Inspiration

Many people around the world have eating disorders that affect their diets detrimentally. This causes many people to go to unnecessary doctor visits due to them not being aware about proper nutrition.

What it does

We created a program to help people know how to lose/gain weight safely, without hurting their bodies.

How we built it

We coded our program in repl.it using Python. We used a combination of defined functions, while loops, if/else statements, calculations, and user input statements to create this user-interactive application.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into several challenges throughout coding our program, but the major problems came in the coding of the redo functions, specifically in working with the input statements and turning those into integers for numeric comparison. We used try/except statements and were experiencing difficulty before finally making it successful and correct.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our basal metabolic rate and redo functions, our organization in input and print statements, and our implementation of complex calculations. Additionally, we are proud of our perseverance through the trials and tribulations of this project.

What we learned

We learned a lot of different things about healthy lifestyles and the factors of eating and workout habits as they pertain to intake of carbs, fat, and protein. We also learned how to organize our code well, work very efficiently, and use try/except statements effectively.

What's next for Weight Management and Healthy Habits Program

We want to implement a machine learning model that, with the help of a great dataset, can predict diagnoses for eating disorders. Also, we want to have it create a specific and detailed eating plan with certain foods based on the recommended carb, fat, and protein intakes that our program currently computes.
