This invention relates to handheld calculator dedicated to finding the percentage of calories from fat in different food products from the information stated on food labels. The said calculator will facilitate finding the said percentage for any food product with a food label based on either of the following formulae: -Percentage of calories from fat =grams of fat per portion X 900 calories per portion -Percentage of calories from fat =grams of fat per portion X 3780 kilojoules per portion The said calculator will enable persons who are not specialists in nutrition, those not familiar with the said formulae, to easily determine the said percentage for any food product. The said calculator will have considerable appeal and acceptance both to those who are not familiar with the said formulae as well as the professionals in nutrition who are familiar with the said formulae. The said calculator will be particularly useful to check the fat levels of different food products when shopping and preparing meals to better control fat intake.

L'invention porte sur une calculatrice de poche servant à calculer le pourcentage de calories provenant des matières grasses dans différents aliments à partir des renseignements indiqués sur les étiquettes. La calculatrice en question simplifiera le calcul du pourcentage susmentionné pour tout aliment comportant une étiquette se conformant à l'une ou l'autre des formules suivantes : pourcentage de calories provenant des matières grasses = grammes de matières grasses par portion X 900 calories par portion ou pourcentage de calories provenant des matières grasses = grammes de matières grasses par portion X 3 780 kilojoules par portion. La calculatrice permettra aux gens qui ne sont pas des spécialistes de la nutrition, donc ceux qui ne connaissent pas les formules susmentionnées, de calculer facilement le pourcentage de calories pour n'importe quel aliment. Les personnes qui ne connaissent pas les formules et les professionnels de la nutrition qui la connaissent seront très tentées par la calculatrice et l'approuveront. La calculatrice sera particulièrement utile pour vérifier, au moment de l'achat et de la préparation des repas, la quantité de matières grasses de différents aliments afin de mieux contrôler l'ingestion de ces dernières.
