Abstract

A device for storing and dispensing food items for a customizable nutrition supply is provided. The food items are loaded by the user, allowing customization of nutritional content and sequence. The device may be portable and operated with one hand, and is sufficiently sealed to store the food items securely, away from air, dust, and moisture. When the device is operated by being opened or triggered, it dispenses the next food item, so that the user may dispense the food item directly into the user's mouth. The device then closes or is closed.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The presently disclosed subject matter relates to storing and dispensing food items, and more specifically, to devices and methods for portable storage containers that protect food items, and that dispense the food items individually.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]People engaged in high-performance endeavors and endurance sports, such as triathlons, long-distance running, and long bicycle rides, have significant needs for nutrition during their competition or performance. In the course of a 50 km run or a 100 mile bike ride, a 160-lb person may burn 600 to 800 calories per hour. Furthermore, a person's nutritional needs are not limited solely to replacement of calories expended in the endeavor: endurance athletes also need to replace particular types of nutrition, and may need them at specific stages of the workout or competition. For example, an endurance athlete may need some fat content in his or her food at the start of a long workout, a higher perc...
