Inspiration

We wanted to provide students at A&M the same luxury that celebrities/influencers have when it comes to making choices regarding their meals and keeping in shape. Our website can help people reach their weight loss goals through places they eat at everyday, like Sbisa

What it does

Basically, it takes in certain health metrics and then provides you your calorie deficit. Based on your calorie deficit, the web page will provide you with meals to eat that will keep you under your calorie deficit

How we built it

We built the front end through CSS, HTML, JavaScript and the backend used python, flask, jinga, firebase/firestore, and open ai, and google oauth

Challenges we ran into

CSS was really difficult to code from scratch and at first grabbing the data from the dine on campus site was really hard (we tried web scraping it initially). Another one was finding all the possible combinations of food that could provide the user with to keep up with their defecit

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud that our UI on the main site isn't too hard on the eyes (it's pretty basic though) and I'm proud that we were able to collect all the data from sbisa on the nutrition of their food

What we learned

We learned a lot about web scraping, prompting through open AI, and front end development. We also learned that we should set more smaller goals, keeping a much broader goal as the base for motivation and the smaller goals to keep us on track

What's next for Aggie Meal Prep

We are planning on adding a function for calorie surplus, and including other dining places, and including other factors for creating meals, and UI improvements
