Does the app let you scan the barcode of a food item and automatically pull the nutrition facts to calculate the amount of each nutrient in the food?

No. The application doesn't have scanning capabilities. You can search the item and view more information on the nutritional facts

I didn't know if it would or not, so just tested. And it did! (Knew I had a recipe with swiss cheese, put in "swiss" and a bunch came up, including the one I wanted). Have to admit I haven't really used it much yet, as I haven't input all the recipes I want and don't seem to find the time. Other response about the insensitive screen is correct. I find using a stylus easier. I would like to get rid of the recipes that came on it, but haven't tried yet. One son said "you have an iPad", but I don't want it in the kitchen getting messed up.

it will not automatically populate the information about price paid, or even product name. this barcode scanner, like any other, just acts as a keyboard input that reads just the number of the barcode that you scan and enters it into whichever application you have open and active. That being said, you could use it in the search box of a site like amazon and it will return the product as a result of the search if its barcode has been properly entered by a seller.

yes it does, but not necessary for scanning. it will automatically scan when pointed at bar codes.

it doesn't track food only physical activity. You can track your food on the SparkPeople page. you can join for free. I highly recommend it.

The app is the Sparkpeople Diet Tracker...I gave it on my android so I would be surprised if there isn't an i Phone one. It cost $3.99 and is absolutely worth it!

From what I remember, it did but when you weighed the food it gave completely inaccurate readings. It was off.

It will read what ever your barcode indicates. If the barcode indicates "2" it will be read as "2" If it indicates "2 of 5" it will read "2 of 5"

Yes, I use it myself to tag dates of my food purchases. This makes me aware of which to use first. I also use it to tag boxes of electronic purchases. This helps me find the receipt on my charge statements.

The way I used it is this..scan your recipe. Access Cook'n. Hit the scan feature. Choose the recipe that you scanned from my scans. When the recipe shows up on the left, you highlight the item...i.e. "name", the in the box that has the functions, click name and it show up on the line for name. Do the same for description, ingredients and directions. Very easy. I love this feature. This option is available with Cook'n 11.

Yes! You can scan a recipe to a text file and drag the file to the clipping option of MacGourmet. I've done it many times with no difficulty. I also the copy the recipe image and paste it in.

Its part of the exercise portion of the diet and food tracker app...it is all in the same one!

This simply scans the information in the bar-code. without a database linking that bar-code to other information, this wouldn't do what you are asking of it.

Absolutely! You can weigh ingredients for cooking or any other purpose. The only thing that makes this scale different is that, in addition to showing the weight, it can show you the caloric value as well as the nutritional value of the ingredients, if you enter the code provided. Without the code, you just see the weight, which can be in grams or oz.

Yes, if you connect it to My Fitness Pal it will tell you you have burned so many calories and now have them to enjoy! There is a fork and knife on the UP application that you can put your foods eaten into. I haven't used it, but it tracks your foods. It is seriously one of my most favorite posessions, and many people at work are now wearing them.

Yes, it tells the amount of calories burned. It tracks steps, distance, calories burned, and fat burned.

There are codes for many raw ingredients in the booklet, but you can't save the values you entered for nutrients to a code (though that would be a nice feature) so they will need to be re-entered each time you turn it on. It may be quicker to calculate by hand after weighing, or if you're tracking many nutrients then enter the multipliers in a spreadsheet (a free Google documents spreadsheet, perhaps?)
