We can weigh meals, study food labels, keep food diaries, use apps and do all sorts of other routines, but it’s all may be a waste of time.
1. Not all the calories from food are absorbed. Some of them go to the digestion process itself
2. The number of calories may vary strongly depending on how the food is prepared
3. Even climate conditions during the phase of growth affect the nutritional value of food⠀
4. Our calorie intake efficacy varies depending on the activity, health and drug intake
That’s why getting an accurate calorie count your body has absorbed is almost impossible in DIY style.
The automatic calculation of calories that really are absorbed is a basic function of HEALBE GoBe smart bands. The band automatically detects the absorbed calories right through the skin on your wrist with an ultimate accuracy of up to 89%.
For such an accurate calculation, a patented FLOW™ technology combines data from three sensors:
○ accelerometer
○ patented bioimpedance sensor
○ pulse sensor
1. 10 to 15 minutes after eating, the body starts to digest glucose from the food.
HEALBE GoBe counts calories right after nutrients enter the bloodstream, so the band counts only calories that are used.
A digestion process takes different time and may last even through the night. The heavier the food, the longer it takes to digest it.
For example, complex meals with meat and side dishes may require up to 20 hours. Also, the digestion of one meal may overlap with another one, then both processes slow down due to the lack of digestive resources.
2. When we digest food, our body produces glucose and other sugars. As blood glucose concentrations rise, cells absorb it and release water to free some space.
3. GoBe uses a bioimpedance sensor to measure intercellular fluid flow, thus determining the number of calories absorbed by the body.
4. With this feature, the HEALBE GoBe provides a complete picture of caloric intake, easily tracked in the app.
It is highly important for the data accuracy and completeness, to wear the GoBe3 all the time except charging. If you wear your smart band less than 20 hours a day, calorie intake data won’t be full.
