A new kind of tracker- Bio Ring

Color me skeptical. There aren't ANY devices that can automatically measure calorie/protein/fat intake, much less ones that are this tiny. I seriously doubt it could pick up a heartbeat, my watch has a difficult enough time doing it from the big artery on my wrist.
A similar product called Gobe promised to do the same thing in a bigger package. It completely failed to deliver.

I wi**** was as good as it say.. but I call that BS:
"When you eat, your food consists of primarily carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Carbs are broken down into glucose, which is transported into your cells with the help of insulin.
When glucose enters your cells, your cells' glucose levels will elevate meanwhile your cells' water levels will reduce. The bio-impedance sensor measures these changes of fluid levels in your cells by sending electric signals with high and low frequencies, and reading the resistance from the tissues.
The sensor also measures how long your glucose level stays inflated and how long it takes to drop back to normal - also known as your glucose curve. Fats and proteins affect your glucose curve by flattening it. All readings obtained from the bio - impedance sensor are sent to the app where our proprietary algorithm will calculate your calorie intake, glucose curve and give you a macro-nutrient breakdown of your food."
My BS will raise when I drink black coffee or take my steroids for my condition. also - my body will break proteins into sugars.. as it needs it. My hydration depends not only on glucose - but also on minerals.... our body is much more complex than the site made you believe it is...

I'm calling shenanigans. I really wi**** was this easy, I'd order one for each finger LOL but I just don't think it could be this easy.
