Practical Meal planner
This game aids people to understand food they eat everyday.
Target User Group
The target group of this game is two. one group is people who want to know nutrition facts to sustain themselves healthy and another is people who want not to waste food too much.
Problem Description
Many people know that most of food sold at supermarket show nutrition facts. However, people almost forget the data at a Cafe and restaurant. At a result, people will eat or order excessively, and eventually waste them. By playing this game, people can obtain a skill to measure food's nutrition facts,so people will not waste too much and save more energy.
Problem Context and Forces
We are able to obtain information about any food sold at supermarket, since most of food has a label of nutrition fact. Furthermore, we know there already exist many games to compose meal plan. So, we have enough materials to have information about our meal. But, practically, These games or information only contain static information about a food. They suppose a serving sizes and show information about amount per serving. So, we can not estimate the food's data in variety situation. For instance, we can not estimate one apple's nutrition facts by its appearance. So we need to use more visualized information about meal to obtain practical knowledge. Moreover,An estimated 27 percent of the food available for consumption, according to a government study will be wasted everyday. It seems possible that the issue of edible food waste may be solved partly.
