Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for measuring calorie input, comprising: maintaining a calorie measure; capturing multiple images of a field of view at a periodic timing interval; analyzing each image from the multiple images to identify whether an image of the field of view includes a food item; automatically capturing at least one pre-consumption image and at least one post-consumption image of the food item based at least in part on detecting the food item in the image of the field of view; transmitting the at least one pre-consumption image and the at least one post-consumption image of the food item to a server; receiving, from the server, a calories consumed value, wherein the calories consumed value is determined based at least in part on the at least one pre-consumption image and the at least one post-consumption image of the food item; determining a consumption pattern based at least in part on a list of foods identified from the multiple images and a consumption time associated with food on the list of foods; displaying a suggestion based at least in part on the determined consumption pattern; and updating the calorie measure based on the received calories consumed value.
