• Show HN: Nutrient insights through your grocery receipts

  Super interesting project. I also started once a project to index food and their ingredients via gpt. The inaccuracy let me abandon the project. But never tried the new gpts for that. One great resource is also: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Can you please share your opinion on app I made with barcode scanning kit and OpenFoodFacts API

  But I also uploaded my app on Play Store and Samsung Galaxy store. On play store I was not getting any downloads (I was aware that it's going to happen so it was not a disappointment) but on Galaxy Store I got around 50 downloads within few months and now just going to complete 1000 downloads (lol I didn't even expect it). I was enjoying android development to I decided to keep this app updated as my hobby... Source: 10 months ago

• Is there an app that allows you to see if chain restaurant foods have added sugar in them for free?

  Have a look at Open Food Facts. It’s crowd-sourced data, so no guarantees if the particular restaurant you’re interested is (yet) listed, but you can contribute too 🙂. Source: about 1 year ago

• Feeling discouraged

  I have tried crash diets in the past and have never felt this good or this energetic. I'm going to keep going like this until I'm at my goal weight. I gained 60 lbs from taking this antipsych med called zyprexa (it's known for extreme weight gain fast but I was like I'd rather be mentally ok than fit and thin right now so I'm basically trying to reverse it. I use loseit.com to track my cals and exercise works... Source: about 1 year ago

• no motivation

  Follow that guide and that timing, and you'll be able to start putting some data around your diet. Start with your regular, normal food. My favorite tool for this is now-better LoseIt! Over MyFitnessPal which has been on the decline for years. Source: about 1 year ago

• [23] I gained about 10 kgs in the past year. starting from zero knowledge on weight loss any advice? pics are from 2021 dec and last week (2023 mar)

  You can use a TDEE calculator to work out approximately how many calories your body is using per day. You need to eat in a deficit of around 15-20% of your TDEE to see decent weight loss. You can use an app like Lose It! To track your food intake and see how many calories you're eating. People are notoriously bad at underestimating the calories that they consume so I really recommend you do some calorie tracking.... Source: about 1 year ago

• Is 1200 calories actually enough?

  At 1200 kCal/day you'll certainly lose weight, but it probably won't be safe... My older-but-similarly-sized spouse gets about 1600 (to lose weight) if she sits on the couch, so being active will certainly bump that up. We use an app called lose it to track both food and exercise and it seems to do a decent enough job for me and her. So your 1200 may be fine if you're a couch potato, but it sounds like you need...

• Progress tracking app?

  I use LoseIt. I've used it since I started on phentermine back in 2007, so it has a lot of historical data for me. It has a good barcode scanner and remembers your most frequently added items so once you put in a meal, you can just click into that section when adding foods and it will have the full list of ingredients from meals there.
