Background
I know I'm right when I say that everyone, meaning, the human race, wants to be fit and to stay fit. Every one of us struggles to control our weight. People enroll at gyms; do physical activities such as biking, surfing, running, etc. to lose unwanted fat and at the same time to be healthy. People usually have a hard time keeping count of the calorie intake for the day. In the Philippines, our diet consists of pork, chicken, beef, seafood, rice, and of course, more pork. A lot of us struggle to watch our calorie intake.
I was talking to a friend of mine about fitness and weight loss. And then we talked about how much calories a person needs. Then she came up with the idea; what if everyday items such as pots and pans, utensils, and other things you can use that can count the calories for you?
Apparently, there's an app that you can download that comes with a gadget that lets you identify the ingredients that a dish has. Now, take that technology and somehow, identify the ingredients, measure the amount of each ingredient used, and at the same time give the calorie count for each. And what a better way to do that with pots and pans, food containers, and something that you can bring with you anywhere.
Product
Kitchenware and a pen that count the calories for you.4
Innovation
Imagine preparing food for your family using a frying pan that tells you how much calories are already in the food you're preparing. And while on the go, a pen that you stick inside food and counts the calories for you. With this kind of product, people won't have a hard time assuming their calorie intake when there's physical device that does it for them. People will start to get healthy and fit.
