Overview
Description
-
Many people want to lose weight, but they do not know where to start. They forget that food is an essential part of staying fit and living a healthier life, not just exercising alone.
-
The purpose of the app is to simplify this entire process. The process of helping people achieve their health goals through food recommendations. The user will be able to input their basic health information (i.e. age, weight, height, amount of sleep intake, water intake, etc.). The app will take this info and make recommendations for the user such as how much water to drink, types of food, and types of exercises to do.
What Are Calories
- A calorie is a unit of energy that your body uses to function and perform daily life sustaining activities.[1] The calories you eat from foods provides your body with energy. Everyone's daily caloric needs are different based on age, height, weight, gender, lean body mass and activity level.[2] When you know how to calculate your total daily calorie needs, you can design an eating plan to help meet your health goals.
