I eat low carb, so I tried customizing for such a diet. Here are my thoughts:
First, huge kudos for allowing me to customize macronutrients that way.
Second, it would be nice to have a "How do you eat?" as the first step. You could have options like "Low calorie", "Low carb", "Paleo", etc. That could pre-set macro-nutrients and food-type checkboxes. The next step could be customization of important features (calories for low-cal, carbs for low-carb, ?? for paleo).
Finally, for my low carb diet, I unchecked the expected: grains, beans, some fruit, some dairy. Then hit generate. I kept getting bacon and pecans. A lot.
Anyway, this is awesome, and I look forward to seeing what it evolves into.
- count 13y agoUh, it has that already. Go back in and fill out the nutrition profile thing, and it'll let you pick 'Paleo' or 'Low Carb/Keto', etc.
- papa_bear 13y agoIt does, but he's right about the abundance of pecans and bacon. Adding more low carb options is one of my top priorities.
- SoftwareMaven 13y agoThe problem with headers that never leave is that you can't easily tell when you wind up scrolled 20% down a page. If you click on "Customize", you are scrolled below. If you click on "Meal Options" (or notice you are scrolled) you get to see it. My point remains, putting that up front would be more useful. I came really close to ignoring it when I saw calories was the only thing that showed up front and center. I decided to dig deeper since it was a "Show HN".
