RE: Re: Heart-Healthy 'Polymeal' Diet Includes Wine, Chocolate

That sounds good.

Let us know how it turns out. I think I will try the Radio Shack USB scale. To

test it before I start doing any programming, I will just feed the data to an Excel

spread sheet and then pull in the nutritional data from the USDA tables.

Thanks for providing

the idea for this project.

Hello,

Actually it won't talk to my PC but will

internally record the primary

info I'm interested in. From the on line

users manual,

------------------------------------------------------------------

" The Salter Nutritional Scale is designed for

precise measuring of

ingredients

or portions and for the better understanding of

various nutritional values

(fat content, sodium content, cholesterol,

carbohydrate, fiber,

protein and calories)

for food or ingredients in cooking, baking, or

just general dietary

consumption.

This scale offers a complete database on

nutritional value information

on over

900 foods or ingredients as listed in the USDA

National Nutrient

Database for

Standard References release 15.This includes

nutrition values for most

commonly

used ingredients, foods as well as liquids!

Additionally, this scale with its 99 memory entry

capacity has the

facility to make

multiple food entries and help you keep track over

an extended period

of time

and store it in its' memory. At the end of the day

or week (or anytime in

between) the total accumulated calories, fat grams

or mg of sodium etc

that

have been entered into the scale memory can be

recalled. All these

features

make this scale ideal for everyday and dietary

purposes. "

------------------------------------------------------------------

This is not as good a solution as interfacing with

a PC and having the

data interface with some C++ software, and running

real time

optimization routines. Furthermore having

voice routines telling you

of it's analysis. (I can just hear it

now.... Aequalsz you're eating

too much trans fat, not enough protein, and way

too many calories.)

This type of item will be coming before long I

expect. For now, I'll

be happy just to easily monitor my approximate

real time dietary profile.
