Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically calculate the meal distribution amount of breakfast, lunch, supper and a snack by automatically distributing designated energy and amounts by respective food classifications to the respective meals by individual time and outputting them in accordance with inputted designated energy. SOLUTION: When designated energy is inputted, designated energy for one day is appropriately sorted and distributed for the respective foodstuffs. Designated energy is appropriately sorted and distributed for the respective meals of breakfast, lunch, supper and the snack. Unit input shows a value obtained by dividing energy to be inputted by 80kcal. When the switch for 1600kcal (20 units) is turned on, designated energy 20 units for one day and the distribution ratio of designated energy for the respective foodstuffs are displayed. The tables 1-6 show foodstuffs. When an upper/lower shift key is operated from the display for one day, the distributed designated energy of breakfast, lunch, supper and the snack and display distribution for the respective foodstuffs are sequentially displayed.
