ABSTRACT:
Electronic scales to efficiently control the amount of calories consumed include at least one weight or force sensor, a data processing unit having a memory unit, a control and input keyboard and a display device. The scales include an active bearing surface functionally connected to the weight or force sensor(s) and adapted to receive a plate of food or similar container, and the data processing unit is installed with a program which calculates the equivalent calorie value for each meal, in the form of liquid and/or solid food, based on the amount of weighed food and the stored or manually input weight-related calorie content of the meal, finally, the other food of a meal is added to the equivalent calorie content and a total value of calories of the daily consumed meal is calculated. The value is stored, displayed and/or printed out and the storage unit stores pre-programmed desired values.
