The main target was to build a shiny app that will allow us to calculate our caloric needs according to specific parameters such as the size, the weight, the Body Mass Index (BMI) or the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
Our focus was on the McDonald’s food in Switzerland. Therefore, the shiny app is able to calculate the amount of calories in our chosen menu and to know how much calories are still needed for the day, after having eaten at McDonald. The shiny app is also able to illustrate the amount of some nutrients composing our menu.
Now we have a better idea of which menu suits us best according to our caloric needs. It will also allow us to get to know McDonald’s food better and eat healthier.
For more information, we suggest you refer to the following video presenting this project in more details.
