AI Calorie Tracker: Dynamic Apple Health Integration for Active Users
Hey everyone, I'm currently in the final stretch of developing my Al calorie tracker (the one that breaks down photos into individual ingredients). One thing I'm obsessed with getting right before the beta launch in 2 weeks is the Apple Health integration. Most apps just show you a static number. I want mine to be dynamic. If you go for a 500kcal run, the app should know and adjust your macro targets for the next meal. My question to the fitness-tech crowd: Do you prefer apps that strictly stick to your base metabolic rate (BMR), or do you want the 'earned' calories from your Apple Watch to be automatically added to your budget? I've seen strong opinions on both sides. I'm also fine-tuning the macro-overflow logic (e.g., saving surplus calories for the weekend). Would love to hear some thoughts from people who actually track daily.
