8. An apparatus for portably measuring calories, the apparatus comprising:
-
an Inter-Digital Capacitor (IDC) sensor in contact with skin, which is for measuring an amount of sweat generated from the skin; a control part for controlling the IDC sensor to perform or stop measurement, and to transmit a measured resultant value; a display part for displaying the measured resultant value received from the control part, in real time; and a memory part for storing the measured resultant value received from the control part. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
