Introduction
Nutrition tracker for an iPhone aimed to build a simple application with an intuitive user interface for
tracking Nutrition/Fitness on the phone. The user is provided with an interface to record his intake (meals, snacks, beverages etc.) and activities like bicycling, walking, dancing etc. The system will then
display the user's Nutrition and Fitness statistics based on the recorded meals and activities and user's height,
weight, age etc.
Intended User
Potential users include people that are Health/Nutrition conscious, prone to generic
health risks (diabetics, high cholesterol etc), and are inclined to lose weight.
Tasks Supported
- Add Food Items
- Add Activities
- Set and View Goals

Benefits and Drawbacks
Developing an application for iPhone was fun and very
challenging. We say so because the idea of implementing nutrition tracker in
iPhone required strong knowledge of both the application we intended to
develop and also how the iPhone works. Also fitting all controls and
implementing the workflow within a tiny screen of the handheld device was
challenging part.
One of the major risk in this kind of project is
related to development environment. The project required a Mac machine to
develop this application. Only one member had the Mac machine and that
created huge pressure during the implementation phase. Thus one should make
arrangements in advance if he is planning to develop such kind of
application.
