[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, as a method of calculating the amount of fat burning, an age-considered consumption energy coefficient is obtained from gender and age, and the consumption energy is obtained by multiplying the weight by the step-count coefficient. Fat combustion energy is determined by multiplying the consumed energy by the fat combustion efficiency obtained from the living behavior pattern. The amount of fat burning is determined from this fat burning energy.

[0010]
Furthermore, in the fat burning amount calculation device of the present invention, personal information input means for inputting gender, age and weight, step number input means for inputting step number during walking, storage means for storing an age-considered consumption energy coefficient, The age-considered energy consumption coefficient is determined from the gender and age from the personal information input means, and the energy consumption is calculated from the determined age-considered energy consumption coefficient and the weight from the personal information input means and the number of steps from the step number input means Energy consumption calculating means, pattern input means for inputting data related to life behavior patterns, fat burning efficiency calculating means for calculating fat burning efficiency from data from the pattern input means, and the calculated fat burning amount are displayed And display means.

[0033]
FIG. 4 is an external view of a pedometer as an apparatus using the method of calculating the amount of burned fat according to the present invention. The pedometer main body 1 is provided with a display unit 2, and at the bottom of the display unit 2, a power switch 3, a setting mode for inputting personal data of weight, a step number display mode for displaying a total step value, consumed energy value and fat mode button 4 for switching the three modes of energy consumption display mode for displaying the combustion amount in heat (kcal) or weight (g), up button 5 and down buttons 6 for use when entering the data, to confirm the input data A setting button 7 is provided.

[0040]
When the mode button 4 is pressed in the consumption energy display mode of step S8, the setting mode is set. In this setting mode, the triangle indication mark of the display unit 2 at the position corresponding to the character of "setting" described on the right side of the pedometer main body 1 is displayed (step S19). Next, it is determined whether or not the mode button 4 has been pressed. If the mode button 4 has been pressed, the process returns to the normal step number display mode. If the mode button 4 is not pressed, the setting is actually performed (step S20).
