Desperate to improve my health despite being broke, I was looking for a way to get the maximum fibre and protein from my food for the minimal cost and calories. I started entering in all the nutritional data from food I bought into a spreadsheet, calculating and plotting those protein:fibre:cost:calories ratios.</p> <p>Later that year I started to create and analyse recipes which combined different ingredients. This quickly became cumbersome in a spreadsheet, so I started a Django project initially called the <em>Price And Nutrition Tabulation System</em> (P.A.N.T.S) for storing and visualising the data for both recipes and ingredients.</p> <p>Soon I also realised since I was entering in all my recipes here it would also be easier if I used it as my daily calorie counter and added a "food diary" to the system, renaming it the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/dylanleigh/PriceAndNutritionTrackingSystem">Price And Nutrition Tracking System</a>.</p> <p>Example screenshot of the diary view:</p> <a class="reference external image-reference" href="http://dylanleigh.net/galleries/software-screenshots/pants-diary-screenshot.png"> <img alt="/galleries/software-screenshots/pants-diary-screenshot.thumbnail.png" src="http://dylanleigh.net/galleries/software-screenshots/pants-diary-screenshot.thumbnail.png"> </a> <p><a href="http://dylanleigh.net/posts/introducing-the-price-and-nutrition-tracking-system/">Read more…</a> (3 min remaining to read)</p></div>cookingdisabilityfoodnutritionsite-updatessoftwarehttp://dylanleigh.net/posts/introducing-the-price-and-nutrition-tracking-system/Wed, 06 Feb 2019 16:09:15 GMThttp://dylanleigh.net/posts/rumours-of-my-death-have-been-slightly-exaggerated/Dylan Leigh<p>My illnesses have been a bit worse over summer and I dropped off the internet for a while.
