Abstract
A system is described including a scale device for measuring weight of a food container, wherein one or more applications run on at least one processor of the scale device and are configured to detect weight of the food container and its contents using the scale device. The one of more applications are configured to detect a first weight measurement of the food container, wherein the first weight measurement includes weight of the food container and a first amount of food, to detect a second weight measurement of the food container, wherein the second weight measurement includes the weight of the food container, the first amount of food, and a second amount of food, wherein the second weight measurement is an updated weight measurement of the food container, to subsequently log weight measurements of the food container at time intervals, and to intermittently adjust and monitor the updated weight measurement.
