Method of Regulating Caloric Intake
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining steady state values for daily caloric parameters that conform a person to weight management goal, the daily caloric parameters comprising a daily base metabolic rate (BMR) and a target offset from a daily total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), wherein the TDEE comprises the BMR;
determining an intake shortfall for a plurality of days, the shortfall comprising a sum of daily shortfalls between actual daily offsets and the steady state target offset;
making a recommendation comprising food to be consumed to reduce the shortfall, the recommendation effective to account for a transient change in a hunger response resulting from the consumption of the recommended food;
causing consumption on an up adjustment day; and
determining transient values for at least one of the daily caloric parameters to be used subsequent to the consumption on the up-adjustment day effective to bring an average of the actual daily offsets closer to the steady state target offset.

Abstract
A method, including: determining steady state values for daily caloric parameters that conform a person to weight management goal, the daily caloric parameters including a daily base metabolic rate (BMR) and a target offset from a daily total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), wherein the TDEE includes the BMR; determining an intake shortfall for a plurality of days between actual daily offsets and the steady state target offset; making a recommendation including food to be consumed to reduce the shortfall, the recommendation effective to account for a transient change in a hunger response resulting from the consumption of the recommended food; causing consumption on an up adjustment day; and determining transient values for at least one of the daily caloric parameters to be used subsequent to the consumption on the up-adjustment day effective to bring an average of the actual daily offsets closer to the steady state target offset.

15. A method, comprising:
-
determining a steady state value for a target offset from a daily total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) that conforms a person to a weight management goal; causing a change in caloric intake for a plurality of days and responsive to the steady state value for the target offset; determining an intake shortfall for the plurality of days, the shortfall comprising a sum of daily shortfalls between actual daily offsets and the steady state target offset; and making a recommendation comprising food to be consumed to reduce the shortfall, wherein the recommendation comprises a total caloric impact comprising a caloric value of the food to be consumed and a hunger response allotment for a caloric impact of the recommended food on a hunger response, wherein the hunger response allotment is calculated based on a composition of appetite-stimulating constituents in the recommended food and considers an effect the appetite-stimulating constituents will have on a steady state hunger response. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A method, comprising:
-
determining a steady state value for a target offset from a daily total daily energy expenditure (TDEE); determining an intake shortfall for a plurality of days, the shortfall comprising a sum of daily shortfalls between actual daily offsets and the steady state target offset; determining surplus calories actually consumed above the steady state target offset from the TDEE for an up-adjustment day; determining an unmet intake shortfall by subtracting the surplus calories from the shortfall; spreading out the unmet shortfall over at least one day and by a respective daily amount; including the respective daily amount in a target intake for a respective day; and causing consumption of the unmet shortfall. - View Dependent Claims (20)
