Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale - Professional Food and Nutrient Calculator
Customer Review: A "Must Have" For Healthy Eating Choices
Summary: 5 Stars
After aready losing 75 lbs., I'm still pursuing my last 50 lbs. to reach my goal weight for my height/age. Although I've read numerous diet books, it all comes down to making the best nutritional choices and portion control. The EatSmart Nutrition Scale is an excellent tool to help with these decisions. There is truth in numbers that you can see on the scale for each portion of food rather than "eye balling" whether a piece of fruit (or whatever) is small, medium or large and see the exact nutritional values for each portion. The Guidebook To A Nutritious Lifestyle that comes with the scale highlights important info for anyone who wants to eat smart! Easy to use and even though I have very limited counter space (live in an apt.), it fits in and looks good. A great value and wise purchase for your good health.
Customer Review: A Diabetics Valuable Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I ordered this scale and nutrition calculator to help her with her diet plan. She was elated with this product and uses it daily. She keeps a written log of her food and nutrition intake. This is a tool to be used by someone who is serious about nutrition and their diet. If you just need a scale it is not for you. My wife loves this product.Customer Review: A Great Scale for a Great Price!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just recently bought this scale and all I can say is WOW! It's terrific! It is very easy to use and gives me all of the nutritional info that I am keeping track of in my food journal. This is a great product!!Customer Review: A Very Valuable addition to health concious cooking
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife has a potassium deficit and this unit performs a most important function in measuring potassium in foods. It should be noted that, although a very important component of a healthy mineral balance, food manufacturers are not required to list potassium content as they must with sodium. Therefore, at least in my wife's case, it has proved to be an invaluable adjunct to meal planning. I have given it a 4 star rating and would raise it to 5 star if there was a means of updating or adding unlisted foods.Customer Review: A Wake up Call
Summary: 5 Stars
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?
