What it does

Kalories is a mobile application that keeps track of daily nutrition for the health conscious. The user can take pictures of their meal and our service will recognize the food items using the wonders of machine learning, store it, and return the total calories, fat, and other nutritional information. No more cumbersome data filling to keep track of those calories.

How does it work

A user can take a picture of the meal they are eating. Kalories will send the picture to our server hosted by Microsoft Azure and return a list of suggestions. The user can increment each suggestion by specified serving side. We then take this information and return relevant nutritional information and store the data in their history stored in the history tab.

What we built it with

This application was developed using Flask, Azure, PostgreSQL, and Clarifai's computer vision API. The front end was developed in Swift and deployed on Microsoft's elastic cloud.

What's next for Kalories

After Big Red Hacks, we plan to expand the services our app can provide by having each user fill out a profile including current weight, age, and exercise habits to provide a more accurate goal for daily nutrition. We also want to integrate Instagram's API so our app can analyze photos that a user may post.
