>They have a scale similar to what you'd see at a doctor's office. I'd trust that a lot more than the $15 Walmart scale I have at home.
Bad logic, although understandable. Those scales get used a LOT ancd commercial scales have to constantly be tweaked and recalibrated. My home scale is extremely accurate and my gym scale is way off, one of my gyms has an Omron and the other a Tanita, both expensive commercial / medical grade scales. Don't assume your gym is getting them their proper maintenece.
I've purchased every damn type of scale there is, about 5 "smart" scales at this point, an Omron medical grade one, and this is what I use now.

Best scale I've ever had, it's fast all hell, acurrate as hell and it does ONE thing, it weighs shit.
Maybe it's easier just to buy a new scale. I've got this one and it syncs with Google Fit perfectly. It also does 0.1 lb precision, instead of 0.2, like most of the cheaper ones.
I also have a Renpho scale, but got the Wifi model so I can weigh in and open the app when I get a chance rather than have my phone ready to go at 6am. Happens to be cheaper too. I use an iPhone but yes, it syncs to the renpho app, and once you open the app, it'll sync to Apple Health (and presumably Google health works the same), and then when you open MF it'll pull in the synced weight and BF%.

I also have their digital BT measuring tape (which syncs to the same app as the scale) and a percussion massage gun. Been happy with all their products so far.
Keep tracking food.
In the future, I would recommend bringing a scale with you. I work 24 hour shifts and I travel often (car and plane) and I bring my scale with me.
I use this scale. It fits in my backpack. It's the size of a large laptop and is half the weight.
I use this scale. It fits in my backpack, which is my personal item in flight. It's the size of a large laptop and weighs less than a laptop.
I'm kind of a shill for America's Test Kitchen. This is the one they recommend. We have one as well.

Hey there, we didn't forget, the methodology we used to choose which apps to test was looking at the top charts, and adding in a few extras because they were commonly mentioned in our communities.
Because this app isn't in the top charts, and nobody in our community mentioned it, we didn't test it.
Logging using a favorited system isn't a use case in the FLSI, because it wasn't considered a core logging workflow, if the FLSI is expanded in the future to include secondary logging workflows, we will add that use case.
the fastest counter by far is
...which you unfortunately forgot to test ;)
Looging ones favorite food in ones favorite servings (for me e.g. one egg, 1 banana, 1 kiwi, my cup of youghurt etc) is literally one(!) tap
I throw a scoop or two of these pea protein puffs in cereal or yogurt. Taste is similar to grape nuts. 15g protein per 25g 100 cal serving. I also add them to oatmeal. https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Life-Pea-Protein-Puffs/dp/B08596H1HQ
A quick search on Amazon seems to suggest there's quite a few that will do it.
You will have to import/sync the data through another app, MFP/Fitbit.
E.g.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00O5U4NDQ/ref=psdcmw_678508011_t3_B07FCZSC41
Not 100% confident they will work, so I'd check thoroughly, but they mention integrations with Apple Health, Fitbit and MFP so I don't see why they wouldn't.
Any clue as to when we can expect Apple Health integration for nutritional data? Love MacroFactor, but I sync Apple Health with Beeminder, so I might stick with MyFitnessPal until then.
I would love to see a pie chart of the amino acid breakdown of a food or meal. I am vegetarian and like to e.g. answer "if I combine a quarter cup dry quinoa with a half cup pea protein crumbles, what does the combined amino acid profile look like?"
I can see in numerical form in the recipe, but it's hard for me to grok "how close does this look to whey" than if I could see it in a pie chart—the latter would be more helpful at a glance.
For everyone here +1'ing the Withings scale, which scale are you buying? I see 3 Withings scales with Wifi on amazon $230, $200, and $260, this being the cheapest Withigns SMart Body Compositive Wi-Fi Digital Scale for $160.
I see much cheaper either Bluetooth or Wifi scales available, are the Withings worth the premium?
I like Wirecutter for product reviews and they recommened a Greater Goods or Eufy https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-smart-scales/#the-competition and say
> The Withings Body is a user-friendly Wi-Fi model that delivers useful on-scale customization (including local weather reports), IFTTT support, and a pregnancy mode (which disables BIA). However, out of 96 test weigh-ins, nine of this scale’s readings were more than half a pound off.
