The scale itself probably shouldn't be the main reason you're buying this. The scale plus the Bluetooth connected mobile application that comes with it is the reason. It's amazing to have your food weight instantly update in real-time on your smartphone display on the app. This is especially useful if you have a large mixing bowl on the scale which blocks you from reading the display.This is just the beginning, however. Tell the mobile app that you're going to weigh out some strawberries, add said strawberries to the scale, and watch as the mobile app provides all the macro-nutrient information for the weight of the strawberries present. You can then add this entry to your "plate" and weigh out all of your other foods until your "plate" is complete. Talk about insanely easy nutrient counting. The only thing better would be someone to do it all for you!It tracks more than just Fats, Proteins, and Carbs. Vitamins and minerals of all shapes and sizes are added to your diet diary within the app as you add foods, weigh them, and add them to your plate. Watching your potassium intake? It's already calculated based on the weight of all the food items on your virtual plate.I've been on the Keto diet for over a year and being able to effortlessly measure my food portions so I stay within my fat, protein, and carb limits is invaluable. I lost 40lbs but was stuck and couldn't lose anymore. Once I started weighing my food with this, I started losing weight again.So, any downsides? Not many so far. One thing I will note is that the smartphone app isn't dedicated to just this scale. Many different devices connect to the app and it looks like there are a bunch of automation functions. I don't know if this applies to the scale as I haven't played around with it. Anytime you launch the app you have to tap on an icon of your food scale. I think the premise is that eventually, you'll have a list of products that connect to the app. For now, it's just annoying to open the app, tap your scale, and then begin vs just opening the app and beginning. Not a huge problem at all, though.If you need to measure out your food, it's a great scale. If you need to measure your food and track macronutrients, it's an amazing scale.

My wife and I have been on a healthy eating program since January, 2020 (down 50+ pounds to date!) and portion control is critical to the program. We had been using a spring scale, but I question its accuracy and it was kind of a pain to use, because it had a little tray that sat on top, you adjusted the spring to account for the weight of the tray, but I often couldn't fit everything in the tray, and you had to wash it after using and dry off before the next weigh, which was a hassle.No such problems here -- if what you're weighing can sit on a flat surface, just turn the scale on, pop your item on, and a quick wipe takes care of things. If it's something that won't sit on a flat surface, just put your bowl, plate or measuring cup on the scale, press the "T" button, and a second later, the scale zeros out the weight of the container, and you can remove it, fill it up with the stuff you want to weigh and put it back on the scale (there is a time limit on this process, though, so make sure that whatever you want to weigh is ready to go when you press the Tare button.)It's a nice looking unit, it blends in with stainless steel appliances and is very thin, so it will go into a drawer easily if you don't want it on the counter (we leave it on the counter because it takes up less space than our old scale did.)If I'm going to ding the product for one thing (and one star, I'll update the rating if it gets resolved in the future,) it's for the iOS software that you use to connect to the scale and track foods that you're weighing. For basics, like you're weighing a cooked chicken breast, it's straightforward and handy; for anything else, like a meal replacement bar or a bowl of soup, if the name brand product isn't in their database (and none of the foods from our healthy eating plan were,) you have to add them yourself, and the process to do so is somewhat arduous. In the screenshot, you can see the entry screen for the 30 or so nutrient components, and for each one, you have to delicately tap on the zero that the app puts into the value field -- if you tap on the left side of the zero, it will add a zero to whatever number to put in, so you have to tap on the right side of the zero (unless your value ends in zero, of course,) which is not easy to do. Again, this is only a problem if you have to enter custom foods, but in my case, since everything is custom, after setting up about eight, I gave up and switched to "MyFitnessPal" for tracking my food -- I have to custom enter the stuff that I weigh on the scale, but that's easy to do.I'm surprised that the software isn't very good, because I have their Renpho bathroom scale, and the software for that is excellent. Hopefully, they will have an update for the food scale.Overall, a great scale, and if you can get by on the database that the iPhone app includes, it's a perfect food tracking solution.
