GoBe U: How Does It Track Calorie Intake?

GoBe U automatically estimates the amount of calories absorbed by your body without requiring you to manually log food or count the calories in each meal.

It uses HEALBE FLOW™ technology, data from the bioimpedance sensor, and specialized algorithms to estimate absorbed calories.

How Does It Work?

After you eat and nutrients are absorbed, fluid distribution in the body’s tissues changes. These changes affect electrical conductivity.

The bioimpedance sensor in GoBe U detects changes in bioimpedance, and the HEALBE FLOW™ algorithm analyzes these signals to estimate the amount of calories absorbed by your body.

GoBe U does not identify which foods you have eaten or directly measure the calorie content of your food.

Why Don’t Calories Appear Immediately After a Meal?

GoBe U tracks physiological processes associated with nutrient absorption, rather than the moment when you eat. This means that absorbed calorie data appears with a delay.

The timing of absorption can vary depending on factors such as the composition and size of the meal, as well as individual physiology. For example, simple carbohydrates are generally absorbed faster than mixed meals containing protein and fat.

Because of this, the first values that appear in the app after a meal may not be final.

When Is Absorbed Calorie Data Finalized?

The algorithm continues analyzing the collected data and refining the timing of absorbed calories for up to 12 hours.

Daily calorie data is fully finalized after 12 PM (noon) the following day. If you want to evaluate or compare your absorbed calorie data, we recommend using the finalized data from the previous day.

Why Can GoBe U Data Differ From Calorie-Tracking Apps?

Traditional calorie-tracking apps estimate calorie intake based on the foods and portion sizes you enter manually.

GoBe U uses a different approach. Its algorithm analyzes physiological processes associated with nutrient absorption and uses this information to estimate absorbed calories.

Because these methods are different, GoBe U data may not exactly match calorie values calculated from logged foods and portion sizes.

If your absorbed calorie data regularly differs significantly from what you expect, please contact HEALBE Customer Care. We’ll be happy to review your data and help determine what may be causing the difference.
