1. A metabolic energy monitoring system comprising:

  • a wearable device having a movement sensor, a temperature sensor and a pulse wave sensor and adapted to be worn on a human body;

    a database to store activity state decision knowledge data and calorie consumption calculation knowledge data, the activity state decision knowledge data including activity state decision condition data, the calorie consumption calculation knowledge data including a calorie consumption calculating algorithm for each metabolic state;

    an activity state decision unit to determine the activity state based on a detection signal from the wearable device and activity state decision knowledge data;

    a metabolic state decision unit to detect an activity continuation state from the signal of the wearable device, wherein if an activity is found continuing, the metabolic state decision unit determines a metabolic state for each activity state, wherein if an activity is found not continuing, the metabolic state decision unit checks whether the metabolism is increasing;

    a calorie consumption calculating unit to calculate a calorie consumption by changing the calorie consumption calculating algorithm according to the metabolic state; and

    an output unit to output the calorie consumption.
