Project Summary
The complexity of meal planning ranges from ordering fast food
and buying ready-to-eat meals to planning out complex meals. In
most cases, people plan out what meals they’re going to make along
with what groceries they need, usually on a weekly basis. This task
can end up requiring a significant amount of time and consideration,
especially when factoring in diets and fixed budgets. Poor planning
also results in wasted food and money and unhealthy diets. Our
approach towards simplifying this process is to create an easy-to-use
web application that could handle much of the work involved with
planning meals. The app can create a grocery list based on meals you
have selected in the click of a button and filter out meals based on dietary
restrictions saving users time and effort. It can also allow users to enter in
what groceries they already have and recommend recipes accordingly,
reducing food waste.
