Kitrics Digital Nutrition Scale Review
Today I am going to write a Kitrics Digital Nutrition Scale review. I have bought this food scale to help a family member to lose weight since he was overweight.
Yes, I know losing weight is harder than gaining weight for most of us.
Wouldn't it be so nice for us if it was harder to gain weight instead of losing weight, just like one of my nephews? The problem with us is we like to eat, especially sweets. Really, who doesn't like eating ice cream and candies?
Anyway, this food scale was very handy and useful for helping us figure out the amount of calories and protein to eat per day when we were doing the 3 week diet program.
Actually, we are still following the 3 week diet plan. If you'd like you can click here to read more about this diet program or click here to read more about this food scale by other consumers from amazon.
You really don't have to use it just for losing weight. This scale can be used for counting sugar levels for all kinds of foods. It is especially great for someone who has diabetes. Sadly, my in law and mother both have diabetes and they need to restrain the type of food they are eating. I would have gotten this food scale for them if they didn't already have one.
Kitrics Digital Nutritional Scale On Video
Check out this Kitrics digital scale on video. I have found it online and it is showing you how to use it. In the video it is showing the brand name Chefmate. They have changed its brand name to Kitrics now. It is the same useful food scale. This video is pretty short. It is under 3 minutes. So it shouldn't take that long to watch it.
Some Of The Features From This Scale
You might be wondering what the usefulness is of this food scale. I was asking the same question before I made the purchase. Let me help you save some of your time by putting all of it in one place on here.
- It is silver colored with a sleek and shiny look.
- This scale can compute the following nutritional facts: Cholesterol, Sugar, Fiber, Carbohydrates, Calories, Calories From Fat, Fat, Saturated Fat, Protein, and Sodium.
- You can use this scale to weigh up to 72 ounces of food which is about 2, 000 grams of food.
- It can be selected between grams or ounces. I like measuring in ounces but sometimes in grams too. It is really up to your preference to select between those two.
- You can also add and store up to 99 of your own food codes to the scale.
- It can be measured with or without a bowl. If your food has liquid of course it requires a bowl, right? So this option is pretty cool to have.
- The power will automatic shut off when it is not in use.
- The weighing area is stainless steel and is washable.
- It only uses two AA batteries.
- The scale is pretty lightweight to carry wherever you go. I once brought it to my in laws' house. The scale weighs about 1.5 pounds if you want to know.
- It is not that big with dimensions of about 2.6 x 7.1 x 10.2 inches.
- The scale will auto power shut off when it is not in use. This is very good to prevent the batteries from draining. That means it has a longer usage time.
What's In The Box?
- Well, it comes with a food scale.
- An instruction manual showing you how to use it.
- A booklet that has all the 1999 food codes listed on it.
- Two double A batteries. Cool, no need to buy extra batteries to test it out. All you have to do is pull out some kind of transparent tag out of the batteries and it can be used. I believe the tag is to prevent it from draining the batteries.
Kitrics Digital Nutritional Label Scale Review
✅ Pros:
- It is very easy to use.
- Great for losing weight and for someone who has diabetes
- Very lightweight
❌ Cons:
- It is a little pricey when comparing with other scales.
- A few are complaining the fonts on the screen are too small to read.
- A few are saying it doesn't work right out of the box, so be sure to check it when you receive it. I mean, if it doesn't work then you have a chance to return or exchange it. Once the return or exchange period passed then you won't be able to do so if it actually doesn't work. Some times a defect can occur.
