Custom Joomla Component and Mobile App: Meal Planner with Calorie Counter

We have an eCommerce site in development. We are utilizing Joomla 1.5.21 and VirtueMart 1.1.5. We want to offer a web-based (and mobile) tool for our users to track diet progress and plan healthy meals. We are open to suggestions for the best way to achieve this - be it as an integrated Joomla Component, or a standalone web app which we tie into Joomla. ## Deliverables **Requirements** * Utilize the FatSecret Platform API ([login to view URL]) to access food calorie information *Back-End (Administrator)* * Add Diet Phases (the diet we prescribe has multiple phases - approved foods vary by phase). * Add food categories (protein, vegetable, etc.) * Add Foods (select from list of foods via FatSecret;) * Associate food items with 1 or more categories/phases * need means to input new food items which may not be in FatSecret database * Food Name * Serving Size * Nutritional info (calories, protein, etc.) * Configure Diet Phases * Identify number of calories per meal by phase * Modify existing entries *Meal Planner *The Meal Planner displays all food in a given phase broken down by individual meal. * Meals cannot repeat protein selection (example, if Chicken is used for lunch, it cannot be used for the following meal). * Configure Meal Planner * Identify quantity of items to be used per meal (by phase) * Identify number of meals per day (by phase) * Name meals (by phas * Print-Friendly PDF * Configure logo * Configure text (header, footer, etc.) *Shopping List* * Built using the meal planner output * Displays food items to be purchased based on user's selected meal plan * Print-Friendly PDF * Configure logo * Configure text (header, footer, etc.) *Weight and Measurement Tracker* * Configure options * Enter new measurement fields * Neck * Waist * Etc.

User selects the foods which they prefer. This will act as a filter for the meal planner - reducing the food items available for meals. *Meal Planner* * Displays by Diet Phase (use tabs for this - Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, etc.) * Number of meals per day varies by phase (configured in admin section) * User can override selection and choose their own items from the approved list * Warning if they select same protein as the previous meal * Meals cannot exceed total number of per-meal calories as set in back-end * Forward looking options * 1 Day * 1 week (7 Days) * 2 weeks (14 Days) * Diet Plan (either 3 weeks or 6 weeks) * Email - user can email meal plan * Print - user can view a print-friendly PDF of their meal plan * Configurable Logo (Admin back-end) * Configurable header, foot (Admin back-end) * Will provide mock-up *Shopping List* * Pulls from Meal Planner * displays food items by the time option selected (1 Day, 1 week, etc.) * Provides print-friendly PDF with food items needed * Check box next to each item (to mark off in market when item is purchased). * Configurable Logo (Admin back-end) * Configurable header, foot (Admin back-end) * Will provide mock-up *Weight and Measurements Tracker * * In user Administration * User can enter weight daily * May modify previous entries * May force the date (i.e. enter yesterday's weight if it was skipped) * Date defaults to current day (today) * Use form field, with calendar picker * Email reminder sent if no weight entered in previous 24 hours * User can turn off reminder emails * User may enter measurements daily * Reminder email sent if no measurements entered in previous week * User can turn off reminder emails Food Tracker * User can import their meal plan with one click * User can manually enter foods by meal * Used when user doesn't use meal planner or when foods consumed differ from meal planner *MOBILE * This may need to be separated as its own project - please let us know if you have suggestions.
