This is a perfect quick and simple fitness website that asks you common information and gives you a breakdown of how many daily calories you need to reach your goal.
Inspiration : We have two prior physiology majors in our group of ALL starting students and wanted to try to make a different spin off of normal fitness apps.
What it does : Takes inputs (weight, goal weight, lifestyle, workout intensity) and gives you the output of how many calories you need to lose.
How we built it Using : HTML5, CSS3 for the front end, Django for the back end.
Challenges we ran into : Just coding in general, we are all starting students and have little to no prior experience, we haven't even taken CS161 yet.
Accomplishments that we're proud of : Getting the backend up and running and successfully having it talk with the front end. Getting inputs from the front and using them in the back.
What we learned : Improved a lot in Github/Git terminal commands, starting repos, forking, cloning, working with teammates to code, python/HTML/CSS syntax.
What's next for Calorie Counter: Next we want to add a register section and create a database on the backend to keep track of individual users. Then we want to create a webscraper and get calorie information on all different types of foods to recommend. Then we want to develop an app that takes a picture of a receipt from a grocery store, reads the types of foods and quantities, and then spits back what you can make that 1. fits your fitness goals, 2. is only made with the items you input.
