About The Project

For our term 3 project we were tasked to create a application that can help the user in regards to their health. I decided to create a app that will help the user eat healthier and know what they are putting into their bodies.

Nutrify helps you "nutrify" your food by telling you the nutrients of your food. It gives you the food's amount of energy, calories, fibre, fat and protein. After that you can search recipes that contain those food. You see all the ingredients in the recipe, and also the same nutrients.

Built With

This Android application was build using:

• Xamarin Forms
• C#
• Edamam
• Clarifai
• SQLite

Installation

1. DownloadVisual Studio 2019 https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/ and Include Xamarin Forms in the installation process
2. Clone the repo

git clone https:://github.com/ArmandPretorius/nutrify.git

3. Then open the project in Visual Studio

Features

Nutrify food

Find all the necessary nutrients - energy, protein, fat, carbs and fiber - of your food with a simple search. This feature is created using Edamam's nutrition API.

Find Recipes

You can find recipes with your food as ingredient with how long it takes to make and how many calories it contains. This feature is created using Edamam's recipe API.

Recipe Book

You can save recipes in your Recipe Book to view later. This feature used SQLite to store the recipes on your device.

AI

Not to sure what you are eating or to lazy to type out the name, simply take a photo of your food. This feature used Clarifai's Object Recognition Engine to identify the food.

Usage

When opening the app, you are taken to the search page, where you enter the food you want to analize. The food can be anything from an apple to a Big Mac. The app will nutrify your food, giving you the nutrients in the food.

From there, you can choose to search for recipes containing the food you nutrified. You get a list of recipes with each recipe showing an image, the recipe name, the time it takes to prepare and the amount of calories in the dish. When selecting a recipe, you can view the ingridients of the recipe and also the amount of nutrients in the dish.

Logic

The app is programmed using Xamarin.Forms with C# handling the logic. For a backend, Nutrify uses Edamam's Food and Recipe API containing all the nutrients of the food. https://developer.edamam.com/

At the moment the App is only available on Android. The target operating system version is from Oreo 5.1 to Pie 9.

Challenges

• I'd like to finish it for iOS as well.

• I'd also like to add the ability to share a recipe with your friends on WhatsApp, email etc.

• I also didn't have time to implement a filter on the recipe page.
