Budgeting Bites

I made a web application called Budgeting Bites. It uses AI to capture a person's meal and outputs the nutritional value of that meal. Originally, I wanted to use the FDA's public database on foods. However, I found that the database was a bit inconsistent and that the AI knowledge on food was vast.

This was a great lesson on more advanced front end development as well as using an AI API. I created this because I wanted to track calories in as little effort as possible. I can simply state what I had to eat and got my calories counted. You can also save items for later and sum up all items in the save section. This data is stored in the browser and accessed later when you return to the site to repopulate the save section, if you choose to enable that feature.
