1. An exercise expenditure monitor device for measuring a caloric expenditure of a user comprising:

  • a heartbeat sensing device for detecting at least a heart rate of the user at exercise;

    a reference storage unit for storing a reference heart rate of the user before doing exercise;

    an individual physiology database for storing a data of physiology weighted value and a set of individual physiological parameters inputted by the user including sex, age and weight, in which one set of personal physiological parameters corresponds to a physiology weighted value which is a conversion factor for converting caloric expenditure from the heart rate;

    a calculating unit for processing and calculating a general caloric expenditure of the user according to an algorithm which includes dividing the heart rate difference between the exercise heart rate and the reference heart rate by the reference heart rate and multiplying by the physiology weighted value; and

    a display for displaying the caloric expenditure calculated by the calculating unit.
