1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computer processors coupled to at least one memory, a first user input from a user indicative of a meal event initiation;
identifying a first food item;
receiving first accelerometer data indicative of a first gesture;
associating the first gesture with the first food item;
identifying a second food item;
receiving second accelerometer data indicative of a second gesture;
associating the second gesture with the second food item;
detecting a motion event;
determining that the motion event corresponds to the first gesture;
triggering, based at least in part on the motion event, a force measurement;
determining a weight based at least in part on force data from the force measurement;
identifying nutritional information associated with the first food item;
automatically determining that a food consumption event is complete based at least in part on a change in force; and
determining consumed nutrition values based at least in part on the weight and the nutritional information associated with the first food item.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for dynamic nutrition tracking with utensils. In an example embodiment, a food consumption utensil may include a handle portion, a food loading portion adjacent to the handle portion, the food loading portion having a first surface and a second surface, and a controller positioned within the handle portion. The food consumption utensil may include an accelerometer positioned within the handle portion and in communication with the controller, and a force measurement device configured to measure a force imparted at the first surface of the food loading portion.

8. A device comprising:
-
at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to; determine a first user input from a user indicative of a meal event initiation; determine a first food item; determine first accelerometer data indicative of a first gesture; associate the first gesture with the first food item; determine a second food item; determine second accelerometer data indicative of a second gesture; associate the second gesture with the second food item; detect a motion event; determine that the motion event corresponds to the first gesture; cause, based at least in part on the motion event, a force measurement; determine a weight based at least in part on force data from the force measurement; determine nutritional information associated with the first food item; determine that a food consumption event is complete based at least in part on a change in force; and determine consumed nutrition values based at least in part on the weight and the nutritional information associated with the first food item. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
