Inspiration

We are all into the gym and an important aspect of the gym is your diet. Having a good diet and help your gym progress so we wanted figure out a way to help us form good diet habits. After researching about diets we learned that 1/3 of all greenhouse gasses produced our from our food production. This caused us to start wondering how we can make healthy diets that are sustainable to help reduce our carbon footprint.

What it does

After completing a survey about what food you're interested in, Gemini AI matches you with different sustainable recipes based on your preferences. You can favorite recipes as well as search for new ones.

How we built it

We built it with a react front and express, node.js for the backend. We used heuristic embedding with Gemini to generate personal recipes, that adapt as you use the app through the process of liking and saving recipes

Challenges we ran into

Time management was the biggest issue we ran into. The key to this project is dividing your time across all parts of the project to ensure everything gets done in a timely manner. This was a challenge we faced at first, but after learning how to properly manage our time we started making a lot of progress.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We our proud to complete our first hackathon. We didn't know too much as a group about this experience, but we're glad we did and proud we made something new in less than a day.

What we learned

Something we learned was how to incorporate the Gemini AI prompt into react efficiently, and how to communicate between the server and client with a quick speed to not slow down the app performance.

What's next for Food Fix

In the future, we’d love to add new features, such as a meal prep/planning feature, which would suggest meals that can be mass produced that would keep in the fridge. We’d also like to work with nutritionists and environmental scientists to maximize the positive impact of our food.
