NutriPal

NutriPal is a user-friendly diet information website that simplifies the daily diet logging process. With NutriPal, users can effortlessly record their meals by inputting simple descriptive sentences about what they ate for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Our innovative application takes these user inputs and sends them to ChatGPT, a powerful language model, along with additional instructions. ChatGPT then generates insightful responses in the form of a JSON object, providing interpreted nutrition intake data based on the user's input. Finally, we store this valuable nutrition data securely into our MongoDB Atlas database, ensuring that users can easily track and analyze their dietary habits over time.
