Hiking and Food

By: Ashleigh Frank

Purpose:

Promote healthy activities and healthy eating habits.

Design:

Consist of a list of trails that will tell you how many miles the trail is, the average time, the sights you might see on the trail and the trail type

Based on miles of the trail or average time, recipes with the food will appear

-Shows food type, calories, time to make and ingredients

​Food type will show what the food primarily contains such as protein, fiber, carbs, fruits or vegetables.

Water relation which uses average time to show how many ounces of water to drink

4 relations:

Trails: PK trail_name

Recipe: PK recipes

Food: PK miles, FKs recipes: references recipe(recipes), avg_time: references trails avg_time, miles: references trails miles

Water: PK oz_water, FK avg_time references trail avg_time

Features:

- Drop down selection for trails

- Slider for weight input

-Action Button, once pressed will show trail information, food information and water information.

-Calories burned are calculated by weight input

Disclaimer Message: 

Explanation of how accurate certain things are. 8 ounces of water is based on 30 minutes of hiking therefore the water information card can be different for each person based on speed that they complete a hike. Average hike time is not accurate for everyone

Additions: 

1. Adding calories burned to trails and calories in the food. At first I did calories burned on a 150 pound person. The walking speed, intensity of trail and weight of a person determine the calories burned. I changed it to account for user input to lose ambiguity of the calories burned.

2. Water table and adding in how much water to drink after or on the hike. "Equally important, if not more" - my dad

What I want to do: 

Add more food so that there are more options or add a section that has instructions to the recipe. Also maybe an informational section on why the foods are chose, which foods of avoid, pros & cons to eating before or after a hike. I want the user to be able to learn about their body and hiking, have growth with healthy habits and enjoy a new hobby.
