1. A fitness management method comprising:
- collecting food intake information for actual or expected food intake of a user over a first period of time and converting the food intake information into food intake units for the first period of time;
collecting activity information for actual or expected activity by the user over the first period of time and converting the activity information into activity units for the user for the first period of time;
collecting weight information representing a change in weight of the user over the first period of time;
calculating, via a computing device, a calculated intrinsic metabolic rate for the user for the first period of time;
collecting food intake information for actual or expected food intake of a user over a second period of time and converting the food intake information into food intake units for the second period of time;
collecting activity information for actual or expected activity of a user over the second period of time and converting the activity information into activity units for the second period of time;
calculating, via the computing device, a predicted change in weight for the second period of time based upon the calculated intrinsic metabolic rate for the user over the first period of time;
collecting weight information representing an actual change in weight of the user over the second period of time;
comparing the predicted change in weight for the second period of time to the actual change in weight for the second period of time;
determining, via the computing device, an updated calculated intrinsic metabolic rate for the user based at least in part upon the difference between the predicted change in weight for the second period of time and the actual change in weight for the second period of time.

Abstract
A health and fitness management system is provided that has a health and fitness application operating, e.g., on a smart phone, that can wirelessly communicate with an activity module worn on the user which has an accelerometer. The application accepts food and weight inputs (e.g., from the smart phone) and user activity units (e.g., from the activity unit) and develops a user intrinsic metabolism. The application includes fitness arc and health quotient graphical indicators that guide the user on health and fitness activities.

16. A fitness management method comprising:
-
collecting food intake information for actual or expected food intake of a user over a first period of time, including at least a part or parts of a first week, and converting the food intake information into food intake units for the first period of time; collecting activity information for actual or expected activity by the user over the first period of time and converting the activity information into activity units for the user for the first period of time; collecting weight information representing a change in weight of the user over the first period of time; calculating, via a computing device, a calculated intrinsic metabolic rate for the user for the first period of time; collecting food intake information for actual or expected food intake of the user over a second period of time, including at least a part or parts of a second subsequent week, and converting the food intake information into food intake units for the second period of time; collecting activity information for actual or expected activity of a user over the second period of time and converting the activity information into activity units for the second period of time; calculating, via the computing device, a predicted change in weight for the second period of time based upon the calculated intrinsic metabolic rate for the user over the first period of time; collecting weight information representing an actual change in weight of the user over the second period of time; comparing the predicted change in weight for the second period of time to the actual change in weight for the second period of time; determining, via the computing device, an updated calculated intrinsic metabolic rate for the user based at least in part upon the difference between the predicted change in weight for the second period of time and the actual change in weight for the second period of time. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
