Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a way for users to easily measure the amount of food they consume for a specific period of time. This is especially useful for energy boosting products that contain caffeine, as users don't want to consume more than what they need for a few hours of energy. The invention allows users to see the remaining amount of food in the container and markings on the product that indicate how long it will be active in their body. This helps users to estimate when the food will be out of their system.

Problems solved by technology

Consuming more product than necessary in this case would be detrimental to sleep.
