- Abstract
The project is about creating an Arduino based system for tracking food intake that effectively monitors food intake through a mix of hardware and IoT technology. At the center of the system is an Arduino UNO, with a load cell for accurate weight measurement of food, push buttons for user inputs, an LCD display for real-time information presentation, and a Bluetooth module for easy wireless communication. The system works based on the loading of food onto the load cell, which weighs, and users are assisted in entering the kind of food eaten using push buttons. From the input provided, the system computes the related calorie consumption using data that has already been preprogrammed. The information gathered is relayed through IoT to a mobile app, where it is saved, processed as values and comprehensive reports. This application offers an easyto-use interface to facilitate individuals especially diabetic patients and sport people to track daily food intake, follow customized plans, and ensure healthy food habits. Through real-time monitoring, calorie calculation, and fact-based information, this project focuses on improving nutritional consciousness and advancing a balanced diet based on personal health requirements.
