Meta Nutrition - Smart meal plan generator and food tracker

@ian_o_brien Whoops thank you for pointing this out! We'll fix it asap! Hope you liked the rest of the app :)

@ian_o_brien We just fixed the issue with the inputs if you wanna give it a second try!

@shaker_curious Glad you like it! :D

@sparkyuk11 Thank you! You hate veggies? oh no! Right now we are working on implementing restrictions so you can do exactly that. We previously had it in our signup form but need more time to test it out and make sure it functions as intended.

@sparkyuk11 a comment on "...vegetables, which of course is the only thing you can eat to lose weight" Um, that's not actually true. You can eat anything and lose weight as long as you consume less energy than you use ^-^ You could technically lose weight by only eating ice cream as long as you follow that rule. Of course it would cause all sorts of problems for your body but you would lose weight.

@anna_0x I know, I was being silly :) However, I feel it only correct that I try your Ice cream suggestion in the name of fact checking....

@jeroendeprest The algorithm is always improving and we try to generate more and more accurate meal plans. Even if the nutrients are off you can still easily customize the plan and add your custom foods to reach your nutrition targets!

@jeroendeprest Hi Jeroen, our algorithm got much better and I'm sure it will cover your needs perfectly! If you wanna give it a second chance, we'll offer you a whole free month free for the PRO version :)

@qhameem People's precious time. I am just kidding. The tagline should be changed though

@qhameem @rahulvats haha appreciate the tough love. We changed the tagline :D

@gaialiciabalossi Thank you for the feedback! Which part of the layout did you find confusing? You can add foods from the 'Explore foods tab' or create custom foods. Then you'll be able to add them to your meal plan. But I can see why that's not intuitive! Will make it more user friendly :)

@eglove Sorry you had a bad experience with it. We will look into these issues and fix them asap!

@simonemeta Calorie and nutrition trackers I think are one of the hardest problems to tackle. Because A) Calories are an outdated measurement, those numbers come from setting food on fire and seeing how hot it burns. B) There is no universal number to watch. And C) The way the FDA categorizes nutrition is inconsistent. Why is isomaltulose considered a sugar and allulose a carb? Both could be in either category. Both are perfectly healthy and hard to put into a group with unhealthy sugars and carbs... At the end of the day I think simple trackers like this don't do anything more than a food journal. Writing down what you eat and noting whether you think it's "healthy" or "unhealthy" is just as effective. If I were building this, I wouldn't show any numbers and focus on the diets. Anyway, separate your components out (Stripe is loading on the profile creation page? Why?) and move JS to server-side. Fixing performance problems will help you out a lot.

@eglove I agree that calories and nutrition estimates for pretty much any label or foods are not accurate; however, just by having a metric to monitor people become way more aware of what and how they eat which eventually leads them to make healthier dietary decisions. We tackle the simple tracker problem by generating actual custom diet plans for the users. That's our distinguishing factor. Other apps make you do a ton of work tracking foods but don't provide any suggestion for how or what you should eat. We constantly speak with dietitians and consult research studies to provide very tailored nutritional advice. The automated tracker is just a plus! For the performance issues, we are constantly improving and making the platform faster and lighter for the user. We just switched to NextJS to improve speed, but there is still much work to do :)

@porlando Glad you liked it! :)
