SpareSnack - Diet Management

SpareSnack is a diet management platform initially made for me and my girlfriend (busy people who like consistency). It organically grew into a platform for sharing diets between users. Counting your calories can prove to be very difficult and sometimes we just want to eat the thing that we ate a week ago.

Features #

• Your dining plans are categorized into days, which are comprised of meals, which are themselves comprised of recipes
• You can plan your days forward in time
• Days can be cloned to eat something from a previous date
• Multiple days or time ranges can be made into reusable Diets which can be shared with other users, or just with yourself.

Why even make it? #

I was looking for something which can generate my diet plan dynamically based on the things that I like. I also wanted to share those plans with my girlfriend and be able to stay consistent with my diet, this sprouted an idea for a diet sharing system. The initial idea grew in complexity (that’s also why automatic diet generation doesn’t work) and became this behemoth of a project.

This is a rewrite of the old version in Django (also in Django), it looks and performs better. I also learned a lot of programming stuff with the first version and implemented some tricks (like tests lol) in this one. Enjoy.

Where can I find it? #

I’m working on taking the project live at snack.piaseczny.dev! For now, you can check out the code on GitHub and build it yourself. Happy dieting!
