ABSTRACT:
A calorie monitoring device is provided for providing a visual output which compares the number of calories burned by an individual versus the calorie intake for the individual. The device has a keyboard which functions as a first input to input the calorie intake of the individual. The calorie intake input is applied to a first calculator through an interface and the calculator adds the calorie intake input to the total calorie intake in storage and displays the new total calorie intake. The keyboard also functions as a second input to receive a value indicative of the calories burned per unit of time for the individual under normal conditions. This value is applied to a second calculator through the interface circuit. The second calculator calculates and displays the total number of calories burned during a total time period which extends over a plurality of the predetermined time periods. Thus, the second calculator provides an output which is a real time display of the total calories burned by the individual.
The device also includes an exercise mode circuit which controls the second calculator to add, to the total calories burned, additional calories when the individual exercises. The exercise mode circuit can be adjusted to add calories burned which are indicative of the level of exercise being performed.
