I like the concept and the execution is pretty solid - I particularly like the RDA % and bar charts for a meal. I have a few thoughts though:
1) Search found all the ingredients I needed or pretty close approximations which was cool. Multiple units of measurement was an excellent choice. Food data looks USA - it would be helpful to know that as a UK user.
2) I had to make a username and password which will put off some potential users. Why not make it log in with Facebook/Google as an option?
3) I entered a quantity of tortillas and couldn't amend it without deleting the item. Was I doing something wrong?
4) As an active 6'2" man I suspect I need more calories than average. How about activity level/height/weight options? Kudos for having 'pregnant' and 'Breastfeeding' as options. However they would be more powerful as flags - my wife is both pregnant and breastfeeding! Or even 'add person' so one can look at nutritional info for cooking for a family.
I'm interested to see how this tool evolves! Good work!
- phugoid 11y agoThanks! 1) Yes, it uses a USA gov' database. But I'm curious about why it looks American to you. Could you please elaborate? 2) To be frank, this is django's registration system, off-the-shelf (least effort). If I see enough interest in the site I will add simplified login. Thanks for highlighting it. 3) You did nothing wrong. I've stripped the interface down to the most basic functions. 4) You're totally correct. Adjusting the targets for body shape and activity is a priority item. As far as pregnant + breastfeeding, the source database has data for each but not both.
