If you're into the whole quantified-self movement, or you
just fancy watching what you eat, GE is working on new microwave tech that
could make manual calorie counting obsolete. The company's R&D department
developed a prototype that directly measures the caloric amounts for the foods
that it heats.
For now, the device only works with blended foods, and
requires a uniform mixture to provide accurate values; however, a new gadget is
in the works that that will tally stats for a full plate. This means that the
essential info for a chicken breast and two vegetables can be sent to a
smartphone.
