A bracelet for counting calories is formed by a plurality of counting beads each having an aperture there through. A monofilament line is threaded in a looping manner through the aperture of each counting bead such that the line overlaps itself within the aperture. Using this configuration and a freespace along the line, the counting beads may be selectively slid along the length of the line and retained in position, permitting the wearer to keep track of daily calorie intake by the movement and placement of the beads. A plurality of summing beads are also included and these are strung one per every five counting beads. This way, the counting beads are assigned an associative value of 100 calories per bead and are subdivided into groups of 500 calories by inter-positioned summing beads. A method of using the bracelet to count calories is also shown, the method including the steps of assigning a quantitative caloric value to each counting bead, selectively sliding a commensurate number of counting beads over one position in accordance calories ingested, summing the total calorie consumption over the course of a day by the position of the counting beads on the bracelet, and moving the counting beads back to their original position to begin tracking the next day.
