Description

  The present invention relates to a food container such as a lunch box configured so that an allowable calorie per meal determined for a diabetic patient can be easily calculated, and a subcontainer that can be accommodated in the food container.

  Currently, one out of every six adults is said to have diabetes, and health awareness to prevent and overcome lifestyle-related diseases is increasing.

  Under these circumstances, the public has been supporting the daily activities of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the daily awareness campaign by the media, and has gained a lot of knowledge about the effectiveness of each individual food. When it is said that it is effective in prevention, it has called a social aspect that should be called a kind of epidemic, in which young and old men and women gather and eat the food.

  However, in order to prevent adult diseases and achieve healthy life for many years, it is important to eat such effective foods, but it is said that this alone cannot escape from lifestyle-related diseases. Is not an exaggeration.

  What is important is that it is important to take effective food in a balanced and appropriate amount.

  For this purpose, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has established six basic food group tables, exemplifies a plurality of representative foods within each food group, clearly indicates the daily possible intake weight for each representative food, I am trying to use it for the prevention or treatment of urine.

Conventionally, in response to such activities of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, an invention relating to a “food and nutrition balance display lunch box” is known (see Patent Document 1).
JP 2002-360328 A.

  According to the invention disclosed in Patent Literature 1, the inside of the lunch box is divided into six parts, and the nutritional balance is displayed by displaying food names or patterns representing the six basic food groups in each compartment. It was used for the convenience of judgment.

  In the lunch box configured in this way, according to the food name displayed in each compartment, it is easy to check whether the balanced food is packed in the lunch box by containing the food corresponding to each compartment. By doing so, it is expected that a habit of paying attention to the nutritional balance of food will be born naturally and a healthier diet will be achieved.

  However, if the above conventional lunch box is used, it can be said that it is a suitable food container in terms of nutritional balance by selecting and storing food from the six basic food groups, but it is sure to prevent or treat lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes. In order to secure a healthy life, it is necessary not only to consider the nutritional balance by ingesting various foods, but also to manage the intake of heat per day. In a conventional lunch box, it can be said that this intake of heat is not completely managed.

  Therefore, in view of this point, the present invention provides a food container such as a lunch box configured to easily manage the nutritional balance as well as the calorie intake (Kcal), and a subdivided container that can be accommodated in the food container. The purpose is to provide.

  A sub-container that can be accommodated in a food container such as a lunch box according to the present invention is a sub-container that is accommodated in a food container such as a lunch box and configured to separate and pack a plurality of foods, The inner container constituting the subdivided container is formed in a volume capable of accommodating a weight that can be ingested by a predetermined amount of heat determined for each type of food.

  According to the above invention, as for the inner containers constituting the subdivided containers, for example, if each having a capacity comparable to the ingestible capacity of the individual foods in the six basic food groups is prepared, Each of the six basic foods is packed with individual foods, so that nutrition can be balanced and each individual food that is comparable to the volume in each of the inner containers can be taken care of for each individual food. For example, the intake of heat for one meal can be calculated without calculating the amount of heat.

  Further, the subdivided container that can be accommodated in a food container such as a lunch box according to the present invention is configured such that the predetermined heat amount is displayed on the inner container in the invention together with the name of the food and the weight with which the predetermined heat amount can be ingested. It is a feature.

  According to the above invention, by adding the load (weighted) average calorific value displayed on the inner container, the caloric intake of the whole food container such as the lunch box can be easily calculated, and the day (or once) It will be possible to easily manage the intake of heat per unit.

  Further, in the subdivided container that can be accommodated in a food container such as a lunch box according to the present invention, the indication of the inner container is a color of the inner container or a label formed on the inner container. Is.

  According to the above invention, the individual food to be packed in the inner container can be easily identified by the container color or the sticker label of each inner container, and nutritional balance and a balanced diet are possible. Since the load (weighted) average calorific value for each box is displayed, adding the load (weighted) average calorific value displayed on the inner container makes it easy to intake the amount of heat in the food container as a whole. It can be calculated, and the intake of heat per day or serving can be easily managed.

  A food container such as a lunch box according to the present invention is a food container such as a lunch box configured to accommodate a plurality of small containers configured to divide and pack a plurality of foods. Is formed in a volume capable of accommodating a weight that can receive a predetermined amount of heat determined for each type of food.

