Description

**MacroGo ** is an application meant to quickly return a list of food items to the user from popular franchises, organized by macronutrients. A macronutrient is defined as a type of food (e.g., fat, protein, carbohydrate) required in large amounts in the human diet. Although a “macro” diet can be defined as tracking between 3-7 macronutrients, MacroGo tracks only 3, as this iteration is popular, effective, and simple. The 3 macros included in this version are Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fat.

The notable difference of MacroGo versus other macro diet trackers is its orientation of a realistic adherence to the diet. i.e. the food item listings are catered towards foods that are “on-the-go” but still roughly within the ideal ratio of macronutrients. The franchises include: Subway, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Domino’s, KFC, Arby’s, and Jimmy John’s.

An example: “I’m on my way to an event at midday, and don’t have time to get groceries or prepare food. In my haste, I’ve not had any breakfast, but still want to get some food and try to stick to my macros. I use MacroGo as an anon user, enter my daily protein, carb and fat metrics, and am given 3 food items from Wendy’s and Subway that fit my diet. I conveniently follow my diet and get to my event on time.”
