The online bodybugg™ interface, is the heart of the weight management system. Users simply upload the data from the armband device via a wireless communicator to their PCs. The bodybugg™ program then calculates exactly how many calories have been used and displays the number of calories available for consumption to maintain weight and reach fitness goals. Customized menus are available to aid in planning nutritional meals within the parameters of each individual’s fitness plan, and an easy-to-use food-logging program with thousands of known foods in an auto-search database makes keeping track of food intake simple.
Users have the choice of logging their meals or using the automated program that calculates the actual average calorie consumption per day on a weekly basis using the information downloaded from the bodybugg™, calorie burn, and weight. Together, the bodybugg™ armband and the web interface provide real-time status any time of the day.
