Abstract

This project is regarding a growing trend – Website Development. The process of building and managing websites is known as website development. It includes each detail from developing complicated web applications to designing a straightforward webpage. By choosing typical Malaysian foods, users of the Web-Based Malaysian Food Calorie Tracker can quickly record and keep track of their daily caloric consumption. In addition to helping users manage macros and create individual calorie goals based on their health objectives, the portal includes comprehensive nutrition information. Its user-friendly design promotes Malaysia's various culinary traditions while encouraging healthy eating practices. This project focuses on the development of a web-based calorie tracker for Malaysian in Malaysia. Personal health and nutrition awareness are becoming more and more important, specifically customized for local dietary habits in Malaysia. As wellness awareness increases globally, many Malaysians find it difficult to track their daily calorie intake because there aren't many localized and culturally relevant tools available. Most calorie tracking applications that are currently available are designed for Western diets and frequently ignore Malaysian cuisine, which leaves local users with inaccurate or incomplete data. This project addresses localization and user-friendliness as two major issues. Since many health monitoring applications don't support Malaysian foods and are hard to use for people who aren't familiar with nutrition tracking, there has been an obvious need for a comprehensive and culturally relevant solution. After conducting the research and analysis, many current platforms, including MyFitnessPal, health.family.my, and Channel News Asia’s Calorie Calculator, in order to determine their advantages and disadvantages. A more specialized solution—a web-based Malaysian Food Calorie Tracker— is suggested considering this research. Users of the app can log their daily intake, look for different cuisine in food databases, read comprehensive nutritional data, and get tailored suggestions. The system provides a clear, user-friendly interface by utilizing dynamic web technologies and relational databases. By making nutritional tracking simple, relatable, and accessible to all Malaysians, the finished product seeks to promote healthy living.
