Flexibite

• 

  Your personal diet coach

Inspiration

Calorie counting and meal planning on a diet is way too much work. Even with apps like MyFitnessPal, you still have to sit there and enter in all the meals you ate and ever plan to eat.

What it does

Flexibite makes it easy. Enter in basic health information to create your user profile. You start off with simple age, weight, height, and activity level. You give it a goal, like losing 10 pounds in 5 weeks, and flexibite calculates the requisite caloric deficit you would need in order to achieve this. Then, using a recipe database cross referenced with nutrition info, it develops a meal plan to help make your goals a reality.

How I built it

I built it using the R shiny application builder.

Challenges I ran into

A lot, I had no web dev experience before this.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Getting something on the page. Also the logo's pretty cute I think.

What I learned

Little problems are very prolific

What's next for Flexibite

For one, getting it to generate meal plans. It think that having meal planning functionality would be a great addition to this meal planning app.
