Abstract

A fitness system may include a mobile device configured to, in response to receiving a caloric depletion rate based on data received from an activity tracker and a current food article having a caloric value, display a depiction of the food article defined by a difference between the caloric value and an aggregated caloric depletion based on the caloric depletion rate. The caloric depletion rate may include a basal metabolic rate. The depiction may further include an estimated aggregate caloric depletion region. The region may define a first subregion indicative of an increased caloric depletion rate. The region may define a second subregion indicative of a maintained caloric depletion rate. The data may be the caloric depletion rate. The activity tracker may be a heart rate monitor.

Claims

1. A fitness system comprising:

a mobile device, including a processor and a display and configured to communicate with an activity tracker, programmed to;

receive information indicative of a caloric burn rate from the activity tracker;

update an aggregated caloric depletion indicative of a cumulative count of burned calories according to the caloric burn rate; and

display a graphical representation of a food article on the display, the food article having a defined number of calories, the graphical representation including a removed region to indicate progress towards metabolizing the food article, the removed region being illustrated proportional in size to the aggregated caloric depletion compared to the defined number of calories of the food article.

2. The fitness system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is further configured to:

receive input indicative of the food article having been consumed or to be consumed; and

query a food database based on the input to retrieve the defined number of calories.

3. The fitness system of claim 2, wherein the mobile device is further configured to retrieve the graphical representation of the food article from the food database.

4. The fitness system of claim 1, wherein the food article is a card representative of a predefined number of calories.

5. The fitness system of claim 4, wherein the mobile device is operable to enable a user to shuffle a plurality of cards including the card, each of the plurality of cards representative of calories of a different food article.

6. The fitness system of claim 1, wherein the activity tracker is a heart rate monitor.

7. The fitness system of claim 1, wherein the activity tracker and the mobile device are unitary.

8. The fitness system of claim 7, wherein the activity tracker and mobile device are housed in exercise equipment.

9. A method comprising:

displaying by a processor real-time indicia of an original caloric content of a food article defined by regions representative of a residual caloric content of the food article and a spent caloric content of the food article such that a sum of the residual caloric content and the spent caloric content is the original caloric content of the food article, wherein each caloric component of the indicia is an equal proportion of the original caloric content.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the spent caloric content is equal to a caloric depletion rate based over a period originating during selection of the food article.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the caloric depletion rate is based on data received from an activity tracker.

12. A fitness system comprising:

a mobile device configured to, in response to receiving a caloric depletion rate based on data received from an activity tracker and a current food article having a caloric value, display a depiction of the food article defined by a difference between the caloric value and an aggregated caloric depletion based on the caloric depletion rate.

13. The fitness system of claim 12, wherein the caloric depletion rate includes a basal metabolic rate.

14. The fitness system of claim 13, wherein the depiction further includes an estimated aggregate caloric depletion region.

15. The fitness system of claim 14, wherein the region defines a first subregion indicative of an increased caloric depletion rate.

16. The fitness system of claim 15, wherein the region defines a second subregion indicative of a maintained caloric depletion rate.

17. The fitness system of claim 12, wherein the data is the caloric depletion rate.

18. The fitness system of claim 12, wherein the activity tracker is a heart rate monitor.

19. The fitness system of claim 12, wherein the caloric value is obtained from a food database.

20. The fitness system of claim 12, wherein the aggregated caloric depletion is equal to a product of the caloric depletion rate and a time period.

21. The fitness system of claim 20, wherein the time period begins when the article is consumed.
