Default Carb & Calorie Kitchen Scale

I was wondering if anyone out there used this kitchen scale and if it was worth the relatively heafty price tag:

From Shopathometv.com:

Carb & Calorie Scale appx. $60

"Take the guesswork out of your diet with the Carb and Calorie Scale. This is a scale like none other in that it provides key nutritional values for over 900 different foods or recipe ingredients. Accurately determine the values of calories, salt, protein, fat, carbohydrates, cholesterol and fiber in your weighed food. "

I'd have to see and test it. If it did all it said it did, then I would be temted to buy it myself. It seems alot easier then checking fitday. It would be much nicer if you could customize it l ike if you had a pda hookup or soemthing to add foods.

I have a digital kitchen scale from Salter that measures carbs, calories, fat, etc...
I LOVE IT!
You just weight out your portion of food, then punch in a 3-digit code for that food (i.e. cheddar cheese = 882), and press the carb button. It tells you exactly how many carbs! It has been the best weight loss tool for me!
I got mine free using Save-on-More points (like frequent flyer points at the local grocery store), but it has definitely been worth $60.00 to me. Heck, I spend far too much $ on low-carb junk food anyway...hee hee....
