Cedric is not just an application; it's your personalized gateway to a healthier lifestyle. This document unveils the simplicity and effectiveness of Cedric, a health application that specializes in providing customized diet plans based on your weight and height. We are not taking blood pressure, oxygen level, x-ray, and glucose level.
In our application, we utilize the generally perceived Harris-Benedict equation, a norm and globally used technique for computing caloric requirements. To accurately calculate how many calories a person needs, this equation takes into account important factors like height, age, gender, and weight. Besides, the determined calories are additionally refined based on the specific objectives chosen by the client, ensuring a personalized and goal-oriented approach to nutrition. The Harris-Benedict equation is mentioned below:
To supplement this calorie computation, we implement the AMD method for macronutrient distribution. The AMD method, known for its precision and efficacy, enables us to customize the distribution of macronutrients — proteins, fats, and carbohydrates — according to individual needs. This meticulous approach ensures that users receive a balanced and personalized diet plan that aligns seamlessly with their health and fitness goals. By combining the Harris-Benedict equation and the AMD method, our application strives to provide users with a comprehensive and individualized nutritional experience tailored to their unique goals and requirements.
The caloric calculations in our application are performed using a sophisticated tool that relies on the renowned Harris-Benedict and Mifflin equations for calorie estimation. These equations consider factors like age, gender, weight, height, and activity level to provide a comprehensive and accurate estimate of daily caloric needs.
Accuracy: Our caloric tool is designed with precision, using these established equations to deliver accurate estimates tailored to individual user profiles. Users can trust that the calculated caloric values align closely with their unique metabolic needs.
We are using a food list from the USDA Food List. This food list specifies the calories of each ingredient according to the serving size. The USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR) provides detailed information about the nutritional composition of various foods, including calories, serving sizes, and other nutrients.
Reference Values: The nutrient values are typically presented as a percentage of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) or Adequate Intakes (AIs) for certain nutrients. This provides context for understanding the nutritional significance of the food.

Our application takes care of individual preferences by offering four distinct food preferences for users to choose from, allowing them to align their diet plans with their culinary tendencies. Moreover, we recognize the critical importance of addressing allergies in personalized nutrition. Users have the option to specify their allergies, and our system is equipped to generate diet plans that exclude allergens appropriately. It is essential, however, that users exercise due diligence in accurately selecting their allergies during the customization process. The responsibility lies with the user to carefully and precisely indicate any allergies they may have. In the case of an allergy, such as a nut allergy, it is crucial for users to make the appropriate selection to ensure that their diet plan is free from the allergen. Please note that the accuracy of allergy information rests entirely with the user, and the application cannot be held responsible for any discrepancies or omissions in the provided data.
The step count feature in our application is seamlessly integrated with sensor technology designed to accurately track and calculate your daily physical activity. This sensor, typically embedded in your device, captures movement patterns and translates them into step counts. As you go about your day, the sensor precisely measures each step you take, providing real-time data on your physical activity levels.
The step count functionality enhances the overall user experience by offering a convenient and automated way to monitor your daily movements. Whether you're walking, jogging, or engaging in any form of physical activity, the sensor ensures that the step count reflects your efforts accurately.
By leveraging sensor technology, our application aims to empower users with a reliable and effortless method of tracking their daily steps, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of their physical activity and overall fitness journey.
