This project is a diet tracker built using MERN stack for my Software Development Laboratory course. It gives calorie specific diet recommendation which is based on USDA guidelines for 2020-2025 and also provides weekly diet analysis.

I'm using the free tier of Render which makes the backend service slow when it has not been used for a long time)
