Abstract

In order to assist slimmers following a diet wherein he or she is allocated a maximum daily points target, the points being related to the calorific value and another parameter of food ingested, a calculator is provided with means to enable the user to enter a calorie value and a value for the other parameter, e.g. grams of saturated fat. The calculator then calculates the points for the entered data. This points value may be subtracted from a "points left" value to provide the user with an indication of the points they have left for the current day. Dietary fibre content may be input as a further parameter.
