I had one of these under the Nutri-Counter brand that I used for 4 years before the batteries died, when I decided just to buy a new one rather than replace them. The units are virtually identical, so I think only the name has changed. (In between I tried a CalorieSmart, which I hated and returned because it was too cumbersome and time-consuming to use - for example you have to enter the whole word for a food - and it has a big bump on the back so you can't even lay it down to use it, you have to hold it all the time). But the Dietcalc is flat and compact. It's easy to use in that you can enter one or more letters and it will instantly bring up the first choice beginning with that letter or combination of letters and from there you can scroll through items alphabetically. You can then select the item and change the quantity if necessary. This principle also works when adding new foods, so that if you find something similar to your new item, you can bring it up, enter the name for your new entry, change any or all of the values (calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, sugar, fiber, and protein), press save, and have your new item as a permanent addition. To save time, for meals or snacks I routinely consume, I like to enter all the components, like shreaded wheat, milk, and orange juice for breakfast, write down the totals, then make a new entry such as "BR" with my toal values, so that's all I have to enter every morning. You can also set goals in each catagory and the on-screen value will flash if you go over. And it has a balance button so you can see how many calories, etc., you have remaining before you reach the daily limits you've set. I'm mainly interested in controlling calories, fat, and sodium, and I've found it very helpful as an aid for staying at or under my goals for those. On the downside, you can't review the items you've entered - you only see the running totals for the day.

2.0 out of 5 stars Keep Track of What You Enter, July 22, 2008

I liked that this unit tracks all the essential nutrients, allows you to enter daily goals, and see balances. However, there is no way to determine what foods you have entered and which ones you have not, or whether the food you THOUGHT you entered actually went in. You should be able to pick a day and then scroll through the entries, but you can't. As a consequence, you still need to manually write down the numbers to make sure the unit saved them. Also, the 2000 entries are not helpful. I ended up manually entering about 80% of my foods. Use a good online tracker like Calorie King instead.

Great Product, worth the money and it works as promised. The only shortfall is that there is no mechanism to see a complete list of everything you consumed that day. It totals up the calories and nutrition facts as you enter the items. It is mind opening to see the nutrition content totals for the day!! I would purchase this again, it is great!