  According to the above invention, as for the inner containers constituting the subdivided containers, for example, if each having a capacity comparable to the ingestible capacity of the individual foods in the six basic food groups is prepared, Each of the six basic foods is packed with individual foods, so that nutrition can be balanced and each individual food that is comparable to the volume in each of the inner containers can be taken care of for each individual food. For example, it is possible to calculate the intake of heat for one day or one meal without calculating the amount of heat.

  In addition, the food container such as a lunch box according to the present invention is divided into a volume in which a part or all of the outer container constituting the food container can accommodate a weight capable of ingesting a predetermined amount of heat determined for each type of food. It is characterized by being formed.

  According to the above-described invention, the food container itself can be packed, for example, for one day or one meal without having to calculate the amount of heat for each individual food by simply filling the amount of the individual food equivalent to the volume in the outer container. The amount of heat intake can be calculated.

  Further, the food container such as a lunch box according to the present invention is characterized in that the predetermined heat amount is displayed together with the food name and the weight capable of ingesting the predetermined heat amount for each division of the outer container constituting the lunch box. To do.

  According to the above invention, by adding the load (weighted) average calorific value displayed on the outer container, the caloric intake of the whole food container such as the lunch can be easily calculated, and the day (or once) It will be possible to easily manage the intake of heat per unit.

  In addition, in the food container such as a lunch box according to the present invention, the indication for each of the divisions of the outer container constituting the lunch box is a container color of the outer container of the outer container or a label formed on the outer container. It is characterized by.

  According to the above invention, the caloric intake of individual foods packed in each divided volume configured by appropriately dividing the outer container can be easily calculated, and the management of the caloric intake per day (or once) is managed. Can be easily done.

  According to the present invention configured as described above, a plurality of inner containers constituting the subdivided containers are prepared if each has a capacity comparable to the ingestible capacity of the individual foods in the six basic food groups. Each individual food that is determined for each of the six basic foods can be balanced in each inner container, so that nutrition can be balanced, and each individual food that is comparable to the volume in each inner container can be packed individually. For example, the amount of heat consumed for one meal can be calculated without troublesome calorie calculation for each food.

  Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  According to the embodiment of the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a food container such as a lunch box 1 is configured to be accommodated in an outer container 2 and an outer container 2 constituting the outermost frame. And the inner container 3 as a subdivided container.

  The inner container 3 further has a medium-capacity inner container 5 that is equivalent to 1/3 of the inner-capacity inner container 4 that is equivalent to approximately 2/3 of the capacity of the outer container 2, and further, the inner-capacity inner container 4 or 5 A plurality of small-capacity containers 6, 7, and 8 that can be accommodated in the container, and a plurality of containers are prepared according to the type of food and the amount of heat consumed.

  Then, assuming that the small capacity inner container 8 is the minimum capacity inner container, and the volume that can be accommodated in this is one unit 枡, the small capacity inner container 7 has a volume of about 2 unit 枡, and the small capacity inner container 6 is substantially less. It has a capacity of 4 units.

  Further, the medium-capacity inner container 5 has a capacity of about 6 unit squares, where the minimum small-capacity inner container 8 has a capacity of one unit square, and the medium-capacity inner container 4 has a capacity of about 9 unit squares. Configured.

  Accordingly, the lunch box 1 has a capacity of approximately 15 unit bags, assuming that the capacity of the small-capacity inner container 8 having the smallest overall capacity is 1 unit container. The opening 1a is configured to be closed by a lunch box lid 1b.

  Of the inner containers 3, the small-capacity inner container 8 is an example in which a lid that closes the upper opening 8a is not used, but the two middle-capacity inner containers 4 and 5 and the smaller-capacity inner containers 6 and 7 are As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the upper openings 4 a, 5 a, 6 a and 7 a are configured to be closed by inner container lids 4 b, 5 b, 6 b and 7 b, and are accommodated in the lunch box 1, respectively. Even if not, it can be used as an independent lunch box.

  When configured as described above, the medium-capacity inner containers 4, 5 and the small-capacity inner containers 6, 7, 8 of the outer container 2 and the inner container 3 have a caloric intake calculated from a predetermined weight for each food to be stored. It can be used as a so-called calorie set to calculate how food should be packed as a lunch box that matches the actual individual's heat intake.

  Next, how to use the medium-capacity inner containers 4 and 5 and the small-capacity inner containers 6, 7, and 8 as the calorific value of the outer container 2 and the inner container 3 will be described.

