A Digital Nutritional Scale provides information that helps us determine what is best to eat.
When I picked this item, Digitial Nutritional Scale, to provide a review I thought it was going to be an easy one to complete.After taking the scale out of it’s box, I could not believe how beautiful it was. I was holding a beautiful high gloss black digital nutritional scale. It is just a little smaller than my iPad Pro but twice as heavy. When I turned it on I expected it to look a little like my scales I purchased during a sale at one of our local big box stores.I spent six hours trying to figure out how to make this scale work. Don’t let that trouble you. In my twenties, (I’m turning 74 in a few days. This info is for a point of reference). I was a cook, then worked my way up to sous chef. The scales we used were spring scales. You had to zero them out each time you needed an accurate weight. They had a large oblong type bowl sitting on top. On the face we’re printed numbers. When you put your item on top of the scale, you looked where the arrow stopped and that’s how much you item weighed – Give or take an ounce or two.At first, I did not find any instructions. I went to the corner of my room where I threw the box. I picked up the box and saw a small booklet printed on cheap newsprint like paper. I read that booklet several times.Flipping through this booklet I realized nothing in this booklet provided me instruction that made no sense. I gave up and awent to bed. In the morning, I began looking at other digital nutritional scales. There was a similarity in several of the nutritional scales.I finally found an individual on a Social Media apps I use, who knew how to use these nutritional scales. He said he could give me a brief 15 minutes of his time. He asked me if the scales came with an app? He said, first thing I needed to do was download the app veSync. Once downloaded I was able to register my scales. If you get one of these scales, take your time. If you are use to using a nutritional scale, you are looking at one of the best I found, when I was trying to understand how to use it. If this is your first digital nutritional scale you be checking your nutritional intake in no time.I will be adding a brief video, later this afternoon, that will show you how to get started with this awesome health tool. My wife and I have become concerned with the strange additives manufacturers are putting in our foods these days. On the back of every product we purchase there is supposed to be a list of everything in the food item you’re thinking about eating. there is also supposed to be a complete list of nutritional benefits that we are to receive if we do eat this product.That’s why I like this digital nutritional scale. There are several ways that we’re going to be able to take and do a deeper search of what the nutritional value of everything that we picked up is going to have in it.You’re gonna need to make sure to download the app the veSync it runs both on android in iOS. It works for one individual at a time, but it goes through the process. You need to do to add a second or third individual may be wanting to use the scales for their nutritional diet.From what I understand, this is not a diet plan. This tells you the nutritional value of the food you’re eating. I have a friend not the one that has helped me out with this, I don’t think you’ll mind if I mention his name. His name is Rick. He’s about 6 foot 3 in height, and he’s been concerned about his weight. We all joke with him telling him he’s not that big and doesn’t have that much to lose but he’s set on losing about 40 to 50 pounds.Rick did not have the benefit of a digital scale like this. Some of his friend ladies we all chipped in and opened up our little nutritional books and told him what each item he was eating was worth. He became very knowledgeable as to what each food item was worth in nutrition, sugar, sodium all the good things negative things. He also began an exercise routine. He used what is called a shake plate. I didn’t know what that was at beginning and then I began to see what everybody was talking about.He would spend 45 minutes to an hour standing on his shake plate. He was committed to his nutritional intake, his exercise, and by the end of six months he lost almost 45 pounds. In fact, some of the ladies told him that he was losing too much weight he was for his eyes, getting too thin, they thought.So can you take this device that you’re looking at and you combine it with exercise you can develop for yourself a health regiment that will help you lose the pounds you may be looking to lose. Plus it will get you into a exercise routine, which if you’re like me, we all could use.This is probably the best product I’ve had a chance to review on Amazon. I highly recommend this product if you are concerned about maintaining a diet that is healthy and beneficial for you and your family

Overall good…instructions fuzzy
Very good scale for keeping track of calories, macros, etc.. for those of us needing to lose weight or those who want to stay healthy. It’s definitely an eye opener when you start adding things you didn’t really think of before like the condiments and dressings and oils. One tablespoon of olive oil has 120 calories! Same with most nuts. Healthy oils but definitely calorie dense! Definitely download the VeSync app and connect it to this scale. So much information with this app.Anyway, the reason I took one star off is because the instructions are very fuzzy about how to import foods to the scale. The scale itself only has 5 foods by itself (without the app) and sometimes I want to weigh foods without having the app connected. In the instructions that came with the scale, it says you can only do this from a 3rd party app like My Fitness Pal. So I downloaded the app and connected it to the VeSync app but it never showed up in my “connected apps” list. So I went to Cosori support and emailed them about this and got an email back saying my question was received and will be answered promptly. That was 2 weeks ago. So yeah, Cosori support is useless.I did, however, figure out how to solve this problem after a while. If you go to the settings in the VeSync app (the little gear icon in the upper right corner) and scroll down to “quick add”, you can download either foods in your most recent list or ones that you search for. Now I have about 15 foods in my scale I can scroll through without having to connect the app.All in all a great little tool for helping track diet and calories at a reasonable price. However, the instructions and customer support definitely needs improvement.

Overall very helpful
The food listed is very limited but you can update it yourself to your list but other then that it’s a very good aid to keeping you on track with your calories.

Great Product
Initially I believe I had a faulty scale, I was able to go through customer service and the provided superior customer support and sent me a new scale. The issues I had with the original was that the button to reset the scale to zero was is so close to the power button that the device would just shut off instead of actually resetting to zero. The new one I received, doesn’t seem to be that finicky and this one actually resets to zero without any issues allowing me to continually weight out my weekly meal prepping. Product is great, customer service is phenomenal.

Love it

Overall good scales. I live in Australia and haven’t found the scales can scan a product and pick it up as yet and I’ve had the scales for months. I manually put food items in which is very time consuming but the scales work when doing this. I like that you can record exercise also which calculates my macros, this is my favourite part of the scale. The scales doesn’t measure small amounts very well. But I do recommend this.
