** UltimateCalorieMeter II (Cal Meter) ** |
The UltimateCalorieMeter II is designed for daily use of creating/eating meals
(but still allows you to select individual food items), entering daily exercises, viewing
where your consumption and exercise are in relation to your target calorie
consumption and six (6) different food values (total fats, unsaturated fats,
carbohydrates, proteins, fibers and cholesterols) for today. You also have the
ability to select individual food items and place them in the meals,
beverages or Other. You have the ability to CONSUME, ADD, RENAME, DELETE, VIEW, and ADJUST MEALS. You can also switch to the UltimateCalorieMeter II from the UltimateCalorieToday for seven and thirty day averages in the summary and select individual food items for consumption or change personal data. There is no limit to the amount of meals or the variety of types of meals you can create. Each meal has no limit to the amount of items that it can contain. For example: |
NORMAL MEAL "T_BONE STEAK DINNER" Lite Beer An appetizer Salad with dressing and hardboiled egg Dinner rolls with butter Soup Baked potato with butter, chives and sour cream T-Bone Steak Corn with butter Beef with butter Milk After dinner beverage OR "DIETERS CHOICE" Tea Vegetables with Lite dip 1/2 potato Chicken 1/2 grapefruit Juice OR "ONE CUP OF COFFEE" Coffee Sugar Cream OR "STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM" Strawberries Cream Sugar OR "ONE APPLE" |
CREATE A MEAL BEEF ENTREE (Dinner) Beef Brisket (2 different types) Short Ribs (3 different types) Beef General (3 different types) Beef Tenderloin (1 type) Beef Ground (2 different types) Mashed Pototao Baked Pototao Rice (3 different types) Corn Peas Beans Spinach Milk Tea Coffee (2 different types) PORK ENTREE (Dinner) Country Ribs (2 different types) Blade Roast (3 different types) Pork Chops (3 different types) Pork Tenderloin (1 different type) Fresh Ham (2 different types) Mashed Pototao Baked Pototao Rice (3 different types) Corn Peas Beans Spinach Milk Tea Coffee (2 different types) FRUITS/VEGETABLE SELECTIONS Orange Apple Grapefruit Banana Potato |
With the ADD MEAL option you can literally create any combination of
foods, entrees, condiments, toppings, drinks etc. to create any type of meal, snack or
beverage you might consume through the day. Further, the
Build a meal Feature in CONSUME MEAL allows you the benefit of being able
to select the portions of individual you items have built in a meal.
You can create a Beef Entree (see above), enter into the CONSUME MEAL, and
select only the items you intend to eat for that meal. The same as choosing a meal
from a menu. You can do the same thing
with beverages, meats, cereals, fruits or whatever you like. The combinations
you create are up to your imagination and creativity. |
GENERAL OPERATIONAL INFORMATION |
*** "Initializing Records" zero's out the present day's data for total consumed calories (and
all food values such as calories, protein, carbohydrates . . .) and total
calories used in exercises. It does this the first time you enter the UltimateCalorieMeter II each day.
It does not zero out any information in
the "PERSONAL" screen. As a result, to obtain accurate summary's for
seven days and thirty days, it is important to maintain these records on a
daily basis. To minimize the time it takes to enter the UltimateCalorieMeter II,
we suggest that you initialize these records at the beginning of each
day before using the programs. Initializing will happen only once a day. |
*** "Do you want to save your . . . data now?" allows you three choices
(YES), (NO), (CANCEL). The option to save your information will be found in the "PERSONAL" screen, and the "PORTIONS" screen (in "FOOD MENU" screen). When you select (YES) the information is saved and you are returned to the screen immediately preceeding. When you select (NO) you are returned to the screen immediately preceeding without saving changes when you select (CANCEL) you are returned to present screen to adjust any entries made. The following information regarding speed may vary based upon the speed of your PDA. |
Some operations, like ADD MEAL, will take time (this is because large amounts of data that may be needed to be read for some Meal Items). This can not be avoided. But once you have created a meal the consuming, viewing, adjusting or deleting operations are relatively fast. |
In general, you can tell the program is working because something, somewhere
on the screen will be flashing, blinking or changing values as you watch.
