Hmm. Like the idea but the name... I get it, but if you say it fast, it sounds like famine.
Or something the Donner Party would do.

#13Hi everyone, I’m the author of Famnom. I built it after trying various nutrition tracking apps but didn’t find anything that fit my needs. What is it? Famnom is an easy-to-use macro and micro-nutrient tracker, and meal planner. Choose from a database of foods or add your own, create recipes and log meals. Set custom nutrition goals or use FDA RDIs for macros - calories, fats, proteins, carbs and micro-nutrients - Mag…
I built kcal[0] after a similar search. The focus is primarily on macros and ultimately I kind of lost steam on developing further (though we still use it to great success). A part of why lost interest is that I didn’t like PHP + Laravel as much as Python + Django.
Anyway I see you have the Famnom code on GH but apparently not with an OSS license. Are you planning to seek contributions with a friendly license in the future? If so I’d be interested.

#14It would be nice to have more info about what it does before signing up.
Skipped an info page for famnom, in favor of the user journey gifs + Why? sections on this post. Were they helpful?
I agree an info or onboarding section on famnom itself would be nice to have, thanks for the feedback.

#15It's the weekend so you'll have to forgive me for asking this: what's the purpose of tracking and planning your nutrition? Illness, sports, obesity? Why would a person decide they want to track (not analyze, just track) every little piece of food or liquid they consume.
Help me expand my perspective.

#16How are you pulling nutrients info and what’s guarantee for accuracy of those nutrients numbers mentioned?
Re: Show HN: Famnom – Nutrition tracker and meal planner for families
#17Can I ask where you got the nutritional data from, how can I trust it?
Re: Show HN: Famnom – Nutrition tracker and meal planner for families
#18As others are asking, where did you get all the nutrional data from? How can we know its accurate. To be honest, the pasta and sauce I eat here is different nutritional content than in other countries. Its all just an approximation at best. At worst, wildly inaccurate

Most Americans have some sort of deficiencies or surplus in their diet such as too much sodium and too little potassium. Tracking intake can help smooth out deficiencies and surpluses for better health, longevity, and childhood development

#20Too bad FDA recommendations are complete made up fantasy.
