Abstract

(57) [Summary] (Corrected) [Purpose] To make it possible to immediately judge the calorie content of seasonings and the like so that the calorie value can be recognized and contribute to the prevention of adult diseases such as obesity and hypertension. To do. [Structure] The calorie scale 2 corresponding to the amount of contents is provided on the surface or the inner surface of the container 1 of the seasoning 5 and the like.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a container in which sugar, powdered milk, mayonnaise, dressing, or other container surface or inner surface is provided with a calorie display scale so that the amount of calorie used can be visually confirmed at each use.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Some containers are labeled with the total amount of calories, but there is no particular reference to the calories corresponding to the amount used.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The calorie of individual food materials such as seafood, vegetables, and luxury foods is well known to those who use the food ingredient list, but food preparations, food additives, spices, etc. There are few people who memorize the caloric value of ". Therefore, the calories for the amount of seasonings used cannot be easily grasped, and naturally it becomes difficult to add the calories of seasonings to the dishes while calculating them. In addition, the calorie content of sugar and milk mixed in coffee and the like is a serious problem for people who care about obesity, and they feel anxious while drinking. The present invention was made to eliminate such irrationality and anxiety.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a means to solve the problem, use a container that can confirm the content of food preparations, food additives, and food spices, which is characterized by a calorie display scale on the surface or inside.

[0005]

[Action]

 Many people recognize that seasonings for seasoning food and drink have considerably high calories depending on the type, but how much depends on the seasonings actually used for the dish. If you are not sure if you are taking in calories, and if you are threatened by obesity or adult illness due to lack of exercise, you will misuse your calorie value. For housewives who care about the health of their families and are striving to balance their caloric intake and nutrition, the caloric value due to seasonings is of great concern. However, it takes time to calculate, and cooking cannot be done with confidence if the caloric intake due to the amount used is unknown. By using the calorie display scale of the present invention, it is possible to eliminate such anxiety.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a method of using the container shown in FIG. 2, wherein coffee (4) contained in a cup (3) is mixed with sugar (5). If you put it in, if you turn the container (1) upside down, all the sugar (5) will get into the coffee (4). In order to put only the desired amount, the middle part of the container (1) is pressed by fingers (6) and (7) so that more sugar (5) than necessary is not released, but in this case it is pressed. If the position is marked with a calorie display scale (2), the calorie content of sugar (5) to be added to coffee (4) can be easily known. Fig. 2 shows a small container (1) (hereinafter referred to as "container (1)") made of a small capacity stick-shaped paper, which is regarded as a container for sugar for coffee, and is provided with a calorie display scale (2). As can be seen from the example of use in Fig. 1, if the desired amount of use is pressed on the calorie display scale (2), that amount can be taken out. FIG. 3 shows an example in which a deformed container (8) for seasonings or the like is provided with unequally spaced calorie display scales (9). Even if mayonnaise, dressing, ketchup, soy sauce, wasabi, etc. are placed in a deformed container that is not in a uniform shape, accurate calorie display can be achieved by using the unequal interval scale of calorie display according to the amount used. Only one kind of container is shown as an example of what is present, and illustration of other modified containers is omitted. If the container is transparent and the contents can be seen from the outside, it is possible to add a calorie display scale to the inside of the container. The calorie amount judgment of the used amount taken out from the container is the calorie amount of the contents used if the maximum value of the calorie display scale which the remaining amount in the container indicates is read. The container in use is not always full of contents. It goes without saying that the calculation of the usage amount at that time is an arithmetic difference from the previous remaining amount. In this case, in order to take out the used amount, the container should be tilted and taken out. As described above, the container that can be provided with the calorie display scale of the present invention should be a transparent and translucent container, or a container that is flexible and whose internal volume can be easily confirmed from the outside by finger pressure, visual inspection, etc. Limited

[Effect of device]

 The effects of the present invention are as follows. 1. When making home-cooked foods, most people are aware of the calorie content of seafood, vegetables, meat, etc. as a common sense, but the amount of calorie contained in the seasonings added is quite difficult to estimate. It is difficult to calculate, and the calculation is complicated and tends to be ignored. However, I am worried that I am using mayonnaise, dressing, ketchup, soy sauce, etc., which can be imagined to have a large amount of calories, and it is unclear how much calories are added. The calorie display scale of the present invention eliminates such anxiety. 2. For housewives who have diabetic patients in their families or who eat meals for family members in occupations that tend to lack exercise, if the container has a calorie display scale, it is easy to know the amount of calories such as seasonings. Therefore, it is possible to cook food according to an appropriate calorie calculation quickly and accurately, which reduces labor and distress. 3. Sugar, condensed milk, sweet vinegar, etc., which are added to or mixed in with luxury foods, etc., are essential additives to bring out the full taste of ingredients and to eat and drink. However, I am worried about the intake of calories that affect obesity, and I would like to increase the amount added or mixed, but I am afraid that obesity is scared and I am in a half-hearted mood. If the calorie display scale of this plan can grasp even a small amount of calories, it is possible to try to offset the calorie amount commensurate with that by reducing other foods and drinks, so that you can taste your favorite foods with peace of mind. 4. It can help recognize the amount of calories contained in food seasonings, food additives, food spices, etc., and contribute to the prevention of adult diseases such as obesity and hypertension.
