Inspiration

To help people get started on their journey of healthy eating.

What it does

We made a webpage that connects to FoodData Central API. The website takes ingredients and the quantity of said ingredient as input, and using the API finds the nutritional values of all the ingredients both separately and as a whole.

How we built it

We first the javascript code that fetches info about the ingredients using the API and then integrated this code into a website.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating the API into the website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Finishing the project on time.

What we learned

We learned a lot about how to use APIs.

What's next for NutriPal

Adding more functions in the website itself that help the user make healthier eating decisions, such as recommending alternatives to an unhealthy ingredient.
