foodlog 0.1.0

A simple CLI timer to calculate fasting zones.

🍞 🍏 🥩 Food Diary

This script calculates approximate number of calories, proteins, fats & carbohydrates which I consume during a day.

Of course, I'm aware that there are countless tools to solve the task, on smartphones especially. Furthermore, I've tried to use many of them, but gave up eventually. Some of them lose my data without a reason, some have terrible UI, and almost each one dreams of selling me a paid subscription. Gosh, I just need one simple function!

So I decide:

☺ Installation

pip install foodlog 

🤔 How to use it?

There are two YAML files: catalog.yaml which contains food you used to consume and journal.yaml which contains products you have eaten.

Let's imagine that today is March 27, and you have eaten two apples for a lunch. If it's first time you eat an apple, you open catalog.yaml and write something like:

apple: 
  calories: 54
  protein:  0.4
  fat:      0.4
  carbs:    9.8

Then you open journal.yaml and write the name of food you just added to the catalog and its weights in grams:

2022-04-27:

- apple: 114
- apple: 129

First line here is a current date in the YYYY-MM-DD format. The journal may consist of many of them. For example:

2022-04-26:
  
- apple: 120  
- bread: 403
- pizza: 356

2022-04-27:

- apple: 114
- apple: 129

Having catalog & journal both filled, it's possible to see how many calories and macronutrients you've consumed. If your files in C:\FoodDiary, run this:

foodlog

For instance, script output may look like this:
