Build Apps with Google AI Studio: Your Calories Companion

This post is my submission for DEV Education Track: Build Apps with Google AI Studio.

What I Built

I built an intelligent calorie tracking application that leverages the Gemini API to provide users with personalized, healthy meal suggestions. The app helps users monitor their daily food intake and receive AI-powered recommendations to better achieve their dietary goals.

My key prompts used:
“Please create an intelligent calorie tracking application that provides personalized meal suggestions using the Gemini API. Users can manually log their daily food intake and receive AI-powered recommendations for balanced meals.”

My Experience

What surprised me most was the speed at which I could build a genuinely useful AI feature. Simple and powerful it is to integrate the Gemini API to create dynamic, context-aware user experiences.

With just a single API call, the application can provide high-quality, relevant nutritional advice that adapts to the user’s real-time input, turning a basic calorie counter into a personalized dietary companion.
