If you would like to or need to track your food intake and nutrition, you might be interested in a new innovative Smart Food Scale concept that has launched on Kickstarter this week.
The Smart Food Scale has been designed to connect to Bluetooth-enabled iOS devices and use a companion application to record and provide exact nutritional information for the food you are weighing.
How the Smart Food Scale Works
“Let’s say you’re making pasta salad. Place a bowl on the scale, tare (zero), select your first ingredient (in the app) add it to the bowl. Do the same with the following ingredient, the app will recognize that you are doing this and tare the weight to account for the new ingredient. Continue until you have finished your masterpiece, at which point you can see the nutritional information for the entire dish. With USDA information at your fingertips, no manuals or tables necessary!”
The Smart Food Scale project is currently over on the Kickstarter website looking to raise enough pledges to make the jump from concept to production, and has currently raised just over $9,000 towards its $30,000 production goal.
Benefits and Features of the Smart Food Scale
The Smart Food Scale offers a range of benefits and features that make it a valuable tool for anyone looking to monitor their diet more closely. By connecting to your iOS device via Bluetooth, the scale provides real-time data on the nutritional content of your food. This can be particularly useful for those who are managing specific dietary needs, such as diabetics who need to monitor carbohydrate intake or athletes who are tracking their protein consumption.
One of the standout features of the Smart Food Scale is its ability to tare automatically as you add ingredients. This means you can build complex recipes and get an accurate nutritional breakdown for the entire dish without having to do any manual calculations. The companion app is designed to be user-friendly, making it easy to select ingredients and see their nutritional information instantly.
Additionally, the scale uses USDA data to provide accurate nutritional information, eliminating the need for users to consult external manuals or tables. This makes the process of tracking food intake more streamlined and less time-consuming.
The Smart Food Scale is also designed with aesthetics in mind. Its sleek, modern design ensures that it will look good in any kitchen, and its compact size means it won’t take up too much counter space. The scale is also easy to clean, making it a practical choice for everyday use.
