I am looking to buy a nutrition scale, and still researching my options. Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is the food code book? Thanks!!!!

This scale allows you to enter the type of food you are weighing. In order to do that, you look it up in the food code book. The scale then not only tells you the weight (in grams or ounces) it also tells you how many calories it is based on the food code you entered. I find it very handy, so I don't have to calculate as much.

It comes with a book that lists almost every food you could think of. They are broken down into categories such a fruits, vegetables, beverages, breads, meats, desserts, etc. You look up the food that you want to weigh-for example, dry macaroni has a code of 381. You enter the code number into the scale and place food on the scale to weigh it. This code gives you the nutrition facts of that amount of that particular food when you weigh it.

They have a great website of their own that I would check... and also there is a contact number I think. They are dedicated GF and are more aware of issues in diets than most products. MSG is a tricky one and sometimes a company may not always know the source supplier for ingredients. These bars are great and I am diabetic and GF but not sure of the MSG content. Hope this helps !

Go with what's listed on the package you have in hand, it should be the most up to date. The listing on Amazon may be older. Sometimes counts change if companies start using a different lab to do calorie testing.

Just look up the nutrition facts on google, so that way you can figure out all of your quantities, ya know.

I haven't used New Chapter but since it's owned by Monsanto, I'd rather take my chances with Vitamin Code. I've tried their Raw Vitamin C and I love it. This is next on my list.

Where do you see daily food logging? I can only find the 3 day nutrional assessment. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

There are 979 codes. Some of the codes are condiments and ingredients like oil or butter, but there are a lot of foods. The only foods I haven't been able to find are the hybrid fruits.

One thing I love about Amazon...click on the product and a very detailed ingredient list and nutritional list comes up. The last time I ordered, it did have 20 g. But maybe check the current listing:)

Hi, We have nothing to hide. Its listed in the nutritional information. However, we will put it on our title as well. Thanks for your suggestion, True Life Nutrients Support

Yes. There is a book of codes. Ex - apple has a code. Put apple on the scale and put in the appropriate code and it gives you the number of carbs. Saw the scale used by a friend with severe diabetes and was so impressed I ordered it right away.

D. Rein, I am debating purchasing one of these. I've really gotten into workout dvds and I'm tracking my calories without much success on my scale. I am hoping one of these can help me adjust my workout/eating to reach my goals. Which do you think would be better for me? I work a desk job so most of my day is sedentary. I'm also continuously tired and am excited to have something that tracks my sleep. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It's a plastic jar, perfectly identifiable, has logo, info, data, etc. I used one pill before meals ( forgot to take them a couple of times) but seemed to work, I may have lost 6 pounds in a month. I'm also eating a bit less, that helps. I recommend it. I'm from Argentina. Regards, good luck.

The nutritional information should be on the back label of the container. If you click on the container to view it, keep looking at the different views until the back label is in view. Then zoom in to read the ingredients.

There's a label on the bag....blurry and hard to read. Here's the best I can read: serv=1 oz, 120 cal, 2.5g fat, 1.5 sat fat and 0 trans fat. Sodium 20mg, total carb 18g, fiber 7g, sugars 0g, protein is 5g (I think--very blurry)
