Weight monitoring computer
First Claim
1. A weight monitoring apparatus for an individual user comprising:
- means for enabling a user to enter foods consumed for accumulating a total of calories consumed, means for storing environmental data to enable said user to define the time periods during which the user consumes meals, wherein said weight monitoring apparatus further comprises means for alerting the user if the user fails to enter the foods consumed during the defined times for the meals;
means for enabling said user to enter activities performed for accumulating a total of calories dissipated, and means for comparing calories consumed to calories dissipated to provide said user with an indication of whether the user will gain or lose weight in accordance with said comparison.

Abstract
There is disclosed a weight reduction computer or a weight monitoring computer, which essentially enables a user to key in the foods consumed during the course of the day and to key in the activities participated in during the course of the day. Both the foods consumed and the activities participated in result in a caloric intake. The amount of calories consumed versus the amount of calories dissipated are automatically computed and an indication is provided to the user indicative of whether or not he is embarking on a successful weight reduction program. The amount of calories dissipated based on the user'"'"'s exercise are accommodated according to the user'"'"'s personal data, such as his weight, sex, age and so on. The user can also insert particular activities or foods in the computer, together with their amount of appropriate calories so that the computer can offer personalized data for the user.

12. A weight monitoring apparatus for an industrial user comprising:
-
a processor including a main memory for storing a list of food items and the caloric content for a serving of each item, said memory including means for storing a list of activities which may be performed by said user and the caloric dissipation for each activity performed and including means for storing personal data indicative of said user, means coupled to said processor for enabling a user to enter foods consumed for accumulating a total of calories consumed by accessing said list of foods and selecting foods on said list as consumed by said user, and the calories absorbed with said consumed food, means for storing environmental data to enable said user to define the time periods during which the user consumes meals, wherein said weight monitoring apparatus further comprises means for alerting the user if the user fails to enter the foods consumed during the defined times for the meals;
storing in a first memory said calories associated with said consumed foods, means coupled to said processor for enabling a user to enter activities performed by said user by selecting said activity from said stored list and the caloric dissipation associated with said activity, storing in a second memory said calories associated with said activity, means for subtotaling the contents of said first memory with the contacts of said second memory to provide a weight indication of whether said individual has consumed or dissipated calories indicative of a potential weight gain or loss. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
