Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a calorie calculator which calculates and displays a balance between consumed calories and ingested calories, which is a guideline for calorie control necessary for diet and prevention of adult diseases.

いる。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] A pedometer and a data input means are provided to estimate the amount of exercise, and personal data such as sex, age, height, and weight, and calories consumed by eating and drinking are input to burn calories per day. There are commercially available calorie calculators that calculate and display the balance of calories ingested.
【０００３】１日の消費カロリーは、基礎代謝と生活活
動による運動の消費カロリーを合計して求める。運動の
消費カロリーは、運動強度と運動時間の積によって求め

値を実測によって求める。このように、消費カロリーは
基礎代謝をベースに本来計算すべきものである。The daily calorie consumption is obtained by summing the calorie consumption of exercise due to basal metabolism and daily activities. The calorie consumption for exercise is calculated by the product of exercise intensity and exercise time. The exercise intensity is, for example, 3.0 for walking and 7.0 for running, and quantifies how many times each exercise consumes energy of basal metabolism, and obtains these values by actual measurement. . Thus, calorie consumption should be calculated based on basal metabolism.

要がある。[0004] Basal metabolism is the basic amount of energy consumed by the body, which varies depending on the age and weight. When the muscles where energy is consumed increases, the body consumes more energy and the basal metabolism also increases. . Conversely, when muscle mass decreases, there are fewer places to burn fat, which lowers basal metabolism and leads to obesity. in this way,
Basal metabolism is proportional to muscle mass, so to find a basal metabolism that is close to the actual value, not only sex, age, height, and weight, but also lean mass, which is an index that shows muscle mass excluding body fat from body weight It is necessary to calculate based on For this purpose, it is necessary to measure the human body impedance and calculate the body fat percentage.

されていた。However, since the conventional calorie calculator does not have a function of measuring the human body impedance,
Basal metabolism was estimated based only on age, height, and weight. For this reason, there is an essential defect in which a so-called sportsman with a lot of muscle and an obese person with a lot of fat cannot be distinguished, and basal metabolism was also estimated to be the same even in a person with apparently different muscle mass.

た。Further, the conventional calorie calculator only calculates and displays the balance between the consumed calories and the ingested calories, and there is no concrete display of the results of calorie control. For this reason, it was not possible to evaluate whether or not the calorie control currently being performed is appropriate.

The purpose was to display the body fat percentage so that the results of calorie control could be grasped concretely.

That is, the relationship between the two variables, the human body impedance Z and the AC voltage V detected by the detection side circuit, is applied to the regression line Z = k · V + C0. Then, the same predetermined AC voltage as when measuring the human body impedance Z is applied to both ends of the two resistors R1 and R2 whose resistance values are known, and the AC voltage V generated at both ends of the resistors R1 and R2 is detected. A proportional constant k and a fixed constant C0 of the regression line are obtained.

A pedometer has a magnet attached to a pendulum that vibrates when walking, and the reed switch is turned on / off by the magnet to count the number of steps of a foot that is moved by walking. In addition, walking faster increases the stride and pitch, and increases vertical movement of the body. The difference in the way of walking is detected by the acceleration sensor, which distinguishes between walking and running. The acceleration sensor measures the relative displacement of the weight attached to the spring with a strain gauge, or detects the electric charge generated in proportion to the displacement of the weight using a piezoelectric element instead of the spring to measure the acceleration. Alternatively, the acceleration may be measured by detecting the induced electromotive force generated when the coil fixed to the weight in the magnetic field moves.

式を数式３に示す。The calorie consumption calculation means 16 calculates the calorie consumption from the beginning to the end of the day based on the basal metabolism and the amount of exercise. The energy consumption of daily living activities is
Energy consumption varies depending on the type and intensity of exercise and time, and depending on exercise intensity. Energy metabolic rate is used to express this exercise intensity. The energy metabolism rate expresses how many times the basal metabolic rate becomes, by subtracting the metabolic rate at rest from the metabolic rate during exercise to obtain the metabolic rate used only for exercise. Here, the amount of metabolism at rest is
Set 1.2 times the basal metabolic rate. Equation 3 shows the formula for calculating the energy metabolism rate.

The amount (1.2 times the basal metabolic rate) is added, and these values are calculated by exercising time (minutes).

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the difference in muscle mass depending on the amount of body fat is reflected in the calculation, it is possible to calculate the basal metabolism close to the actual value. For this reason, the calculation error due to the difference in body type is reduced, so that there is no problem in applying to a sportsman type or an obese type person. Further, the calorie calculator of the present invention displays the body fat percentage calculated by measuring the human body impedance. Therefore,
According to the present invention, the result of calorie control is visible depending on the body fat percentage, so that the effect of calorie control can be maintained for a long time. In addition, since changes in body fat are visible, goals are set, efforts are motivated, and concentration is increased, so that a sufficient effect can be achieved in a short period of time.
