CaloriKat

Inspiration

1) We became inspired due to seeing the times that the Howard athletes would get up in the morning to train and the effort they put into their eating habits to stay healthy and fit.

2) After researching about the health, food and wellness theme we found out that there are numerous food deserts in the DMV community and diseases such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes plague residents.

What it does

1) This app will provide education on your food choices and provide guidance on how to eat healthily.

2) The app can take and scan a picture of food and give an approximation of the number of calories present.

3) The app also gives meal recommendations based on how many calories are remaining
