Food portioning system and related methods

A food portioning system comprising:

• a food plate body;
• at least one scale associated with the food plate body and configured to sense a weight of food carried thereby;
• wireless communications circuitry coupled to the at least one scale;
• a mobile wireless communications device associated with a given user and configured to
• obtain a user-selected food recipe from the given user,
• obtain user health data associated with the given user,
• obtain a desired consumable food weight for the food plate body based upon the user-selected food recipe and the user health data associated with the given user,
• wirelessly communicate with the wireless communications circuitry to obtain a sensed consumable food weight, and
• compare the sensed consumable food weight with the desired consumable food weight, and generate a notification based upon the comparing;
• and
• a promotional server configured to
• obtain the user-selected food recipe from the mobile wireless communications device,
• generate a digital coupon redeemable toward another food recipe in response to obtaining the user-selected food recipe, the digital coupon being redeemable toward purchase of the another food recipe, and the another food recipe having a higher nutritional value than a nutritional value of the user-selected food recipe,
• set a redeemable value of the digital coupon based upon the user health data, the sensed consumable food weight, and the nutritional value of the user-selected
• recipe so that the redeemable value increases relative to a higher nutritional value, and communicate the digital coupon to the mobile wireless communications device.
