Nutrition Facts on food labels have always been a bit confusing. It’s always hard to tell how many 15-piece servings you have in one bowl, or how much dressing should be added to your salad. Thanks to the company Perfect Portions, people can now get specific details on the nutrition facts thanks to their digital food scale. The scale displays ten key nutritional elements that is obtained from the scales database of almost 2,000 different foods.

The scale will inform a user of the total calories in the portion being weighed and how many of those come from fat. The display then shows the proportion of fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, salt, sugar, dietary fiber, carbs and protein in grams and milligrams. The device can even calculate a percentage of daily intake based on a diet of 2,000 calories. Intake data can be saved for daily totals analysis and monitoring, and a user can program in up to 99 custom food codes for anything that isn’t covered in the food code book.

The Perfect Portions Digital Food Scale shows weights in either grams or ounces, is powered by a couple of user-replaceable AA sized batteries and comes in black, white, silver, red, or blue.
