Problems solved by technology

However, regarding the calorie balance, although the basal metabolism can be calculated from the body weight, the user must record in detail the calories absorbed from diet and the calories burned from physical activity
As a result, it is often difficult for users to manage their calorie budget on a consistent basis

Embodiment Construction

[0034] 1 Overview

[0035] The main feature of the present invention is to estimate the calorie balance based on the concentration of acetone contained in the gas discharged from the human body (hereinafter referred to as the acetone concentration). As a result of investigating measures to solve the problem of easily managing the calorie balance, the inventor of the present invention found a correlation between the acetone concentration and the calorie balance. Here, the gas discharged from the human body includes gas or exhaled breath from the skin or mucous membranes, and is also called biogas.

[0036] Acetone is a metabolite produced by the burning and decomposition of body fat in organisms. It is known that after being discharged into the blood due to metabolism, acetone is released as a biogas through the lungs, skin, mucous membranes, and the like. Therefore, measuring the acetone concentration in biogas can be used to grasp the status of body fat burning. It should be no...

Abstract

A computation device 200 is equipped with: an acquisition unit 12 that acquires the acetone concentration of a gas component that is released from a user and is measured; an estimation unit 13 that, on the basis of a predetermined correlation between the acetone concentration and a caloric balance, estimates the caloric balance corresponding to the acetone concentration acquired by the acquisition unit 12; and a process execution unit 14 that uses the estimation result from the estimation unit 13 to execute a prescribed process.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technology for managing the consumption or intake of calories (ie, energy) by a user. Background technique [0002] In recent years, lifestyle-related diseases have worsened, among which lifestyle habits related to diet, smoking, and drinking are the origins of these diseases. Moreover, various preventive measures and improvement measures related to obesity, which increase the risk of lifestyle-related diseases, are being studied. [0003] Generally speaking, in order to prevent or control obesity, it is important to control the calorie balance. The calorie balance refers to the difference obtained by subtracting the consumed calories from the taken in calories, and is also called the calorie balance. Also, the calories that have been consumed include calories consumed due to basal metabolism and physical activity (exercise, etc.). [0004] In order to achieve weight loss, it is necessary to manage diet and exercise to achi...
