MacroMint — Smart Nutrition & Digital Pantry

The Challenge

Standard calorie counters require high-friction manual database searches and gram calculations. They also fail to adjust targets based on Lean Body Mass (LBM) or help users reduce kitchen food waste.

Solutions

• Engineered a Lean Body Mass (LBM) engine using Deurenberg and US Navy standards to target active muscle mass instead of total weight.
• Integrated Voice & Text Natural Language Processing (NLP) to log meals instantly from plain-text descriptions.
• Designed a digital pantry with barcode scanning and automated warnings for expiring ingredients.
• Developed an AI recipe recommendation engine to suggest healthy meals matching daily macro targets using current pantry stock.

Outcomes

• High-accuracy NLP food parsing connected directly to the FatSecret database.
• Seamless, low-friction onboarding providing precise scientific body composition estimates.
• Advanced beta testing setup for iOS and Android zero-waste pantry automation.
