    Weight control method using physical activity based parameters
    WO 2001089365 A3
    Abstract
    A method of assisting a person to achieve a weight control goal comprises determining a resting energy expenditure for the person using an indirect calorimeter, and converting the resting energy expenditure of the person into a number of resting points. The activity level of the person can be monitored or estimated, and converted into a number of activity points. The sum of activity points and resting points can be compared with the number of diet points consumed by the person, wherein the diet points are calculated based on calorie content and other nutritional values. The balance of these weight control points can be presented to a person, so as to assist the person succeed in a weight control program.
