Project Info:

The project was one of necessity in a previous business of mine, which was a personal training gym. I was using a piece of software to help keep track of clients data and plan nutrition. Over COVID 19 lockdowns this business unfortunately stopped trading and this left me in an unfortunate position of needing something else once we returned from lockdown.

I had been learning software development (web development) for around 4 months and had moved on to learning PHP Laravel framework and so used this as an opportunity to tick two boxes, fill the gap that the previous software had left and also create a piece of software that solved a real world business problem utilising the technology stacks I had been learning.

This had been a constantly developing project, firstly starting with some simple CRUD goal setting targets, moving on to graphs and manipulating data for monthly averages. I then built in a calorie and macronutrient calculator into the User model with some manipulations based on how I would normally adjust clients nutrition e.g calorie deficit adjustments and macronutrient multipliers.

I then implemented an ingredient and recipe database, linking the recipe model to the ingredient model to allow recipes to be generated using the ingredients from the database, e.g 150g chicken from the ingredient database to a recipe, which would then auto calculate the total calories and macro nutrients.

Lastly I created a daily and weekly meal planner using targeted user macronutrient data and actual macronutrient data to help clients build up daily meal plans and plan ahead.