When the flashing, blinking or values stop changing you are ready to
go on to the next operation. As you work with UltimateCalorieMeter II
you will find what you can get away with as far as performing operations
BEFORE the blinking, flashing and value changing stops. |
Suggestions and general comments are welcomed. Email us at

EXERCISES screens |
![]() |
![]() |
The Exercises Screen allows you to
select from 34 different exercises. To enter your time spent in an exercise,
simply tap on the "EXERCISE SELECTIONS" button. This will display the exercises
you can select (see ADD/EDIT/DELETE screens to edit exercises). Then select the
activity that you participated in. This will display information (already inserted
by you for this exercise) and allow you to enter the Daily Total
Amount of time you spent in this activity. It is important to remember
that this number represents the cumulative amount of time you were in
this activity throughout the entire day. The number you enter for this
activity will show each time you enter this screen for the chosen activity
and will be used to determine the total calories expended for the day. To exit the "Minutes in Exercise" screen without changing the value you can tap on the (CANCEL) button and you will be returned to the Main screen while retaining the previous minutes you indicated for that exercise. To enter minutes spent in an exercise simply use the graffiti number pad, or use the PDA numeric keypad. If you use the graffiti pad the values in the "TOTAL CALORIES SPENT...." will update immediately. If you use the PDA numeric keypad you will need to tap the (RECALC) button to find the new value. No matter the way you enter the numbers you will still need to hit the (RECALC) button for the (DONE) key to appear. "Today Total" reflects the total caloric expenditure in the "EXERCISES" menu. This number represents the approximate calories expended by you from the beginning of the current day to the time of display for all exercises. Energy expenditure depends upon both the intensity of the exercise and exercise activity selected. Thus, individual variation in energy expenditure for a given physical activity can be quite large. |
*** "Today Total" showing no value: Requires the "PRESENT WEIGHT" field in the "PERSONAL" screen be complete. |
*** "Total calories spent in this exercise today":
This value represents the total of the selected exercise when you
enter any numeric value in the total minutes for today. If you choose to
use the keypad to enter a number you will be required to tap on the (RECALC)
key to obtain the value. You can change the total minutes to view how
many calories this exercise will use for the amount of time you enter. |
DELETE/EDIT/ADD screens |
In order to add,edit or delete an exercise, you simply need to tap on the (EXERCISE SELECTION)
button and select an exercise you would like to edit or delete (Note: 1) if adding an exercise,
you do not have select an exercise first 2) if editing an exercise you have to zero out
any minutes previously entered and then re-enter the minutes after editing). Then tap on the (Menu) button
at the bottom of the PDA.
Next select which function you would like to perform (Delete,Edit or Add). Delete/Edit This will bring you into a screen which will show the exercise you have selected in addition to the "Calories/Pound of body weight/ Per minute. , etc). If you would like to Delete the exercise tap on the (DELETE) button, and (YES) to delete the exercise. This will delete this exercise from the list of exercises. If you would like to edit an exercise, just change the appropriate fields ("Name of Exercise" and "Cal/Lb/Min"). Then simply select the (DONE) button. Add If you choose to add an exercise, select (Add) and you will be brought into the "ADD EXERCISE" screen. Information for exercise factors can be found on the web (e.g.: Nutrition Today, Consumer's Union of the United States). Complete the required fields ("Name of Exercise" and "Cal/Lb/Min") and select the (DONE) button. You will then be brought back into the Exercise screen where your new exercise will be included in the next tap of the (EXERCISE SELECTIONS) button. You will find your new exercise at the end of the list. (To minimize the time it takes to load the exercise files, we suggest to maintain this list to a minimum) |
IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTE AND DISCLAIMER |
Always seek medical advice from a physician before beginning any new
exercise regiment. |

CONSUME MEAL Screen |
![]() ![]() |
This screen allows you to select or edit/customize a meal that
you have previously added to your personal menu. If you have a supper with peas, and did
not eat those peas, "CONSUME MEAL" allows you to change this meal. Or if you originally
