I had seen this product used on TV and thought it would be a great idea to help me with my diet. I have been weighing food and calculating the calories and fat on my own but that becomes a real headache. This wonderful little thing calculates the weight along with 10 or nutrional values. It's really amazing to watch the calories or fat add up as you pour your cereal or chips into a bowl. It even has a wonderful total feature which can be used to total up nutrional values in a meal or in everything you've eaten in the day. It's simple to use and it really wakes you up to how much you are eating. Great for portioning!

While there are 1000 foods programed in, I found myself using the 100 available "enter your own" slots. I can easily see myself filling these 100 numbers up and having to delete items I don't eat as often. So that's the only downside, I wish there were more programmable slots. Otherwises this is a great scale whether you are counting calories or not.
