Xtreme Zone 6320 NutriGuide Nutrition Health and Diet Organizer
If you’re trying to adhere to a strict diet, whether self-imposed or suggested by a doctor to accommodate medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, or obesity, this nutrition/diet organizer can provide a quick assessment on potential food choices. Ideal for professionals who are on the run or who eat their fair share of restaurant lunches or dinners, the NutriGuide comes in a light, portable, plastic notebook and can be used from any location.
The kit comes with two books—one for home cooking and one for dining out—that together list over 10,000 different foods and beverages and assign a code for each food to enter into the NutriGuide. After entering the food and serving size, the mini computer can calculate the percentage of calories you are eating that come from fat, protein, or carbohydrates and can track the eight essential nutritional values—calories, total fat, saturated fat, fiber, cholesterol, sodium, protein, and carbohydrates—and provide an average of each value. You can set the organizer to calculate totals on either a daily or weekly average. The NutriGuide can also supply instant information on the health of a particular meal and the six diabetic/dietetic exchanges. A large display makes it easy to read results and, to save time, a Memory button recalls up to 100 of your favorite foods so you don’t have to constantly reprogram them in. Another handy key switches the mode so you can use the NutriGuide as an ordinary calculator.
The NutriGuide works with many of today’s most popular diet programs and has been endorsed by nutritionists, doctors, and personal trainers. However, a health and fitness manual is also included with the organizer as a back-up reference full of nutritional facts, low-fat cooking tips, and guidelines for designing a workout program. Also included is a wall poster to help you track and record weekly dietary and fitness results for a full year. --Cristina Vaamonde

Tanita 2001T-FW Ultimate Body Fat Monitor and Scale, Translucent Frosty White
The 2-in-1 technology of the Tanita Ultimate body-fat monitor and scale means a more precise evaluation of your overall health. In addition to measuring pounds, the scale determines body-fat percentage with an at-home version of bioelectrical impedance analysis, the same method doctors use. Heres how it works: when you activate the body-fat monitor, the scale transmits safe, low-level electrical signals through your body and measures how quickly they travel. Readings display in one-percent increments and take into account your age, gender, and height. Programming on this model is very straightforward with simple buttons, clear prompts, and an easy-to-read display. Though not calibrated for very fit individuals or athletes, the scale does have a weight-only option and a 300-pound..

I got this scale because I read that it would store previous measurements to track your weight history. After reading the manual, it apparently does not do that.
Additionally, according to the manual the scales body fat measurement does not work properly if you are considered "athletic" or "fit", ..
Tanita 2201 Super Ultimate Body Fat Monitor and Scale
This device might look like a scale, but it presents a broader snapshot of personal health by not only determining weight, but estimating body fat as well. It does this by sending a safe, imperceptible, low-level electrical pulse (50 kHz) through the body. (Healthcare professionals use similar electrical-pulse devices to estimate body fat by what is known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, or BIA.) The device operates on four AA batteries (included), and its digital screen displays body-fat readings in 1.0-percent increments and weight in either 0.2-pound or 0.1-kilogram increments, up to 300 pounds or 136 kilograms.
The scale stores data (gender and height) for two users. Toe-tap a button to call up your data, and then step on the device. Within seconds, it displays your weight, fol..

Even though it has been mentioned by other reviewers before I would like to emphasize two points.
First, it gives amazingly consistent readings for weight and body fat and seems to be quite accurate. My previous scale was much more inconsistent and inaccurate even though it was a brand name electr..
Tanita 2202 Duo Scale Plus Body Fat Monitor
How much of your body weight comes from fat and how much from lean muscle? This scale lets you know so that you can make choices to improve and monitor your health. Tanika has patented a precise, easy way to use the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method at home. Simply enter your personal data using the ‘set,’ ‘up’ and ‘down’ buttons, and then stand barefoot on the scale. Electrodes in the foot sensor pads send a low-level electrical current through the body which measures the percentage of body fat. How? The current passes quickly through muscle and is slowed by fat.
One or two users can program the scale with their following personal data: age, height, and male or female. A switch on the back lets the user choose metric, imperial, or stones/poun..

I bought this scale for the whole family to weight themselves, and thought it would be nice to have body fat monitoring capability for two people. It turns out this scale is not designed for that purpose. The reasons are
1. Turning on the scale is not intuitive. There is no on/off button. Wit..
