Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for lifestyle management. These systems and method can comprise selecting a lifestyle, scanning a product consumed wherein a unique identifier associated with the product is stored, transferring the unique identifier to a database, receiving nutritional information associated with the unique identifier, and receiving dietary progress analysis based on the selected lifestyle and the product consumed. The lifestyle can be weight loss, weight gain, or weight maintenance.

Claims

1. A system for lifestyle management, comprising:

a lifestyle selection unit for receiving a user selected lifestyle;

a scanner for reading and storing a unique identifier associated with a product consumed;

a unique identifier upload unit for transferring the unique identifier from the scanner to a user database;

a nutrition database comprising nutritional information associated with a plurality of consumable products wherein each consumable product has an associated unique identifier;

a nutrition information association unit for retrieving nutrition information of a consumed product from the nutrition database based on the unique identifier in the user database that is associated with the product consumed; and

a nutritional monitor unit for providing dietary feedback to a user based on the user selected lifestyle in relation to the product consumed.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the user selected lifestyle selected is selected from the group consisting of weight maintenance;

weight loss; and

weight gain.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the lifestyle selection unit is configured for determining a goal weight;

determining a time frame for reaching the goal weight; and

determining an average caloric intake required to reach the goal weight.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the scanner is selected from the group consisting of a bar code scanner;

a camera; and

an RFID reader.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising a meal creation unit, wherein a user can select at least one serving of at least one scanned consumable product to comprise a meal.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a bar code generator for creating a bar code representing a meal.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the nutritional monitor unit is configured for generating a chart displaying nutritional intake over time.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the nutritional monitor unit is configured for generating a chart displaying user measurements entered by the user.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the nutritional monitor unit is configured for generating a chart displaying nutritional intake over time against the user selected lifestyle.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the nutritional monitor unit is configured for generating a chart displaying measurements entered by the user.

11. A method for lifestyle management, comprising:

receiving a user selected lifestyle;

receiving a unique identifier from a scanner wherein the unique identifier is associated with a product consumed;

providing nutritional information associated with the unique identifier; and

providing dietary progress analysis based on the user selected lifestyle and the product consumed.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the user lifestyle selected is selected from the group consisting of weight maintenance;

weight loss; and

weight gain.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the scanner is selected from the group consisting of a bar code scanner;

a camera; and

an RFID reader.

14. The method of claim 11, further comprising receiving a user selected at least one serving of at least one scanned consumable product to comprise a meal.

15. The method of claim 11, further comprising generating a bar code representing a meal.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein the dietary progress analysis provided is selected from the group consisting of a display of nutritional intake over time;

a display of user measurements entered by the user;

a display of nutritional intake over time against the selected lifestyle; and

a display of measurements entered by the user.

17. A method for lifestyle management, comprising:

selecting a lifestyle;

scanning a product consumed wherein a unique identifier associated with the product is stored;

transferring the unique identifier to a database;

receiving nutritional information associated with the unique identifier; and

receiving dietary progress analysis based on the selected lifestyle and the product consumed.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the lifestyle selected is selected from the group consisting of weight maintenance;

weight loss; and

weight gain.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein the scanner is selected from the group consisting of a bar code scanner;

a camera; and

an RFID reader.

20. The method of claim 17, further comprising selecting at least one serving of at least one scanned consumable product to comprise a meal.

21. The method of claim 17, further comprising generating a bar code representing a meal.

22. The method of claim 17, further comprising printing a bar code.

23. The method of claim 17, wherein the dietary progress analysis received is selected from the group consisting of a display of nutritional intake over time;

a display of user measurements entered by the user;

a display of nutritional intake over time against the user selected lifestyle; and

a display of measurements entered by the user.
