1. A behavior assessment and modification device comprising:
- a strap for fastening the device about a user'"'"'s limb;
a data interface, said data interface configured to;
receive input by the user and calculating a maximum number of bites per meal, wherein the input comprises at least the user'"'"'s age, weight, gender, and height;
interface data with an external computer; and
calculate an adjusted maximum number of bites after data is interfaced with the external computer;
a sensor for detecting movement by the user;
a processor for processing movement data detected by the sensor and interpreting the movement data according to the input received from a user;
a memory component for storing the input received from the user, the movement data, and the interpretations of the movement data; and
a signaling component for alerting the user when the adjusted maximum number of bites is reached according to the processed movement data.

11. A method for assessment and modifying a certain behavior, the method comprising:
-
receiving input from a user into a behavior assessment and modification device, the input comprising at least the user'"'"'s age, weight, gender, and height; using the received input to calculate a maximum number of bites per meal; interfacing data with an external computer, wherein the maximum number of bites is adjusted after data is interfaced with the external computer; sensing movement by the user; interpreting movement data from the user'"'"'s movements and determining that the user is taking bites; and alerting the user when the adjusted maximum number of bites is reached. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
