Abstract
Disclosed is an improved wearable calorie calculator, which takes the degree of active strength and the quantity of basal metabolism into account to calculate the total number of calories consumed each day with precision, and which visually informs the wearer of the goal or outcome of exercises. The calorie calculator comprises: a housing 1 having a display D equipped therewith, the housing 1 being wearable to a selected part of one'"'"'s body; electrodes E1 and E2 for determining bioelectric impedance; momentum gauge means 190 responsive to three-dimensional body movements for determining the momentum of a wearer; cardiac rate measuring means 210; individual data inputting means 120; body fat percentage calculator means 130; basal metabolism calculator means 140; a daily consumption calorie calculator means 220; whereby at least the body fat percentage and the total number of calories consumed a day are given on the display D.
