Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a food intake chart that allows one to easily know the amount of food intake necessary to maintain health.

It goes without saying that eating habits are important for maintaining health. Not only is it undesirable to be overweight, but it is also undesirable to be too thin. However, it is difficult to say exactly how much food is appropriate for each person, as each person's body size is different. Furthermore, even though it is possible to know the amount of energy required, it is not easy to know, except for experts, what kind of foods and how to consume nutritionally.

The present invention was developed with these points in mind, and the purpose is to provide a planimeter that allows individuals to easily determine the amount of food they need to consume according to their body shape. It has been done.

The present invention will be explained below based on the illustrated embodiments. As shown in FIG. 1, this embodiment consists of three disks 1, 2, and 3, ie, a first, second, and third disk, and is provided with a stopper 4 so that they can rotate concentrically independently of each other. Can be mounted on top of each other. As for the material, thick paper is used in all cases, but any sheet-like material such as plastic sheets can be used. It is desirable that the circumferential edge of the second disk has a continuous small diagonal shape so that it can be easily rotated, and it is also desirable that the circumferential edges of the first and third disks be provided with notches of appropriate lengths.

The second disk 2 has a surface (A
on the back side (referred to as side B) and the second side
The number strings shown in FIGS. 3 and 3 are arranged radially around the center of rotation. On side A, on the outermost side are numbers that represent height in cm, and on the inside are numbers that represent the limit weight that would be considered too fat for a person of that height, and a number that represents the normal (healthiest) weight. A number string 5, in which the number representing the body weight and the number representing the limit of weight considered to be too thin are arranged in a line, and a number representing the required energy intake is placed inside the number.
A plurality of 5... are arranged side by side. The unit of weight is Kg, and the unit of energy intake is Kcal. In this example, as shown in the figure, 15 cm is placed in a fan-shaped area slightly smaller than half of the disk from heights of 153 cm to 188 cm in 2 cm and 3 cm increments.
In addition, in the fan-shaped area facing this fan-shaped area, there are 15 rows for heights from 145 cm to 180 cm, and two sets of number rows. As shown, one is for men and the other is for women.
This is because men and women have slightly different standard weights for the same height, and also have different energy intake requirements.

In this example, the height is placed on the outermost side, followed by the three types of weight, and finally the amount of energy intake, but this order does not necessarily have to be placed. In any case, one number string should be centered on height, and the weight and required energy intake related to that height should be displayed on a straight line. It is also possible to achieve the same goal with just one normal body weight.

The number sequence on side B is as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, surface B is divided by a straight line 6 in the center into an area 7 on the right half of the drawing and an area 8 on the left half, and one number string is connected from area 7 to area 8. . For example, the number string indicated by 9 in area 7 constitutes the same number string as the number string shown by 10 in area 8. In this number sequence, the number representing the amount of energy intake is placed on the outermost side in area 7, followed by the required amount of intake of the three nutrients, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats corresponding to that amount of energy, in order. Open the inside part of the number indicating the amount of fat intake a little, and from there, the number indicating the amount of various foods appropriate for ingesting the above energy amount, carbohydrate amount, protein amount, and fat amount is shown in area 8. They are displayed in rows. In this example, specific food examples are shown in FIG. 5, which will be described later. This number will vary depending on the type and number of foods you eat.

The fourth disk is superimposed on the A side of the second disk 2.
This is the first disc 1 shown in the figure, and a display window 11 is provided to display only one number string 5 of the second disc 2, and along this window, characters are written to explain the numbers appearing on the window. ing. In this embodiment, the words "Your Height", "Overweight", "Normal", "Too Thin", and "Energy" are written on the left side of the display window 11 from the outside, and "cm" and "Over" are written on the right side. The letters ``hereinafter'' and ``Kcal/day'' are written in order from the outside, corresponding to the letters on the right side. This display window 11 is for men, and the display window 12 for women is
They are formed 180° apart. This display window 1
Similar letters are written on 2.

The third disk 3, which is in contact with the surface B of the second disk 2, is the fifth disk 3.
As shown in the figure, a first display window 13, a second display window 14, and a third display window 15 are arranged in a straight line in the diameter direction of the disk 3. These three display windows are intended to make it possible to see a row of numbers on side B of the second disk 2. The first and second display windows 13 and 14 are separated to indicate that the portion displaying nutrients and the portion displaying foods display different items, but they may be integrated. As with the first disk, along these display windows are written letters indicating what the numbers appearing through the windows refer to and letters indicating the amount of each item.

In this embodiment, "Energy", "Carbohydrate", "Protein" are displayed on the left side of the first display window 13 from the outside.
The word “fat” is on the right side, and “Kcal” is written from the outside.
"g", "g", "g" are displayed. The order in which these are displayed depends on the order in which the numerical strings are written. Second and third display windows 14, 1 that display the approximate amount of food intake
On the left side of 5, each food is written as shown, and on the right side, each letter indicating the amount thereof is written as shown, and a box is provided for writing substitutes for the food. You are free to change the type of food you eat.

The method of using the above embodiment will be described below. First, turn the first disk face up and turn the second disk 2 so that your height appears in the display window 11 under "Your height." Suppose you are 165cm tall. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the numbers 72, 60, 48, and 2000 appear simultaneously from the display window 11. You can know what this means by the letters on the left, and by comparing your weight to this number you can easily know whether you are normal, overweight or underweight, and at the same time You can know that the amount of energy required per day for a body weight of 60Kg is 2000Kcal. Although I have described the case for men, it goes without saying that for women, it is sufficient to use a woman's product.

Next, turn the third disk 3 face up (7th disk
figure). Then I turned the second disk 2 and looked forward.
2000 Kcal is made to appear in the first display window 13 of the third disk 3. Then, the required carbohydrate is 290g
You can immediately see that the protein is 70g and the fat is 60g.

Moreover, the user can immediately know from the second and third display windows 14 and 15 an estimate of the specific amount of food required per day. In the case of this example, the above nutrients and
To obtain 2000Kcal of energy, eat 4 small bowls of rice, half a loaf of bread, 1 apple,
4 teaspoons of oil, 3 and a half tablespoons of sugar, 1 cake, 1 tablespoon of miso, 1 medium egg, 1 horse mackerel, 1 slice of beef, no pork, half a piece of tofu, 1 bottle of 200ml medium milk,
You can learn that you only need to eat three handfuls of vegetables and one small potato a day. It goes without saying that if you write down the alternatives for each food, you can choose from them.

As described above, according to the present invention, a person can easily know the type and amount of food he or she should consume per day based on his or her height. Traditionally, the average person has not been able to know much about how the daily calorie intake depends on height, much less what kind of foods to ingest to get the calories and necessary nutrients. Although it was difficult to know at first glance how much you should eat, this invention allows you to know very easily as described above.

Moreover, since the necessary number strings were provided on both sides of the second disk, and both sides of one disk were used as a whole, it was possible to keep the size of the disk small even if it contained a lot of information.
