like many people im overweight and have tried many diets to slim down im now convinced calorie countingportion control is the key to weight loss this will be the 4th nutrition scale ive purchased and tried the first one didnt 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 couldnt look up or transfer datathe weakness of any of these scales is the app that is used with them ive got lots of experience with smart apps with alexa connected to and operating everything possible in my home what ive 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 idioti 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 theyd 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 helpfulone of the most critical features is the ability to link with a fitness app to keep track of your progressthe 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 datei 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 toenter the health sync app for free or a tiny fee if you dont want any ads the health sync app seamlesslymoves data from fitbit to samsung health so all my fitness metrics are in one placeone 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 removedanother nice feature is so far everything ive looked up stays visible below the look up food window speeding up  the discovery processanother thing i like is i put a plate on the scale then zero it out with the tare button lets say weigh a slice of protein bread but then once thats 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 etcthe database is pretty extensive so far ive found something close to everything ive looked upon 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
