Etekcity Food Nutrition Kitchen Scale, Digital Grams and Ounces for Weight Loss, Baking, Cooking, Keto and Meal Prep, Large, 304 Stainless Steel

Like many people I'm overweight and have tried many "diets" to slim down. I'm now convinced calorie counting/portion control is the key to weight loss. This will be the 4th nutrition scale I've purchased and tried. The first one didn't work out of the box and was returned. The next one from Smart Chef actually worked well for 6 months then just quit. The scale still weighed food I just couldn't look up or transfer data.The weakness of any of these scales is the app that is used with them. I've got lots of experience with "smart" apps with Alexa connected to and operating everything possible in my home. What I've found is the more smart products a company powers the better their software team is at finding problems and restoring function after an issue with "the cloud". To get the necessary caloric values this app has to go through the cloud to a database for the info. The scale I purchased before this was a nice, accurate scale that had a network problem every time I opened the app. The sellers were nice folk that tried to be helpful but knew nothing about software and when communicating about the problem wasted my time asking stupid questions like I was an idiot.I have been using this for a week and although I had trouble at first logging data I fooled around with it until i learned how to use it. I should have taken a star off for lack of clear instructions but am so pleased it actually works as advertised. I did reach out for help at first and got an email contact form that said they'd get back to me in a few days. So not 5 star support, but they did open a case and asked for more info so there is some support if necessary. A through YouTube video would be very helpful.One of the most critical features is the ability to link with a fitness app to keep track of your progress.The two major players here are Apple Health and Fitbit. I bought and wore a Fitbit last fall just for the purpose of tracking everything, but was disappointed at how very little was automatically tallied and that I had to constantly sync to keep it up to date.I have been wearing a Samsung Galaxy watch for a few years and really like the Samsung Health app better than Fitbit or Google Fit. Unfortunately they are not a big enough player for many of these fitness trackers to link to.Enter the Health Sync app. For free or a tiny fee if you don't want any ads, the Health Sync app seamlesslymoves data from Fitbit to Samsung Health, so all my fitness metrics are in one place.One of the things I like about the Etekcity scale and VeSync app is the flexibility to remove all the clutter for the home screen. The app is really trying to help folks with weight loss by suggesting different diets like keto or Mediterranean but all that can be turned off and removed.Another nice feature is so far everything I've looked up stays visible below the "look up food" window speeding up the discovery process.Another thing I like is I put a plate on the scale then zero it out with the tare button, let's say weigh a slice of protein bread, but then once that's recorded can zero out the scale again, put some sugar free raspberry jam on the toast and weigh get the additional calories logged. First weigh the salad, then with the dressing etc.The database is pretty extensive so far I've found something close to everything I've looked up.On the Keto diet spent years treating a potato or tortilla chip like poison. I just read a study that said regardless of diet choices calories are the key. This tool should help me eat what I want but in small enough portions to lose a pound a week until I reach my target.

Excelente y no le he cambiado la batería aun 👍

Quality of this scale is excellent, easy to use, features on it are good since it connects to an app if you want it, haven't tested accuracy but it zeroes out and works for me

This is fine, for the price it's fine. If you need to be EXACT or precise within +/- 3 grams then get something higher-end with better calibration. I use this to measure for baking sourdough and maintaining my starter and it's fine but not great. At 1-3g of precision the reading jumps around. For example, I add 30g to my starter and when I get to 27 it could jump straight to 30. Or I could inch it up to 29 slowly slowly and then have it jump to 31, or 32. If I remove the container and put it back on the scale the reading can vary by up to 3g. I find this annoying but not enough to buy something more expensive. For the price, it's fine for me.

I got this like 2-3 years ago and wanted to report back. I can’t stress how useful it is to have a food scale if you’re in a calorie deficit. It’s not necessary, but it’s also a really handy way to keep track of what you’re eating to stay within your goals. Also this tiny scale has been through hell and back and still surprisingly works lol. I plan on getting a larger scale soon, but don’t plan on getting rid of this one anytime soon

AMAZING ut helped me lose 30 pounds so far the buttons are straightforward and the quality is good I've had it for months and it's very accurate for the cost it is a steal I would recommend

Overall a pretty decent food scale the accuracy is good and the app that it comes with is pretty useful. The only downside to it is it came out a bit smaller than i thought.

Does exactly what it’s supposed to do! Helped me stay disciplined with my portion sizes
