Costs (Initial Investment + Meal Cost) composition tool

*High level overview*

A spreadsheet like app that allows users to input a recipe of ingredients and with a submit / cost analyse process button – returns to the user with a return prompt of the costs gathering breakdowns on:

1. The INITIAL INVESTMENT cost of how much it takes to gather the ingredients (Australian pricing, foods and current market conditions according to majority prevalent pricing / market conditions pricing RRPs). Eg. Initial purchase of 1kg of plain flour, 1kg beef mince, A carton of 12x eggs, etc.
2. EACH MEAL cost – to represent how much it cost, to produce this meal based off the initial investment
3. Approximate calorie breakdown for each meal
   1. Kcals
   2. P / F / C ratio
4. Inspired by chronometer – the user can add “rows” of inputs – each designating an ingredient making up that feature meal. Each row contains therefore
   1. The title of the meal
   2. the arithmetic input: “how much”.
   3. Metric inputs: grams or kilograms
5. This is restricted to only one (1) meal at a time, at the time of this beta public release candidate.
   1. *Flows*

There are two (2) pages. The main dashboard (Calculate) and Results (analytics / saved results).

**As immediate action / starting point**

– The user is immediately greeted with the main input dashboard, where they are presented with a welcome screen, basic instructions on how to use this calculator and the inputs, as outlined above.
– The user can add as many “rows” each indicating per ingredient, of a food item that cumulatively constructs a given meal.
– Once the user has:
– Identify and specify the food item
– Specify the amount in the amount input
– Specify either grams per kilogram
– Repeat for whoever many items needed for each ingredient
– There are also other optional inputs, which are reserved for biometric / metabolic convenience tracking
– An input for BMR / RMR (if known)
– An input for TDEE (if known)
– Then the submit button becomes eligible to be clicked leading to the next screen below

**Result / feedback screen**

– The user is presented with a cost breakdown results that showcase:
– How much is the INITIAL INVESTMENT cost overall for each of their food item or “row”.
– How much is the overall MEAL COST – for each meal.
– The calorie breakdowns (with pie graph representing the P/F/C ration in percentages). The built in AI automatically researches and gathers the most accurate food composition and/or macronutrient breakdowns as according to Australia and/or New Zealand food database currently available / re-share for public domain.
– As for the costs – the built in AI automatically researches and fetches the retail supermarket pricing as accordingly to present market conditions.
– The user can save and export these into a spreadsheet or a PDF export.
– The user can view their past history of inputs and/or meals
– They can reset / restart = to reset the process to start over the process, this automatically “saves” the assessment into their history / results page (within a sidebar).
