The Food Amendment

Inspiration

During our lives, we have seen people struggling to lose weight and instead just accepted being overweight. We hate to see people unable to achieve their goals, so we hope to provide them with a new solution to their issues.

What it does

A user fills out information regarding their personal details and their goals. Our program takes in these details and creates a recommended diet for them.

How we built it

We build this project using React in Visual Studio Code. We also implemented the OpenAI and FireBase APIs in order to build this project.

Challenges we ran into

While attempting in implement auth0, we discovered the fact that auth0 is very inconvenient to use. Through this, we decided to go all in with firebase for our backend. During the implementation of our project, we also ran into major problem with the OpenAI API as they required money. We tried to debug this issue, which took 4 hours, and ended up having to pay this fee anyways.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are happy to have gotten our AI model and database set up so we are able to store users data instead of them having to input their information every time they log in. This allows for them to have a personalized experience and does not require them to redundantly fill out the same information.

What we learned

We learned that when using working with different API's, things break. This is fine, and a part of life and learning experience. It is important to learn to get past your issues. Hang your head high and move onwards!

What's next for The Food Amendment

We will hope to continue developing our own model, trained on user data and thus will be more accurate. We also hope to integrate an exercise regiment to our program.
