4. GOAL & OBJECTIVES
The MyCalMate App (“My
Calorie Mate”) aims to
create a handy mobile
application for android
users to keep a track of
their diet and helps them
decide on their routine
calories’ intake.
The goal is to educate the
user on nutrient intake
and maintain a diet and
exercise program that will
motivate the user to help
them reach their goal
weight and maintain a
healthy body weight.
To learn and use a new
programming language XML
which is android language
development and integrate it
with a previous studied
programming language Java.
Also to develop an
application that works
smoothly and according to
UI.

5. PROBLEM DEFINITION
Especially the youngsters and
teenagers are not very conscious
about their health so they have a
higher chance of developing diseases
because of their lazy lifestyle and
unbalanced diet.
These days everyone is increasingly
in control over the decisions that
influence their health and wellness,
and the behaviors they learn
throughout childhood and young
adulthood can carry on into their
adult lives. There are a plenty of
lifestyle diseases that are occurring
to people because of a lack of a
proper diet and exercise.
Many people are also ignorant of
what foods to eat and what not to.
Thus, they go for easy choices like
fast foods and soft drinks.
They easily fall for the
advertisements by fast food
companies. They may seem
tempting at the beginning because
of the taste and ads which the
companies spread but in the long
run, they can affect the individual’s
health drastically leading to several
health issues as they grow.