  That is, the amount of heat that can be ingested daily can be determined based on, for example, the weight of the intake person in consideration of the treatment or prevention of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes.

  Specifically, the daily intake can be determined depending on whether the weight of the intake person is roughly obese, obese, or severely obese.

  Therefore, as shown in Table 1, the daily ingestible amount can be determined as a unit of 80 kal according to the mild obese body weight, obese body weight, and severe obese body weight, and this daily intake amount is commensurate. If the number of units is taken in three times, breakfast, lunch and dinner, for example, the intake unit amount of each meal described in the intake unit quantity column of each meal in Table 1 can be distributed.

FIG. 7 is a plan view of the lunch box according to the first embodiment of the present invention, which is prepared as a lunch for one meal for a lightly overweight person.

  First, in the case of a lightly overweight person, assuming that the daily intake of 20 calories is 20 units, this 20 units of food may be distributed and consumed in 3 meals per day. As described, it can be allocated to 5 units for breakfast, 7.5 units for lunch and 7.5 units for dinner.

  Therefore, for example, in order to prepare a lunch box for a lightly overweight person, as shown in FIG. 7, the medium capacity containers 4 and 5 are accommodated in the lunch box 1 and the medium capacity container 4 is accommodated. One small-capacity container 6, two small-capacity containers 7, and one small-capacity container 8 are accommodated and used. After the medium-capacity container 4 is put in the outer container 2, the outer container 2 is used. The space formed on one side of the container is used as the space accommodating part 2-1, and another small-capacity inner container 6-1 is attached as an inner container lid 6b and used as a separate container independent of the lunch box 1. Thus, it is configured as a meal of 7.5 units of lunch and approximately 600 kcal.

  And the space accommodating part 2-1 formed by accommodating the container 4 with a medium capacity in the outer container 2 displays in advance a label 5c described as "rice mark" on the bottom by printing or the like. Furthermore, label 2-1c describes the amount of heat taken from the rice at the same time and the weight corresponding to it.

  As a result, it can be seen that if the rice is packed so as to substantially fill the space accommodating part 2-1, the amount of heat of 320 kcal can be ingested by about 200 g of rice.

  Further, the small-capacity container 6-1 constituting one of the small-capacity containers 6 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4 is printed in advance with a label 6-1c on which “seafood” is written on the bottom. Further, the amount of heat taken from “seafood” and the weight corresponding to this are described on the label 6-1c.

  As a result, it can be seen that about 100 g of seafood can ingest a calorie of 80 kcal if packed with seafood such as bandits and shellfish that almost fill the inside of the small-capacity container 6-1.

  Of the two small-capacity containers 7 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4, one small-capacity container 7-1 is labeled 7-1c with “beef and fried foods” written on the bottom thereof. Is displayed in advance by printing or the like. Furthermore, the amount of heat taken from “beef and fried foods” and a weight substantially corresponding to this are described on label 7-1c.

  As a result, it can be seen that if “beef and fried foods” that almost fill the inside of the small-capacity container 7-1 are packed, the calorie of 120 kcal can be ingested by about 60 g of beef and fried foods.

  Of the two small-capacity containers 7 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4, the other small-capacity container 7-2 is labeled 7-2c with "potatoes / pumpkins" written on the bottom thereof. Is displayed in advance by printing or the like, and further, the amount of heat taken from “potatoes / pumpkins” and a weight substantially commensurate with this are described on label 7-2c.

  As a result, it can be seen that if the "potatoes / pumpkins" that almost fill the small-capacity container 7-2 are packed, about 50 g of potatoes / pumpkins can ingest 40 kcal.

  In addition, when eating out etc. increased by the previous day, the weight increased, and when it is often that the amount of heat of 600 Kcal was ingested, for example, the use of the space accommodating portion 2-1 formed in the outer container 2 is stopped. It can be considered that the medium capacity container 5 is accommodated in the space accommodating part 2-1.

  In this case, the medium-capacity container 5 is not shown in the drawing, but a label on the bottom of which is labeled “rice” is printed in advance, and furthermore, this label corresponds to the amount of heat taken from the rice at the same time. Write down the weight.

  When the medium-capacity container 5 is actually used as a rice bowl, approximately 150 g of rice can ingest a calorie of 240 Kcal.

