GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SCALE
Read the operating instructions and become familiar with the buttons
and their functions. The buttons will allow you to select modes, enter
numbers and save and display nutritional information.
The EatSmart™ Nutrition Scale has two modes to help calculate
nutritional information accurately and is explained on the following
pages in more detail.
1) The Normal Mode will calculate 12 nutrients from the 999 foods
programmed into the scales memory.
2) The Nutrition Facts Calculator mode will calculate nutrients
from a portion of food that comes with a Nutrition Facts Label
on the side or back of a package, can or container.
TIPS
1) Make sure the scale is on a clean, flat surface
2) When placing a plate or bowl on the scale, make sure the weight is
at zero before placing food on the plate. If not press tare.
3) All food should be weighed in edible form to provide the most
accurate values without pits, rinds and skins unless specified.
4) Familiarize yourself with the food codes and write the most
common food item down in the back of this brochure for easy
reference.
5) Get into the habit of weighing food and eyeballing food in grams
not ounces. Most nutritional information is displayed in grams
especially the USDA required Nutrition Facts labels.
6) Use the 1/2/3/4 button to focus on key nutrients appropriate for
your needs
