NotJustNoodles

Inspiration

As students, it's easy to grab what's convenient without considering its nutritional value. NotJustNoodles is a simple, intuitive macro tracker that lets you effortlessly log your meals and stay on track with your macro goals, helping you maintain a balanced diet.

What it does

Users can set personalized goals for calories, protein, fat, and carbs. They can quickly input foods either by adding barcode numbers or searching manually, and NotJustNoodles will calculate their current macro intake, showing how they align with their daily goals.

How we built it

We used a static site generator based on Vue and Vite, and used Firebase for the backend. We pulled data from number of APIs including OpenFoodFacts and Canadian Nutrition File.

Challenges we ran into

A project of this scale was new to all of us, so learned a lot as we went. Setting up our environment was the most difficult part.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We got a somewhat working product.

What we learned

Most of what we did was new to us so many new skills were learned.

What's next for NotJustNoodles

We have lots of features we would love to add to NotJustNoodles. Adding additional nutrient information and tracking widgets, barcode scanning capabilities, a calendar to track over time, recommended macro intake based on age, weight, and biological gender.
