FINAL WORK - CALORIE COUNTER!

FINAL WORK - CALORIE COUNTER!

In today's lesson, I completed my calorie counter! I improved it and added the last touches to it to make it a successful calorie counter. I did not have time to let others try my calorie counter but I tried it myself and it worked as planned! Below is a screenshot of my final piece of work.


In my calorie counter, I used spinners, lists and option buttons (etc). They worked perfectly fine! As I would change the age, height and weight of someone the other information would change (like the daily calorie intake, etc). If I had more time and if I had the correct formulas, I would have included the persons BMR. 


The formula above on the screenshot is a formula to tell us the number of calories in the meal picked by a person. Every time someone picks a different meal, the calorie changes to the correct information. 


If a someone eats junk food, it shows the total number of calories and it also recommends the number of calories you should have in a day! Every time someone changes their gender, age, height and weight, the recommended calorie intake changes. 


If someone eats healthy, it calculates the number of calories for the whole day and compares it to the number of calories that should you should have daily to keep you fit and healthy.


Your calorie intake is your recommended BMI. The formula above shows the formula for calculating the BMI for man and woman. If someones weight (etc) is different to others, then their calorie intake changes.


The formula above is a formula that tells someone the number of calories they should have per day. The number of calories they should have changes if the person is male and it changes if a person is female. Even if a male and a female picks the same food, the number of calories they should have would change because they are not the same gender and are different. 

If someone goes over the number of calories they should have to be healthier, then they should eat less of that and exercise daily. They should be very fit!


Every time someone eats the right amount or eats a little less than their daily calorie intake, a message pops up and says "Great! You are eating the right amount of food and you are fit!"


Every time someone goes over their daily calorie intake by eating unhealthily, a message pops up and says "You are eating too much fatty foods! Eat healthier, exercise and stay fit!"


I really enjoyed this topic because it taught me new things that I never knew about on excel. I think my project was very successful!