  Further, one small-capacity container 8-1 constituting the small-capacity container 8 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4 has a label 8− on which “seaweed, shiitake mushrooms / tsukemono” is written on the bottom. 1c is displayed in advance by printing or the like, and further, the amount of heat taken from “seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, and tsukemono” at the same time and the weight substantially corresponding to this are described on label 8-1c.

  As a result, if “seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, tsukemono” that almost fill the inside of the small-capacity container 8-1 is packed, about 20 g of seaweed and shiitake mushrooms can ingest approximately 10 to 20 kcal of heat.

  Furthermore, the small-capacity inner container 6-2 that is configured as one of the small-capacity outer containers 6 is preliminarily displayed with a label 6-2c on which "vegetables" is printed on the bottom thereof, and further, the label In 6-2c, the amount of heat ingested from “vegetables” and the weight roughly commensurate with this are described.

  As a result, it can be seen that if the "vegetables" that almost fill the inside of the small-capacity outer container 6-2 are packed, the calorie of about 30 kcal can be ingested by about 100 g of vegetables.

  The small-capacity inner container 6-1 and the small-capacity inner container 6-2 have substantially the same volume, and since the small-capacity inner container 6-2 is used as an independent outer container, The lid 6b is used, and the small-capacity inner container 7-1 and the small-capacity inner container 7-2 have substantially the same volume, and are labeled 6-1c, 6-2c, and 7-1c, respectively. , 7-2c and 8-1c are distinguished from the displayed contents, and each food is used properly.

  From the above, as shown in FIG. 7, for each type of inner container 3, each type of food packed by filling each type of food according to the display content of the label displayed on the bottom thereof. Can grasp the amount of heat taken from each of these foods at the same time, as a result, the lunch box 1 as a whole can secure a total intake calorie of about 600 kcal that can be taken by a slightly obese body weight person for lunch, There is no need for cumbersome heat calculations.

  Next, in the case of a slightly obese person, assuming that the daily heat intake is 15 units, the food of 15 units may be distributed and consumed by 3 meals per day. As described, it can be allocated to 5 units of breakfast, 5 units of lunch and 5 units of dinner.

  Therefore, for example, in order to prepare a lunch box for a slightly obese person, as shown in FIG. 8, the medium-capacity containers 4 and 5 are accommodated in the lunch box 1 and the small-capacity container 4 is small. It is the same as the case of the lightly overweight person with the point that it contains and uses one internal container 6, 2 small internal containers 7, and 1 small internal container 8. The container 5 is not used as it is, but a single small-capacity container 6 and a small-capacity container 7 are accommodated and used, and the lunch 5 is not used without using an independent outer container. The unit is configured as a meal of approximately 400 kcal.

  The small-capacity container 6-3 constituting one of the small-capacity containers 6 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 5 displays in advance a label 6-3c on which "rice" is written on the bottom thereof by printing or the like. Furthermore, label 6-3c describes the amount of heat taken from the rice and the corresponding weight.

  As a result, it can be seen that if the rice is packed so as to substantially fill the small-capacity container 6-3, 160 kcal of heat can be ingested by about 100 g of rice.

  Similarly, the small-capacity container 7-3 constituting one of the small-capacity containers 7 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 5 is preliminarily printed with a label 7-3c on which "fruits" is written on the bottom. In addition, the amount of heat taken from “fruits” is written on label 7-3c at the same time.

  As a result, it can be seen that if the fruit that almost fills the small-capacity container 7-3 is packed, the calories of 20 kcal can be ingested by the fruit.

  Of the two small-capacity containers 7 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4, one small-capacity container 7-1 is labeled 7-1c with “beef and fried foods” written on the bottom thereof. Is displayed in advance by printing or the like. Furthermore, the amount of heat taken from “beef and fried foods” and a weight substantially corresponding to this are described on label 7-1c.

  As a result, it can be seen that if “beef and fried foods” that almost fill the inside of the small-capacity container 7-1 are packed, the calorie of 120 kcal can be ingested by about 60 g of beef and fried foods.

  Of the two small-capacity containers 7 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4, the other small-capacity container 7-2 is labeled 7-2c with "potatoes / pumpkins" written on the bottom thereof. Is displayed in advance by printing or the like, and further, the amount of heat taken from “potatoes / pumpkins” and a weight substantially commensurate with this are described on label 7-2c.

