Made during the first annual M&T Bank's Meet & Hack in 2022. A website that uses the Django web framework and a PostgresSQL database to enable user authentication. Front-end built with HTML template files, CSS, and Bootstrap.
The website is hosted live at https://health-hacks-2022.herokuapp.com/. Just register an account with a username and a password, and you can play around with the website.
This project was inspired around making beginner fitness easy to get started. Many sites have a massive amount of information that leaves its users more confused than informed. With our group being new to web development, we decided making a beginner-friendly health website would be a new and exciting project to tackle.
Our website has a User Log in option to save a user's information such as first name, last name, email, calorie information and selected fitness plan. In our calorie calculator we take the user's age, height, weight, gender, activity level, and goals. Using this information we use the Harris-Benedict formula to calculate a person's required calories for their goals. In our Fitness Plan section we ask our user for a number of days they would like to exercise per week. Based on the number of days selected 1-2 sample workouts are should with a brief description and the user can save this workout to their profile.
