Abstract

A system and method of tracking food consumption data for a payment cardholder is provided. The food consumption data is associated with restaurant food purchases made with a payment card, where each restaurant food purchase includes a transaction amount. The method includes comparing the transaction amount to a set of possible food order combinations totaling the transaction amount. A food order combination is selected that has a total price that matches the transaction amount. Nutritional information associated with each food item in the selected food order combination is retrieved and stored into a database.
