Developed an AI powered meal planner that helps users schedule meals, discover recipes, and track calorie intake through a simple calendar based experience.
Overview
I built a meal planner app that helps users plan their daily meals while tracking and managing their calorie intake. The goal was to make healthy eating feel simple, organized, and realistic, not overwhelming.
Key Features
Home screen showing scheduled meals at a glance
Meal scheduling to plan breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Discovery section for finding new meal ideas
Planner view designed like a calendar for weekly planning
Account section for personal settings and calorie goals
AI assisted meal suggestions based on user preferences and goals
My Role
I designed and built the app end to end. This included product thinking, UI structure, feature planning, and implementation. I also integrated AI to support smart meal suggestions and calorie awareness.
Tech Stack and AI
Language and framework, JavaScript with a modern frontend framework
Backend logic for meals and calories management
AI integration using a large language model API to generate meal ideas and assist planning
Impact
The app helps users stay consistent with their eating habits by turning meal planning into a visual and easy process. Users can clearly see what they plan to eat and how it affects their calorie intake, which supports healthier daily decisions.
Trade offs and Challenges
Keeping AI suggestions useful without overcomplicating the experience
Balancing flexibility with structure so users do not feel restricted
Prioritizing core planning features over advanced nutrition analytics to keep the app simple and fast
Outcome
The result is a clean, practical meal planner that combines planning, discovery, and AI assistance in one place, focused on real everyday use rather than perfection.