  As a result, it can be seen that if the "potatoes / pumpkins" that almost fill the small-capacity container 7-2 are packed, about 50 g of potatoes / pumpkins can ingest 40 kcal.

  A small-capacity container 6-2 constituting one of the small-capacity containers 6 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4 is pre-printed with a label 6-2c on which “vegetables” is printed on the bottom. In addition, display it. Label 6-2c describes the amount of heat taken from “vegetables” and the corresponding weight.

  As a result, it can be seen that if the “vegetables” that almost fill the inside of the small-capacity container 6-2 are packed, the amount of heat of about 30 kcal can be ingested by about 100 g of vegetables.

  Further, one small-capacity container 8-1 constituting the small-capacity container 8 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4 has a label 8− on which “seaweed, shiitake mushrooms / tsukemono” is written on the bottom. 1c is displayed in advance by printing or the like, and further, the amount of heat taken from “seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, and tsukemono” at the same time and the weight substantially corresponding to this are described on label 8-1c.

  As a result, if “seaweed, shiitake mushroom, tsukemono” that almost fills the inside of the small-capacity container 8-1 is packed, about 20 g of seaweed, shiitake mushroom, tsukemono can ingest about 10-20 kcal.

  The small-capacity container 6-2 and the small-capacity container 6-3 have substantially the same volume.

  From the above, as shown in FIG. 8, each food type is packed for each type of inner container 3 according to the display content of the label displayed on the bottom of each inner container 3. And the amount of heat ingested from each of these foods at the same time. As a result, the lunch box 1 as a whole can secure a total ingestion calorie of about 400 kcal that can be consumed by obese people during lunch. Does not require a simple calorie calculation.

  Next, in the case of a severely obese weight person, assuming that the daily heat intake is 10 units, it is sufficient to distribute and consume 10 units of food by 3 meals per day. Can be distributed to 3 units for breakfast, 4 units for lunch and 3 units for dinner.

  Therefore, for example, in order to prepare a lunch box for a severely obese body weight person, as shown in FIG. 9, the medium capacity inner container 4 is used as the lunch box with the inner container lid 4b without using the lunch box 1. Then, four small-capacity containers 7 and one small-capacity container 8 are accommodated in the medium-capacity inner container 4 and used as a meal of 4 units for lunch and approximately 300 kcal.

  The small-capacity container 7-4 constituting one of the four small-capacity containers 7 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4 is preliminarily provided with a label 7-4c on which "rice" is written on the bottom. Further, it is displayed by printing or the like, and further, the amount of heat taken from the rice at the same time and the weight corresponding to this are described on the label 7-4c.

  As a result, it can be seen that if the rice is packed so that the inside of the small-capacity container 7-4 is almost filled, the amount of heat of 80 kcal can be ingested by about 50 g of rice.

  Further, the small-capacity container 7-5 constituting one of the four small-capacity containers 7 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4 is previously provided with a label 7-5c on which "seafood" is written on the bottom. It is displayed by printing or the like, and further, the label 7-5c describes the amount of heat taken from “seafood” and the weight corresponding to it.

  As a result, it can be understood that if seafood such as bandits and shellfish almost filling the inside of the small-capacity container 7-5 is packed, the calorie of 40 kcal can be ingested by about 50 g of seafood.

  Of the four small-capacity containers 7 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4, the small-capacity container 7-1 has a label 7-1 c written “beef / fried food” on the bottom thereof in advance. The amount of heat taken from “beef and fried foods” and a weight substantially corresponding to this are described on label 7-1c.

  As a result, it can be seen that 120 kcal of calorie can be ingested by “beef and fried foods” that almost fill the inside of the small-capacity container 7-1.

  Of the four small-capacity containers 7 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4, the small-capacity container 7-2 is preliminarily provided with a label 7-2c on which "potato and pumpkin" is written on the bottom. It is displayed by printing or the like, and further, the amount of heat taken from “potatoes / pumpkins” and the weight substantially commensurate with this are described on label 7-2c.

  As a result, it can be seen that if the "potatoes / pumpkins" that almost fill the small-capacity container 7-2 are packed, about 50 g of potatoes / pumpkins can ingest 40 kcal.

