The scale pictured is the Ekticity ESN00 Smart Nutrition Scale. Not only does it weigh your food — a very accurate way to measure serving sizes — but it also breaks down detailed nutrition information on the display. It works through a companion app, where you select the food type, and the app adjusts the information on the scale display according to the weight, eliminating the guesswork and tedious math involved in calorie counting. Beyond calories, it can also tell you saturated and trans fat, cholesterol, potassium, protein, fiber, and more. Additionally, the app allows you to scan product barcodes to pull nutritional information for packaged goods as well.
In terms of the technology behind it, their food database is powered by Nutritionix, which has data for about 1 million food items. If that’s not enough, you can add and customize food data of your own, too. This feature makes getting nutritional information for homemade holiday meals much more accessible.
Healthy living is all about sustainability, progress, and longevity, all of which this scale can help with. Beyond individual weighings, the companion app can track your health habits over time. Daily, weekly, and monthly nutrition reports can be created, helping you understand the big picture of your diet. It’s a great way to spot patterns and stay consistent, while also identifying areas of your diet that can be improved.
While it doesn’t pair with MyFitnessPal or LoseIt, it does pair with Apple Health, Vesync and FitBit. The scale costs only $40 on Etekcity’s website and can be found online through major retailers.
If you’re trying to keep up healthy habits through the holidays, this smart scale is sure to take the pain out of calorie counting. Whatever your nutritional goals are during the festive season, the ESN00 Smart Nutrition Scale might make a great addition to your wishlist.
