Idea

Android / iOS mobile app to help people on a "carb cycling" diet.

Features

• Food database for adding food items to your daily food diary.

• Easy Setup

  • Create your profile

    • Age,
    • Height
    • Weight
    • Body type (Ectomorph, Mesomorph etc)
      • Anything else needed to calculate RMR - calculation as per this

  • Create your Goal Types

    • Edit your "Goal Types" - e.g "Low Carb", "Medium Carb" and "High Carb", will be pre-created Goal Types, and set to values based on your body type.

      • Each Goal type has:
        • Name e.g "Low Carb"
        • Macronutrient Ratio e.g:
          • "Carb: 20%"
          • "Protein: 40%"
          • "Fat: 40%"
        • Total calories: e.g 1300 kCal OR No goal for calories (i.e if you just want to eat the correct ratio and don't care about reaching specific calory)

    • Create a Weekly Plan

      • Enter your caloric intake goal for this week, either as an average per day (e.g 1300), or a total for the week.
        • Do you want to lose, maintain weight this week? (Could use this, plus the user's RMR calc to suggest a weekly caloric intake goal)
      • Assign goals to week days:
        • Mon = "High Carb"
        • Tues = "Low Carb"
        • Etc

    • Track Day in Week

      • Meal Plan
        • Add food item (breakfast, lunch, dinner etc)
        • See Current Macro levels vs Goal for Day

[TODO]

• Create solution (.sln) and projects in the /src directory.
• Make sure global.json has the right version of the .net sdk.
• For Azure Devops builds:
  • Import pipelines yaml file into Azure Devops pipeline.

Notes

Macronutrients:

1 gram of protein = 4 calories 1 gram of carbohydrate = 4 calories 1 gram of fat = 9 calories (1 gram of alcohol = 7 calories)
