Health Tracker

Introduction

Health Tracker is a daily calorie tracking app built using Ruby on Rails. It's core features are the following:

• Create "Days" for everyday you want to track
• Associate one or more "Meals" to that day
• Associate one or more "Workouts" to that day
• A "Meal" saves the meal name, calories taken, and foods eaten
• A "Workout" saves the workout name, calories burned, and exercises done
• The app automatically calculates the how much calories you've taken through eating
• The app automatically calculates the how much calories you've burned through working out
• Based on the total calories, the app shows if you've overeaten and gained calories or if you've worked out enough to lose some weight
• It has interactive and appealing charts for both meals and workouts using Chart.js
• Supports creating, editing and deleting of "Days", "Meals" and "Workouts"
