Greater Goods Food Scale with Nutrition Calculator, Non Connected Calorie Scale for Meal Prep, Weight Loss, 2000 Pre-Loaded Food Codes, Compact Kitchen Scale, Battery Operated, 11lb Capacity, Silver

Likes: Number one for me is that I LOVE the display since it mirrors the label format that is on packaged foods. The code book and instructions are online if you lose your book. Online support. Easy to learn to use. Accurate. Attractive. I store mine in a plastic IKEA magazine holder when not in use. No seams on the glass anywhere so that germs won't lurk. Easily wiped off but not waterproof--I feel this is unnecessary barring big accidents with liquids. "Okays" and limitations: Can't use decimals for nutrient values. You must round up or down or double the weight in order to get whole numbers. I figure this compromise on accuracy makes no difference. Shuts off automatically to save the batteries. No micronutrients are listed, if you need that. You need to track your food codes manually by writing them down. It would be great if the app allowed you to save your codes! I wish it had a USB charger vs batteries. It is very accurate. I checked it with items of known weight. You can put your container on the scale before turning it on and it will automatically zero (deduct the weight of the container). I like the feature that allows you to add food codes of frequently eaten items. I wish there were more than 99 custom codes though I honestly don't know that I need to save that many. No barcode scanning. The code book is pretty limited....some regular foods like a fresh apple are not listed. Go figure. But never fear, there is an app you can download that seems to have many more codes "Perfect Portions." You can Favorite your frequently used foods in the app. I use a tracking app called CarbManager where I can scan actual bar codes for packaged food. These can be put in the scale as a Custom Code once you have the data. I look up fresh food data on a reputable online database so I have more choices than what is included in the Perfect Portion app. This scale helps me to accurately assemble a recipe and know what nutrients are in it. Further, I can determine a what a serving size is by figuring the carbs (in my case) per gram and adjust accordingly--I then change the serving size in my custom CarbManager recipe so I know how much I can consume without going over my limits. You can add serial foods to a container to make up a dish with several ingredients and it calculates individual and total nutrients. You can save nutrients for the whole day by using the same function. The manual gives very clear instructions for this and you can contact support online too. Overall, with a little ingenuity and good tracking (either with an app or manual) this scale can help you to conveniently form an very accurate picture of your nutrients to manage carbs, calories, and other macronutrients. Though it's impossible to find a scale or app to do it all, this scale is awesome for the price, is easy to use, has a great warranty and good support. Excellent accuracy, max 10 lbs.

UPDATE: this is the best food scale I have EVER owned!!! I wish they also made a portable version!!! 8/10/17 I've had the scale for two days and I actually called (and emailed) customer service because I wanted to ask 2 questions: 1. can custom codes be overwritten since they are limited (A: Yes) and 2. is there a way to enter food label information without creating a custom code. (A: No) The scale is amazing; it's easy to use and look up codes. It also has a zero feature that can allow you to calculate your meal. Shipping was quick, customer service is expedient and friendly, and the scale arrived as described, in perfect condition. My favorite feature besides being able to add custom foods (using a food label) is the on/OFF button. I love being able to turn it off instead of wait for it to auto shut off. I also love being able to turn it on without having to do those annoying repeated taps, presses, etc. This is a great design scale. As of right now, one of my best Amazon purchases! The only thing that was somewhat of a con for me is I wish the scale had the ability to directly enter food label for foods WITHOUT having to save a custom code for it. It would've been great to have another mode "Label" that would allow you to instantly enter food label info for that one-time item. I did test the over-writing of a custom code and it is true...you just have to clear the current info and re-enter the info for the new food and it will save it and replace the previous info.

I am not a person who writes reviews normally. However, I wanted to write one for this amazing company. We love our nutrition scale. Having a diabetic child at home, it simply makes our life easier. I am sure everyone who uses the product will agree how convenient it is to use this smart scale. But this is not the reason for me writing this review. After using our scale for about 2 years, my wife accidentally dropped it in the sink and the glass portion of the scale is scattered. I removed the scattered glass parts and contacted the company to see if I can purchase the glass part separately so o can reattach/glue it myself. They responded immediately and sent us a brand new scale at no cost. I was not expecting that. It was an exceptional customer service experience. A great product coming from a great company.

Hi all, I rarely post reviews but wanted share that the scale looks really nice, elegant and is one of those appliances you can leave displayed. I got it yesterday and used is multiple times already for measuring portions or ingredients. About the app: like previously noted in the reviews, the app needs to be updated with the number of items and adjusted for an easier search. For example, non fat yogurt is not among the items in the app, which is strange. Also, when you search in the app, the entire folder comes up, not exactly the item you searched for, making it more challenging to find what you are looking for quickly. An example, I searched for French baguette, and had to scroll through three folders to see what is the closest to that. I think non fat yogurt and French baguette are pretty basic. If the company keeps updating the food list to bring it closer to what is in MyFittnesspal, it would be incredibly useful little appliance for understanding the macro side of nutrition without having to Google or use one of the other food apps. I am still giving it four stars since I really like the design and display. I think I will use it as a regular kitchen scale until the app is more developed and look up the nutrient info somewhere else.

I have had this for several months and it works great. Much better than expected.

Easy to use and read and looks nice. I ordered this scale to help manage T1D and carb counting. It is so nice to just use the scale vs. App and scale. Its simple to use and easy to read.

Loved it easy to use, great price and not too heavy or thick, the quality and accuracy I would say it on point. So far everything is functioning how it should be and the battery life is good.

Great product for those with diabetes to measure their food for carbs, fats, and proteins.

If I had more stars to give for this product I would give more.Is the best scale ever!! Easy to use.Simple and chic design ,you can use it in grams or ounces and even is more expensive then most of the scales is totally worth it.I strongly recommend it! As a plus is caming with batteries attached...so is just ready to be used.

Fantastic Tool for T1D Families This scale has been a fantastic investment for our family as we navigate life with Type 1 Diabetes. It’s especially helpful when you’re still learning how to count carbs. The built-in nutrition scale provides clear breakdowns of common foods, and the included code book is simple and easy to follow. Highly recommend for any family looking to make carb counting more accurate and less stressful.

As a type 1 diabetic these scales are great as I carb count they make life so much easier as they take out the hard work of working all the food values out also great for any household as they tell you sugar value fat carbs I’m enjoying using them and yes I would recommend them

Delivery arrived without supporting reference book and when I asked for assistance they refuse I strongly suggest Amazon stop selling this scale if the person lives outside of U.S.

les codes pour la balance sont en anglais donc pas très pratique pour faire la recherche, on perd un temps fou. Au bout d'une semaine d'utilisation j'ai arrêté à cause de cela.
