ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for determining the energy balance of a living subject on the basis of the energy use and on the basis of nutrition intake, the energy balance is calculated on the basis of a determined energy use of the subject and on the basis of an input of the nutrition intake of the subject via an input unit. This calculation takes place in a calculating unit supplied with a signal corresponding to the energy use, using a value of the calorific value of the food that can be obtained from a memory. A signal corresponding to this energy balance can be generated on a display unit.