entered nine ounces of Roast Beef and only ate six ounces, "CONSUME MEAL" allows to
reflect what you actually consumed for that meal. By selecting a meal to consume,
you can adjust each individual item in that meal so as to reflect the actual amount
you ate. If you change a portion for a given food item, those changes made will be for that meal;

with the corresponding calories for each item. If you want to consume
that meal without any changes, simply tap on the (Done) button and
you will be taken into the "Summary" screen that will show the calories consumed
for this meal along with the totals for six food values. |
EDITING OF AN EXISTING MEAL |
Customizing/Editing a Meal Feature In order to customize or edit an existing meal to relect what was actually eaten, select a catagory from "MEAL CATEGORIES". You will then go to the screen which shows the meals for that catagory. Tap on the meal to consume and then on the (CONSUME Meal Name) button to enter into the "CONSUME" screen. If you want to customize or edit the meal, because you actually ate a different amount of an item then when you first set the meal up; you tap on an item in the meal and enter the "Portion actually eaten:" (input area in the lower right portion of the screen). The top lines of the screen will change to show your origianlly selected portions. Use decimals to indicate fractional amounts, eg: .5 = 1/2, .25 = 1/4, 1/8 = .125 etc. And if you did not eat a given item in the meal, simply enter "0" for the "Portion actually eaten:". After entering the actual portion size tap the (RECALC) button. The "Meal Total" and "Total w/ Meal" (total calories consumed for the day plus the total calories intended to consume with the meal) on the top will change according to your entry. A (Done) button will then appear to consume the edited meal. |

PERSONAL screen |
![]() |
IMPORTANT: For the UltimateCalorieMeter II (Cal Meter) to give you accurate
and meaningful information it is highly recommended that you maintain current
information on this screen FIRST. |
*** "IDEAL WEIGHT" is a weight range, based upon your height, that you can
use as an Ultimate target to achieve. It is based upon information from the
Metropolitan Height/Weight averages. There exists certain heights for which
this table did not provide weight ranges and the UltimateCalorieMeter II will
indicate that "IDEAL WEIGHTS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR YOUR
HEIGHT". We recommend that if this is the case for your height, that you use
the "BODY MASS" section as a measure of your height to weight. |
*** "IDEAL WEIGHT" showing no value: Requires complete Gender, Height (both Ft and In.) fields. |
*** "TARGET WEIGHT" represents the weight you wish to reach. The "Daily Calorie Avg. to Achieve Target Weight" is used to derive your active caloric average to reach this target weight. |
*** Calculations in the "EXERCISES" screen are based upon maintaining
"PRESENT WEIGHT" fields current. Additionally, historical information
regarding your present weight will be available to the you in future
upgrades. So it is important to maintain current "PRESENT WEIGHT" data. |
*** "ACTIVITY LEVEL" represents your level of normal daily activity. (LOW) Sedentary in nature. You should select this if minimal activity best describes your daily routine. If you complete no exercises and do very little in the course of a day you should select (LOW). This would be your classic "couch potato". (MEDIUM) Moderately active in the course of a day. You remain active in your job during the day, but do not get involved in any exercises during the course of a day. (HIGH) You have moderate daily activity in the course of a day (see "MEDIUM"), but in addition to this activity, you are also involved in some course of exercise throughout the day. |
*** "BODY MASS" (BMI) is a measure of your height/weight ratio. To obtain
this ratio you need to tap on the (RECALC) button or exit the "PERSONAL"
screen and save the data. BMI's between 19.5 and 24.9 are considered by
professionals to be optimum. Overweight BMI's range between 25 and 29.9
while obese ranges are above 30. |
*** "BODY MASS" (Body Mass Index - BMI) showing no value: Requires complete height ("FT" and "IN") and "PRESENT WEIGHT" fields. |
*** "Daily Calorie Avg. to Achieve Target Weight" represents the net
daily calories required to achieve your "TARGET WEIGHT". |
*** "Daily Calorie Avg. to Achieve Target Weight" showing no value:
Requires complete "AGE", "HEIGHT" (both Ft. and In), "TARGET WEIGHT" and
"ACTIVITY LEVEL" fields. Tap the (RECALC) button or exit the screen and
save the data in order to derive a new caloric average. |
IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTE AND DISCLAIMERS |
