What is the NUTRI-WEIGH Dietary computer scale?

Whether you are following a specific diet plan or simply aiming to eat more healthily, it is important to know the real nutritional value of the food you eat. The Salter NUTRI-WEIGH scale contains a comprehensive inbuilt nutritional database of over one thousand four hundred and thirty analysed foods. The foods in this database have been analysed according to the following eleven nutrient types: calories, protein, carbohydrates, total sugars, total fat, saturated fat, fibre, sodium, cholesterol, net carbohydrates and Glycemic Index (GI) values.

The NUTRI-WEIGH requires no separate reference book, table or numerical food codes, so it is very easy and quick to use. It has a feature that allows you to keep a cumulative record of your total nutritional intake and set maximum limits on various nutrient types e.g. calories. It also helps you keep track of your total nutritional intake by calculating the difference between your target and actual nutritional intake. Apart from the extensive one thousand four hundred and thirty plus foods in the database, this scale enables you to input data for up to one hundred additional food types, including your own favourite recipes and meals.

The NUTRI-WEIGH can also be used as a conventional scale for everyday weighing and measuring. This integrated kitchen scale is simple to use and fully equipped with the ‘Add & Weigh’ and Salter ‘Aquatronic

’ dry and liquid measurement technology.

The Salter NUTRI-WEIGH also has the following key features:

• Quick search, a function that allows you to easily find the last twenty foods

you analysed.

• Two user memory, which allows up to two people to record their nutritional intake for up to 7 days.

• UK/US food database selector switch, this function makes it ease for you to find foods that are common to each culture/country.

• Stainless steel platform, which is removable for easy cleaning and suitable for use with most bowls and containers.

• 4 AA batteries which are supplied with the scale for instant use.

• Alternative power supply, through an electrical mains power adaptor*.

• Maximum capacity of 3kg x 1g / 6lb 10oz x 1/8oz / 3000ml x 1ml /

105floz x 1/8floz.

For your convenience, the scale has a ‘weight mode’ memory, so when the scale is next switched on, it will continue to use the weight units last selected.

TIP:

The liquid measure (Aquatronic™) feature is suitable for all water based liquids, e.g. wine, milk, stock, cream etc. Please be advised that oils have a significantly lower specific gravity and would give a reading of approx. +10%.

Please adjust your recipe by this proportion when measuring oils on this scale.
