My Snack Tracker

Functionality & Mechanism

This self-monitoring tool is designed for dietary tracking with a specific focus on energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods and beverages. The system utilizes a targeted data entry protocol, requiring users to log only snack items rather than comprehensive daily dietary intake. It integrates pre-set daily caloric targets and employs an algorithm to generate individualized data visualizations. The interface displays the sources and cumulative totals of consumed calories from snack items over daily, weekly, and monthly intervals, providing a longitudinal record of consumption patterns to support self-regulation of dietary choices.

Its primary function is to provide a data-driven record of caloric intake from specific food categories to support awareness of dietary patterns.
