NOTE:
i.
Target values can be altered at anytime by repeating steps 1-5 above.

You can just set those that you are most interested in and leave the others at zero.
iii.
Target values should be limited to a maximum period of 7 days.
d) Viewing Your Remaining Balance
To help you manage your diet plan better the NUTRI-WEIGH can show you the balance
remaining from your set target by using the ‘VIEW BALANCE’ option.
To view the remaining balance in your memory, follow the instructions below:
i.
Turn the scale on and press the MENU key
ii.
Use the SCROLL key to scroll down to the ‘VIEW BALANCE’ option
iii.
Press ENTER to view the outstanding balance of your set targets. If you have
exceeded your target for a particular nutritional category, the display will show
EEEE. Also, if you have not set targets for some of the nutritional categories, the
display will show EEEE
iv.
Press CANCEL to return to the previous/main screen.
Note:

To reset your memory at the end of your goal period, follow the instructions below:
i.
Turn the scale on and press the MENU key

Press ENTER followed by your USER key

help you maintain an accurate record of your nutritional intake.
ii.
Diet plans vary and it is common practice to review your food intake on a daily basis
to help you assess your eating pattern. The memory function on this scale can help you
do so efficiently. If you prefer to review your food intake on a less regular basis you can
record your food intake for a maximum period of 7 days. Your personal information will
continue to be retained even when the NUTRI-WEIGH is turned off.
f)
Adding ‘ABSENT’ Foods to Memory
If you are unable to use your NUTRI-WEIGH just before you eat certain foods do not
worry. The NUTRI-WEIGH has a feature that allows you to add your foods in your
own time without actually weighing the food. You can do this by following the
instructions below:
i.
Simply turn on your NUTRI-WEIGH and type in the name of the food you ate.
ii.
When the message ‘PLACE ITEM ON SCALE OR ENTER WEIGHT IN GRAMS’
appears on the upper display panel estimate the weight of the food you wish to
record in grams and manually enter the weight by pressing the appropriate
numbers on the key pad then press ENTER.
iii.
Press M+ followed by your USER key to add this to your memory.
TIP:
Remember, 1oz is approximately 28g
6. ADDING NEW FOODS TO THE NUTRI-WEIGH
The NUTRI-WEIGH allows you to customise the food list to suit your personal needs.
If there are certain foods that you eat that are not in the NUTRI-WEIGH they can be
added to the database. e.g. if you have a favourite breakfast cereal that is not listed,
you can use the nutritional values printed on the cereal pack to add this food to the
database. You can do this by following the instructions below:
a)
Turn the scale on and press MENU
b)
Using the SCROLL key to scroll down to "ADD FOOD ITEM TO MEMORY",
and then press ENTER
c)
Using the keypad, enter a name for the new food (see
Note i
below) then press ENTER.
d)
You will be prompted to type in the values for each nutritional category. ALWAYS
enter nutritional values as per 100g of product. For the G.I Value use the
appropriate alphabet keys to enter L for Low, M for Medium, and H for High
e)
Use the SCROLL buttons to scroll between the categories
f)
When you have entered all the values, press ENTER again to add the new food to memory.
Note:
i.
The FOOD NAME you choose is limited to 16 characters including spaces, and
cannot be the same as any other name already in the database.
ii.
Don’t worry if you don’t have data for some of the categories; you can leave these as zero.
TIP:
i.
Please take particular care when entering the value for sodium. Some food
manufacturers quote ‘mg’ of sodium and others quote ‘g’ of sodium. You need to enter
‘mg’ of sodium.To convert from ‘g’ to ‘mg’, multiply by 1000. For example, 0.5g sodium
= 500mg sodium.

7. ADDING YOUR RECIPES TO THE NUTRI-WEIGH
If you are weighing out ingredients for a recipe, you can use the ‘ADD RECIPE’ feature
to enter each ingredient into memory as you go. When you are done, the NUTRI-WEIGH
will total up the nutritional values of the ingredients and allow you to enter a name for
your recipe. It can then be stored in the database.
Note:
Before you add your recipes to the NUTRI-WEIGH, it is a good idea to check all
ingredients you need for your recipe are already featured in the NUTRI-WEIGH. If any
ingredients are not already featured they can be added to the NUTRI-WEIGH as
detailed above in Section 6.
To add your recipes to the NUTRI-WEIGH:
a)
Turn on the scale and press MENU
b)
Scroll to ‘ADD RECIPE TO MEMORY’ and then press ENTER
c)
Place your first ingredient on the scale, type the name of the ingredient and press ENTER
d)
Press M+ to add this ingredient to memory . Repeat the above step and press
M+ for all ingredients used in your recipe.
Note:
If you enter an ingredient incorrectly do not worry. Pressing CANCEL at anytime
during this stage deletes all ingredients that you have entered for this recipe so far and
allows you to start again.
e)
Press ENTER when you have added all ingredients and the message ‘TYPE IN
NAME OF RECIPE THEN PRESS ENTER’ will appear on the upper display
panel. Press ENTER
f)
Type in the name of your special recipe and press ENTER. Your recipe is now
stored in your NUTRI-WEIGH.
TIP:
You can enter a recipe without actually preparing the food by entering the weight of
each ingredient manually. (Please refer to section 5 f ) ‘Adding ABSENT Foods to
Memory’, for detailed instructions).
Note:
Please note that cooking at high temperatures can alter the nutritional values of
some foods. Therefore the values calculated by the ADD RECIPE feature may be altered
by the cooking process.
