As soon as i realized that i started to gain weight for pretty much no reason , i thought that i should try to control how much do i eat or drink.

It was kind of hard to decide what kind of scale to choose as pretty much all of them looked nice and would give you an accurate weight. Then i realized, that knowing just the weight is not enough - i need to know how many calories are in one serving and how much one serving is and then do the math. Most of the times it's pretty easy, when it's written on the package. But let's say you are going to have a cup of coffee with cream and sugar. I was amazed that the amount of cream i was putting was as twice as much than i thought. Then comes the sugar. Sure, i can get the list of products online and look up how many calories are there and then calculate how much did i put. Instead, i just put the code from the manual and i can see the amount of calories out of the sugar right away. A cup of coffee only is around 100kkal and i can take about 5 cups per day. 500kkal just out of coffee while trying to take under 2000 kkal per day. Any product that seems to be harmless has calories in it and you eat it without even realizing that you are overeating throughout the day. I love grapes and i eat as much as i want and consider it a light snack till i put it to the scale and realize that sometimes this snack is 300-400 kkal.

I'm glad i got the scale and know how much do i eat. Besides, the design is very sleek, the scale is smaller than i thought as it looks bigger in the picture and it takes less space than a dinner plate. If you are about to start to control how much do you need i would highly recommend to spend those extra $20 for this particular model with nutrition calculator - it makes you life much easier.

I follow the "zone" diet which requires specific ratios of proteins fats and carbs. I use this scale primarily for figuring out my carb intake.

I was using a manual scale (the kind you rotate the base to tare it and count little lines to measure) and then looking up in a book the carb/fat/protein value and THEN doing the math. The preset choices are a little limited in my view. Like there wasn't a measure cherries with pits (ie- fresh cherries) and I'm not sure what a medium vs large strawberry would be. But in the end it synced with the math I was doing manually so it's a winner!! The one thing that isn't clear is if when calculating the carbs if the net carbs are less the fiber. I think they are, based on my manual calculations such that I call my net carbs exactly what this scale shows as "carbs".

I love this little guy (and it IS little)and my prep time has been cut in half!

I use this scale for almost every meal and it has really helped me watch my portions and calories. It is simple to use and intuitive. I have checked the accuracy and it is consistant and exact. My only complaint is the display is difficult to read if you use a small plate and impossible if you use a large plate.
