How Does GoBe U Count Calories?

GoBe U tracks calorie intake automatically, without the need for manual food logging. It uses a patented combination of sensors and algorithms called HEALBE FLOW™ Technology to measure the calories your body actually absorbs, not just what you eat.

How It Works

• Glucose and fluid dynamics
  After you eat, your body digests the food and converts carbohydrates into glucose. As glucose enters your bloodstream, your cells begin to absorb it and release water.
  GoBe U uses a bioelectrical impedance sensor to measure these fluid shifts in your tissues -  continuously, day and night.
• FLOW Technology
  These measurements are processed by the HEALBE FLOW™ algorithm to build your unique glucose curve. The shape of the curve depends on the amount and type of nutrients consumed (e.g., carbs, fats, proteins), and allows GoBe U to calculate your actual caloric intake with high accuracy.

• Timing of absorption
  Calorie absorption happens over several hours:

  • 1–2 hours – food is chewed and swallowed
  • 3–4 hours – food is broken down by digestive fluids
  • 4–8 hours – active digestion
  • 5–9+ hours – nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream

  Some nutrients can enter the bloodstream as quickly as 15–30 minutes, while others (like complex meals) may take 9–10 hours or more.

• Internal calorie sources
  GoBe U also detects calories from internal energy stores. If you're fasting, dieting, or exercising, your body may consume internal reserves. GoBe U tracks this too - so even if you're not eating, energy intake may still be recorded.

GoBe U doesn't track what you eat - it tracks what your body absorbs. This makes it a more accurate and personal tool for monitoring your true energy balance.
