Multifunctional diet calculator
First Claim
1. A multifunctional diet calculator comprising:
- a user operable input for receiving at least one target amount of at least one food substance to be consumed by a user and information regarding actual consumption of food substances by the user;
a memory for storing target amounts of the at least one food substance and cumulative actual consumption thereof over a given period;
a computation unit for determining the relationship between the target amounts and the cumulative actual consumption;
an output device showing the relationship between the target amounts and the cumulative actual consumption;
a prompt unit responsive to the relationship between the target amounts and the cumulative actual consumption for providing at least one user sensible prompt during the given period for reminding the user to consume a food substance; and
a clock for providing timing information for at least the computation unit and the prompt unit.

12. A multifunctional diet calculation method comprising:
-
receiving from a user at least one target amount of at least one food substance to be consumed by a user and information regarding actual consumption of food substances by the user; storing target amounts of the at least one food substance for a given period and cumulative actual consumption thereof over the given period; determining the relationship between the target amounts and the cumulative actual consumption; outputting the relationship between the target amounts and the cumulative actual consumption; providing, responsive to said relationship, at least one user sensible prompt once the given period has elapsed for reminding the user to consume a food substance if actual consumption is less than said target amounts; and providing timing information for the prompt providing step.
