    Diet scale is €15 in lidl

    That is a good price for any digital scale, dunno if you can enter or alter the values of the foods. Might be useful for those who are not great at the maths when trying to figure out portion control.

    Chinning bar looks OK, http://www.lidl.ie/ie/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20070924.p.ChinningBar
    Cheaper than argos, has nice padded sections, I have to wear gloves on the argos one. Also it looks like it twists from both sides. On the argos one it goes out one side only, so if you go to do wide grips when one hand is on a thinner bar than the other, I would prefer a symetrical bar.

    Some other gym stuff is there too, like those big yoga balls, and yoga mats, exercise bike, stepper.
    Has a body fat scale which most will say is not much use.

    Top man Rubadub, I'm off to get me one of those scales. I've pretty much got my diet sorted in terms of WHAT I eat and WHEN I eat, but now it's the HOW MUCH I have to sort out.

    I am wondering how it calculates the different quantities across a variety of foods, I presume you can enter the type of food somewhere and it does the rest or something...

    Not sure what that one will do. A good one will have a tare or add function. So you could put a bowl on, press tare (zero), and it goes to 0g, then pour in say oats, 60g, say 200kcal then click "add" 100g of milk, say 50kcal and then it should add the 2 food types individually and give you the combined readout of 250kcal, and what amount of protein/fat etc is in their.

    I would like to be able to adjust it as their own values might differ.

    Even if the diet side of things is not great it is a cheap digital scales. And I reckon portion control is a lot of peoples biggest problems.
