Calorie and Nutrients Counter 1.1

Welcome to "Calorie and Nutrients Counter (CNC)", a practical application designed for individuals seeking to manage their caloric intake and nutritional balance effectively.

This app offers a comprehensive assessment of Body Mass Index (BMI), alongside categorizing BMI classifications and estimating energy needs for both men and women. The estimation of energy requirements adheres to the "Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy - 2023", ensuring users receive reliable information tailored to contemporary nutritional standards.

Additionally, CNC presents the Healthy U.S. Style and Healthy Vegetarian Style dietary patterns based on specific calorie levels. Users can visualize their food group distribution through bar charts that categorize Vegetables, Dairy, and Fruits across various caloric intakes.

A user-friendly drop-down menu allows access to an extensive array of food groups, including Starches, Fruits, Milk and Dairy, Vegetables, Combination Foods, Proteins and Fats, as well as Sweets and Desserts. This feature enables users to identify the caloric and nutrient composition—including Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, Sugars, Sodium, and Cholesterol—before making dietary choices. Thus, users can make informed decisions about healthier food selections based on detailed nutrient content.

The application meticulously tracks the caloric count and nutrient values of selected foods until the estimated energy requirement is achieved. It can calculate nutrients from individual or multiple food selections across different categories simultaneously, displaying results through various chart formats (Donut, Bar) along with nutrient percentage breakdowns.

Data utilized within the app is sourced from US FoodData Central, ensuring accuracy and reliability in nutritional information.
