1. A system for nutritional substances comprising:
- a reader for detecting a dynamic information identifier provided with a nutritional substance;
a database with conditioning protocols referenced to the dynamic information identifier and related to a Δ
N of the nutritional substance;
a weight measurement sensor for detecting the weight of the nutritional substance wherein the weight measurement sensor is incorporated in an electronic scale;
a controller configured to determine prospective nutritional values based on the Δ
N of the nutritional substance and data output by the weight measurement sensor; and
a display for outputting the prospective nutritional values of the substance based on the Δ
N determined by the controller.
