Nutrition diary #284

Closed rolandgeider closed 4 years ago

rolandgeider commented 8 years ago

The user should be able to enter the food he/she actually ate during the day, as opposed to what was planed with the nutritional plan.

rolandgeider commented 8 years ago

Possible workflow:

the user clicks on a "add diary entry" or such
the system tries to guess what meal this is supposed to be, based on the time. The user can also either select a different one or enter custom ingredients. Perhaps also present past meals eaten at roughly the same time?
the system shows the current daily calories as well as the difference between the plan and reality, macronutrients as well. Possibly color code this?

I think this would be enough for a first step, there are many possibilities for improvement (e.g. show a graph with the planed/actual calories together with the body weight to see how one influences the other). What do you think @ywecur ?

ywecur commented 8 years ago

I can think of several additions to this, but as a start to the IIFYM model it should suffice. For a minimal viable product I'd say to leave out your second point and limit it to:

Require user to enter caloric and macronutrient presets
Add food entry options
System shows daily caloric goal & how much is left
System shows daily macronutrient goals & how much is left of each

I could upload a sketch of my UI idea if you'd like.

rolandgeider commented 8 years ago

Sure, sketches are always useful

I have started working on this on the nutrition-diary branch. To keep things simple, I have started with a very simple data model: there are log entries that are associated with a plan, they have ingredients, a datetime and an optional comment. Then we can just sum up the calories for the day and compare it.

Status here: the only thing missing for a first version is the input form. I want to use angular for this to make something faster and user friendlier than the rest of the site as well as use it as a guinea pig to see if all these technologies the cool kids are talking about are really so awesome ;)

How is it coming along?

rolandgeider commented 8 years ago

Didn't have time to work on this the last weeks, hope that will change soon!

muramasatheninja commented 6 years ago

Any chance progress has been made on this?

rolandgeider commented 4 years ago

A simple version of this is implemented and merged in master. Improvements are always possible and will surely come in the future
