The food container has been prepared so that the child's guardian puts the food inside the box, and the machine automatically calculates the number of calories in the food after converting it from grams to calories.
After the child eats the food, the guardian receives an Excel table in his mobile phone with the date and time of eating and the quantity taken from the box, which facilitates the arrangement of daily meals and their quantity for the child.
