MEAL TRACKER

Project Description
Supervisor

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy diet is a common goal, but the tedious process of manually logging every meal often leads to frustration and abandonment. This project addresses that challenge by developing the Meal Tracker, an intelligent application designed to make dietary monitoring effortless and sustainable. Our solution leverages the power of image recognition and machine learning. Instead of manual entry, users can simply take a picture of their meal. The application automatically identifies the food items, estimates portion sizes, and provides an immediate nutritional analysis, including calorie count. By removing the primary barrier of manual data entry, the Meal Tracker encourages consistent use and fosters greater awareness of eating habits. The application features a clean, intuitive interface, progress tracking tools, and personalized email reports to keep users motivated. It aims to empower individuals to make informed dietary choices, support weight management goals, and contribute to long-term health and well-being. This project demonstrates the practical application of modern AI technologies to create a user-centric tool that simplifies healthy living.

Web App Development: Web Development research in Computer Science and Information Technology focuses on the design, creation, and optimization of websites and web applications that are accessible over the internet or private networks. This research area spans a variety of topics, including front-end and back-end development, web frameworks, web performance, user experience (UX) design, security, and emerging web technologies. Front-end development research explores the design and functionality of the user-facing side of web applications. This involves studying languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as popular frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js, which help create dynamic, responsive, and interactive user interfaces. Researchers in this area often focus on improving the accessibility and usability of websites across different devices and browsers. Back-end development focuses on the server side of web applications, where databases, server logic, and application functionality are managed. Research in this area includes database management, server configuration, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), and the use of frameworks such as Node.js, Django, and Ruby on Rails. It also involves optimization of server-side processes to handle large-scale traffic, improve load times, and ensure seamless data processing.
