DietCli is a blazingly fast, cross-platform, command line nutrition tracker written in C++.

Note: Previously it was known as "NutritionCLI". However, that version used INI, was slow and buggy and hence is no longer supported. Though it's source code is available for historical purposes.

Usage

Download the release or build it yourself.

Any one of the three arguments, macro, min or vit, must be provided. An optional argument for filepath of custom consumed.json can be provided. If the custom file is not found then it tries to find consumed.json in same directory. rdi.json must be in same directory as program.

To generate a pie chart of calorie breakdown by macro nutrient, simply run python visualize.py.

Examples

$ ./dietcli macro my-custom-config.json
Protein RDI amount : 50 Consumed amount : 20     Remaining : 30
Carbs   RDI amount : 225        Consumed amount : 100     Remaining : 125
Fats    RDI amount : 70 Consumed amount : 10     Remaining : 60
Fiber   RDI amount : 30 Consumed amount : 20     Remaining : 10

$ ./dietcli vit | awk '{print $1, $12}'

# NutrientName, RemainingAmount