  Further, the small-capacity container 8-1 constituting one of the small-capacity containers 8 accommodated in the medium-capacity container 4 is labeled 8-1c with “seaweed / salmon / tsukemono” written on the bottom thereof. Is displayed in advance by printing or the like, and the amount of heat taken from “seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, and tsukemono” at the same time and the weight substantially corresponding to this are described on label 8-1c.

  As a result, if “seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, and tsukemono” that almost fill the inside of the small-capacity container 8-1 are packed, it is understood that the seaweed and shiitake mushrooms ingest 10 to 20 Kcal of thermal power.

  From the above, as shown in FIG. 9, each food type is stuffed by stuffing each food item according to the display content of the label displayed on the bottom for each type of inner container 3. The amount of heat taken from these foods can be grasped at the same time, and as a result, the total amount of heat consumed by obese people at lunch time is ensured by the whole medium-capacity container 4 used as a lunch box. Can be done and does not require cumbersome heat calculations.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, if a doctor or the like is allowed to take additional food in a predetermined range of 300 Kcal abnormality from the nutritional balance or caloric intake, etc. An example in which a small-capacity container 6 and a small-capacity container 7 are used as the outer box is shown.

  That is, the small-capacity container 7-6 that constitutes one of the small-capacity containers 6 has a label 7-6c on which "vegetables" is written on the bottom in advance by printing or the like. At -6c, the amount of heat taken from “vegetables” and the weight roughly commensurate with this are described.

  As a result, it can be seen that if the “vegetables” that almost fill the inside of the small-capacity container 7-6 are packed, the amount of heat of 30 kcal can be ingested by about 100 g of vegetables.

  Similarly, in the small-capacity container 7-3 constituting one of the small-capacity containers 7, a label 7-3c described as “Fruits” is previously displayed on the bottom by printing or the like. The amount of heat taken from “fruits” and the weight roughly commensurate with this are described in -3c.

  As a result, it can be seen that if the “fruits” that almost fill the inside of the small-capacity container 7-3 are packed, the amount of heat of 20 kcal can be ingested by about 40 g of fruits.

  Furthermore, regarding this invention, what is shown in FIG. 10 as another embodiment can be considered.

  That is, according to FIG. 10, the medium capacity inner container 4 is used as the outer box of the lunch box 1, and the small capacity inner container 6-2 is used as an independent outer container.

  The middle-capacity container 4 is formed with a color-coded portion 4-1 such as red on the bottom portion of the small-capacity container 8 except for the equivalent volume portion 8s, and “yakisoba / spaghetti” on the bottom. The label 4-1c described above is displayed in advance by printing or the like, and further, the amount of heat ingested from the “yakisoba / spaghetti” at the same time and the weight substantially corresponding to this are described on the label 4-1c.

  As a result, it can be seen that if “yakisoba / spaghetti” that almost fills the inside of the color-coded portion 4-1 of the medium capacity container 4 is packed, the calorie of 450 to 500 kcal can be ingested by 400 to 450 g of yakisoba / spaghetti.

  Note that the small capacity container 8-2 containing fruits, for example, is accommodated in the capacity area 8s equivalent to the small capacity container 8 that is not color-coded.

  As a result, it can be seen that if “fruits” that almost fill the small-capacity container 8-2 are packed, the calorie of 10 Kcal is ingested by 20 g of fruits.

  As described above, the small-capacity inner container 6-2 used as an independent outer container displays a label 6-2c on the bottom and is filled with “vegetables”. It can be calculated immediately.

  As described above, in summary, according to the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the outer container 2 constituting the lunch box 1, as the inner container 3 as a subdivided container to be housed and used in the outer container, Prepare medium-volume containers 4 and 5 and small-volume containers 6, 7, 8 having different volumes, and each of the foods to be ingested (for example, representative foods selected from the six basic food groups), If the name, the amount of intake, and the amount of heat corresponding to this are displayed, as shown in Table 2, the amount of intake heat for each food can be calculated simply by selecting the inner container 3, and one of these inner containers 3 can be selected. By combining, it is possible to easily calculate the required caloric intake for one meal of a lightly overweight, overweight, or overweight person, and among the inner containers 3 to be used, the six basic food groups Nutrition from inside By selectively used in consideration of Nsu, you can spend always diet was balanced.

なお、上記実施の形態における各食品の熱量数値は便宜上調味料等を含まない食品そのものの熱量として表示したもので、調味料を添加した料理であれば、各食品の熱量が表２に示すものより増えることになる。
