[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 122971, member: 19121"] Hi, I bought a set of [url=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SALTER-NUTRI-WEIGH-GO-DIETARY-COMPUTER-KITCHEN-SCALES_W0QQitemZ300388271074QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Kitchen_Accessories?hash=item45f08943e2]Salter 1400 Nutri-Weigh & Go scales off ebay[/url] when I was tweaking my diet and found them quite useful. And from £13 delivered from an ebay seller great value too :D [img]http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/73000363/Images/2/salter%201440.jpg[/img] Basically you turn them on place a plate on them and zero it, then you press FOOD and scroll through the database of 1400 food items and stuffs and select the first part of your meal, say potato, it will then give you the weight of the portion along with the: Calories Protein Carbohydrates Total Sugars Total Fat Saturated Fat Fibre Sodium Cholesterol Net Carbs % of Calories from Fat Glycemic Index (GI) I personally found the net carbs and GI the most useful but it was interesting to see what other stuff was in my food, like salt etc. Quite an eye opener. Then you can re-zero the scales leaving the potato on it and then place the next ingredient, say peas and do the calculation again. Then re-zero and add the next ingredient until you have your full plate and have added up all the nutritional values that you may require. I now find it too fiddly and time consuming to use every day but when I needed to adjust my portions and know exactly what carbs etc I was eating I found them brilliant and fairly intuitive to use even by an idiot like me :D [/QUOTE]
