Healthy Eats

Inspiration

Eating out is always fun... but not always healthy. We wanted a way to innovate a solution so that users could search for a food, but also pick from the healthiest choices; all with the tastiness of restaurant food!

What it does

This app allows users to choose from the healthiest restaurants and ingredients based off their preferred meals and food choices. The app shows directions, and how healthy the choices are from several restaurants, and all of this will be generated based off what a user wants to eat.

How we built it

The frontend was made with flutter and libraries such as google maps apis, charts, and firebase. The backend is a python flask server using selenium and to scrape and store data.

Challenges we ran into

Scraping to get nearby restaurants and the menus for each was a difficult process, and problems occurred from captchas to loading time. Over time (a lot), these problems were fixed to have a bug free backend. In addition to this the frontend had trouble incorporating google maps into the application, but in the end it is a great ui to look at.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of having a fully functional application (server also hosted!) that can really make a positive impact in our lives and on this world.

What we learned

We learned so much, especially among scraping, hosting servers, and displaying complicated maps, and now we are able to use these newfound skills to help the world with this app.
