A calorie counter for persons wishing to control their weight having a housing with a base and a transparent cover rotatably mounted to the base. An opaque partition is located in the housing parallel to the cover and spaced apart therefrom. This partition has three circular calorie counting scales provided thereon. The partition consists of an inner disk having first and second calorie counting scales and an annular disk which is an outward extension of the inner disk. The annular disk is rotatable and protrudes through a side wall of the base at one location. Two line indicators are provided by two transparent disks located between the cover and the annular partition. The first indicator points to the number of calories contained in a food item while the second indicator points to the total number of calories consumed by the user during a set time period. A gear mechanism operated by a thumb wheel operates both of the indicator disks at the same time.