The UltimateCalorieMeter II uses the sum of the Harris-Benedict equation (to
determine your basal metabolic rate) and an activity factor (based upon your
inputted "ACTIVITY LEVEL"). It is recommended to seek profession advice when
determining your "TARGET WEIGHT". Actual caloric amounts may
vary based upon your actual activity level. Basal Metabolic Index (BMI) can
be affected by at least 10 different variables (e.g.: Age, body composition,
stress, etc). Contact us by email (UltimateCalorieMeter@msn.com) for specific
formulas used to determine your "BODY MASS" (BMI) or "Daily Calorie Avg. to
Achieve Target Weight". |

ADD MEAL (Create a Meal) Screens |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
Before you can select a meal to consume you need to create the meal or select
the options to create an entree . It is very easy and straightforward. |
From the "MAIN MENU" you tap on (ADD MEAL) that will take you to the
"MEAL CATAGORIES - ADD" screen. Here you choose which category of food
you want this selection to fall into (Breakfast, Lunch, Supper, Snack,
Beverage or Other). Tap on your selected category. |
*** The "Other" category is intended to place favorites items (eg:
Strawberries, Apples, All Vegetables, All Snacks
or other items that you will only consume one item of, or several single items
in one selection),
or special entrees of your choice. The use of (Other)
categories is a much faster method of selecting a single food item or grouping items
of a similar menu item together. And of course you can put any type of meal, part of meal or groups of food items into any category you choose. |
After you choose a category for which you will add a meal too,
you will be taken into a "list of meals" screen where you will enter the name
at the top part of the screen.
It must be under 21 characters. Then tap on (Next) on the bottom of the screen. This will
take you into the "ADD" screen. |
Next choose a (FOOD GROUP), followed by a (MENU ITEM). You will know
they are finished loading when the name you tapped becomes the current name
for (FOOD GROUP) or (MENU ITEM). After you tap (MENU ITEM), in a
moment or two, the box below the (MENU ITEM) will be filled with all of the
food items you can add to your meal based upon the
(FOOD GROUP)/(MENU ITEM) combination you select. |
To add an item to your meal: find it in the top list, tap on it and tap
the down arrow in the middle of the screen. To remove an item: find it
in the bottom list, tap on it and tap on the up arrow. |
You can change (Food Groups) and (Menu Items) as many times as you like when
in this screen. When you are finished with the meal click on the (Next)
button. You will now go into the "Item Serving Information" for this meal. |
Buttons |
If you question the
abbreviations in this list box simply tap on the (I) button and you will
be taken into a list of abbreviations and their description. |
If you want to view the portion of the item and the nutritional values
for each food item, tap on the (D) button. This will take you to a screen which
allows to to view these items and then (CANCEL) out of the routine. |
*** If you tap on (Previous) or (Cancel) all changes made will be lost. |
ITEM SERVING INFORMATION Screens |
![]() |
![]() |
On the "Item Serving Information" you can customize the serving portion
for each item of the meal you will be eating. For instance if you choose
a steak and the serving size comes up as 1 pound. By entering a fractional
amount, you can determine the amount of the item you will eat with this meal.  
Remember, this portion can be changed later when you consume
the meal as can any item in the meal. |
All of the meal items will come up one item at a time, each time you tap on
(Next Item). If at any time you want to start at the first item and begin
again, you tap on (Start Over) button and you can begin again. The (Start
Over) button will not appear until you hit the (Next Item) button for the first meal item.
When all of the items for this Meal have portions entered, you will be asked
if you want to continue or start over. This is a last chance to change
portion information when creating the meal (they can of course be changed
later using the Adjust function). If you tap on (Continue), the data will be saved
and you will be taken to a screen to view your Meal. Tap on
(Finished) and you will be taken back to the "MAIN MENU." |
If you enter excessively large numbers for portions, like 400 Milks, your
results may be corrupt. If you really need something this large, we suggest
you break the items into smaller portion quantities. Instead of 400 milks try four
Milk portions at 100 servings each for one milk item. |
You can either set up all of your meals before you begin using
UltimateCalorieMeter II or set up meals as you go through your day. |
