Title

Story: Perform Calculations on Input Data

Description

As a user, I want the app to perform calculations on the submitted data so that I can receive useful insights.

Acceptance Criteria

• Upon submission, the backend performs calculations and returns the results.
• The calculated results are accurate and verified against test cases.

I can implement the Mifflin equation for BMR calculation and propose the following changes:

Suggested changes to implement the Mifflin equation

1. The Mifflin class should be implemented in app/src/bmr/helpers/equations.py
2. A new test script should be created for Mifflin class unit tests: tests/test_mifflin_eqs.py
3. Unit conversions should be implemented using the pint package.
4. Modified requirement file to include pint package: app/requirements.txt

These broad-stroke descriptions should highlight the files to be modified/created. This excludes the front end, but that can be addressed separately after the class is created and all tests are passed.

Feel free to let me know if you have any more suggestions.

I'd suggest to add a new interface with corresponding methods for the mifflin eqs without removing what the module has; when everything is working we do the cleaning. Also, as a 5th step, consider integrating the new feature to the model.py file which is where the equations module is actually used. Lastly, consider breaking down the story in tasks (your Suggested changes to implement the Mifflin equation serve that purpose) using the task issue template. I know it can be a headache but that will help keep track of progress more accurate.
