1. A caloric energy balance monitor comprising:

  • (a) an input mechanism adapted to accept input parameters specifying;

    base metabolic rate (BMR), physical activity, caloric consumption, and actual changes in body fat or body fat percentage, for an individual;

    (b) a processing mechanism, coupled to the input mechanism, for using the input parameters to calculate an iterative self-improving correction factor by comparing predicted and actual changes in body fat percentage for the individual;

    (c) wherein the processing mechanism uses the correction factor in subsequent computations of predicted changes in body fat percentage so as to improve accuracy of the predicted changes.
