Calorie-Counting Containers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The GE Calorie Counter Can Help You Manage Your Weight

— July 8, 2014 — Art & Design
The GE Calorie Counter is a futuristic kitchen appliance that can help families manage their food intake and overall weight. The futuristic counter functions by visually displaying the amount of calories inside any meal you're about to eat.

We live in a world that is extremely food-conscious due to recent healthy food movements like vegan eating and juice cleanses. Matt Webster engineered the GE Calorie Counter to help consumers take control of their eating habits with an appliance that can instantaneously count how many calories are inside any meal. The GE Calorie Counter is essentially a container that consumers can put their meals inside before eating and watch as the counter visually displays how many calories are inside their meal. The GE Calorie Counter will most likely encourage consumers to eat better in the hopes that their meals will have less calories.
