BiteByte

About the Project

I created BiteByte to democratize access to personalized nutrition planning that typically requires expensive consultations with dietitians or nutritionists. The application features a comprehensive calorie calculator based on the Harris-Benedict equation, factoring in gender, age, weight, height, and activity level. Users can generate highly customized meal plans by specifying dietary restrictions, cuisine preferences, macronutrient distributions, and even foods to include or exclude. What makes BiteByte unique is its ability to adapt to different skill levels in the kitchen - from simple meal preparation to advanced culinary techniques - while maintaining nutritional targets. The AI-powered backend leverages OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini model to create detailed meal plans with exact nutritional breakdowns, recipe instructions, and consolidated shopping lists.
