I'm wondering if people here in this group have any recommendations or advisories on them? Thanks If you have a Bed, Bath, and Beyond or Linens 'n Things, go in and look at the various scales. Features that are useful are a flat surface so you can put a plate on it; a tare function, so you can reset the weight to 0 after you put the plate on it; switchable ounce and gram measurements. I bought mine 6 or 7 years ago, and it's still going strong. I only wish it measured in 1 gr rather than 2 gr increments, but that's not enough of a drawback for me to consider replacing it. I got mine from Digital Scales Direct, 18 months ago, when it was an eBay store. It's no longer on eBay, but you can find them at digitalscalesdirect.com. They have a *dizzying* array of scales, no foolin'; I got an Escali that weighs to the nearest 0.5 g. I paid about 50 bucks for mine, but they have some that are cheaper. (No decent scale is going to be really cheap, though. You want precision, you pay for it.) They even have pocket scales that you can take with you. I'm not connected with these folks in any way, just a customer. Vicki -- Of all the stupid things I've done, this is certainly the most recent. - Chris Clarke |

Search on Amazon - I have one similar but much cheaper that works
great. The brand is Cibo and I think I paid more like $39 for it. Jennifer 267/163/150 |

I'm wondering if people here in this group have any recommendations or advisories on them? Thanks bmcky Boston, MA My wife bought a scale called "Weigh of Life" at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It weighs the food and has 999 codes that you can put it. It tells you grams of carb, fat, protein, fiber, etc. I think it sells for $59.99. She's diabetic and watches her serving sizes really closely, especially carbs. Larry |

Thanks bmcky Boston, MA Update - I ended up buying the Salter Model #1400 thinking that would be easier to track my food intake values. Thanks for the suggestions, opinions and ideas. bmcky (almost ready for induction) Boston, MA |
