Like many people I'm overweight and have tried many "diets" to slim down. I'm now convinced calorie counting/portion control is the key to weight loss. This will be the 4th nutrition scale I've purchased and tried. The first one didn't 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 couldn't look up or transfer data. The weakness of any of these scales is the app that is used with them. I've got lots of experience with "smart" apps with Alexa connected to and operating everything possible in my home. What I've 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 idiot. I 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 they'd 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 helpful. One of the most critical features is the ability to link with a fitness app to keep track of your progress. The 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 date. I 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 to. Enter the Health Sync app. For free or a tiny fee if you don't want any ads, the Health Sync app seamlessly moves data from Fitbit to Samsung Health, so all my fitness metrics are in one place. One 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 removed. Another nice feature is so far everything I've looked up stays visible below the "look up food" window speeding up the discovery process. Another thing I like is I put a plate on the scale then zero it out with the tare button, let's say weigh a slice of protein bread, but then once that's 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 etc. The database is pretty extensive so far I've found something close to everything I've looked up. On 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.

Picked this up to get more precise with my nutrition and meal prep routine and it has completely changed how I approach food tracking. No more guessing portions. Accuracy: Readings are consistent every single time. Whether I am weighing proteins, grains, or produce the numbers are reliable and repeat accurately. When you are tracking calories and macros that consistency is everything. Guessing is what gets you off track and this eliminates that entirely. Display: Clean, large, and easy to read at a glance. No squinting, no awkward angles needed. The display is bright enough to read clearly even in different lighting conditions around the kitchen. App Connectivity: This is what separates it from a basic scale. Being able to log directly through the app and track nutritional data in real time makes meal prep significantly more efficient. It streamlines the whole process in a way that actually keeps you accountable. Size and Build: Compact enough to live on the counter permanently without taking up too much space. The 304 stainless steel surface looks sharp, wipes clean easily, and feels genuinely durable. Nothing about it feels cheap. Value: At this price point with this level of functionality this is one of the smarter purchases I have made for my health routine. It pays for itself quickly when you are serious about hitting your goals. If you are committed to weight loss or clean meal prep this scale removes the guesswork completely. That alone makes it worth every dollar.

This scale is very useful. I use it in conjunction the app and a Tekcity bathroom scale. Both scales connect with the app and allow convenient tracking of one’s diet.
