Abstract: A system and method for collecting food intake related information, processing the information into a caloric value, and recording and reporting the value is provided. The system includes an electronic device having a sensor, an input device, a display, processor, memory, and code modules executing in the processor for implementation of the method. Information concerning the swallowing of food is collected. Weighting factors related to the caloric concentration of the food being ingested are also collected. The caloric value of the users eating is computed by the processor by combining the swallow data with weighted parameters in accordance with an algorithm. The caloric value is recorded in a user's profile and notifications can be generated based on the caloric value and a historical record of food intake information can be maintained and provided to the user via a portal such as a smart phone device or the internet.
