I built myself an iOS app for calorie/sodium/blood pressure tracking, meal prep planning. The main interface is a chatbot backed by an LLM.

I tell it "tonight i'm eating 150g of rice" etc, it computes calories based on the CIQUAL database (or it estimates), logs it. I set a daily goal and it helps me keep on track.

Over time, I've added the sodium and blood pressure tracking after my doctor mentioned I might have hypertension, so now it helps me keep my sodium intake in check.

And finally I've added meal prep planning: I can scan the barcodes of everything I buy and it can prepare meals that comply with my daily goals. To be honest that one is good in theory but right now I don't have the discipline to scan everything.

That's the biggest impact for me I think.
