#2zomg this is awesome! :D
I was actually about to start building something really similar to this. basically the recipe part your blog mentions- you'd throw in everything you have in your kitchen and it'd spit out stuff you can make with it.
but yeah I've been in the eating healthier / start cooking more mood recently, but also starting to be more active, so I wanted to make sure I was getting everything I needed. Calculating all of the nutrients/vitamins/minerals by hand sucks!
tldr- this app is awesome. good luck with it :)

#3It recommended that I have 1 cup of avocado and 1 cup of cottage cheese for lunch. No thanks.

To be clear, I didn't make it – just found it!

#5Very nice!
Any plans for a mobile version? (iPhone / Android) I can imagine this has even more value when you have it around all the time on your mobile, combined with push notifications?
Good luck with the app!

#6What a nice surprise! This is my brother's site. :-)
If you don't fancy eating lots of eggs, etc, you can go to the sandbox mode and play around with combinations. He's planning on adding recipes soon.

#7It told me I should eat a cup of avocado and 2 cups of skim milk for dinner. I'm confused and rather appalled by the thought of having that for any meal.
Additionally, I've heard stories of it telling people to eat 8 eggs for breakfast, so I'm a bit wary.
(No, the 8 eggs for breakfast was not a diet for Gaston, either)

#8It told me that I need to be on the skim milk diet.... Too bad it can't be used in conjunction with the cookie diet...
Re: Swole.me - The automatic diet planner
#9Needs a little refinement. It's suggesting I eat 6 eggs a day and while I am no expert, that sounds excessive.

The whole cholesterol in eggs thing is actually not really that big a deal: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21776466 (basically says that dietary cholesterol intake levels are unlinked from blood cholesterol in 75% of the population, and that it has been shown to inhibit atherogenesis/artery plaque formation)
Besides that, since they're made to carry something from a bundle of cells to full organism, they're chock full of a full set of micro and macronutrients.
This started as a site for body builders, though, and it's only now broadening to normal foods.
