Very good nutrient scale February 14, 2010
Jacquie Johnson (Harrison Twp, MI USA)
Very nice scale for nutrtional info needs. Better than some beause it has 'Vitamin K'. Easy to use once you get the used to it. Weight response has a little delay but not irritating. Square weight platform was a little out of alignment with base square but not enough to return it(only people more anal-retentive than me would have a serious problem with this misalignment). Overall, really like it.
