Mood Food Project

Overview

The Mood Food Project is a Windows Forms application developed in C# that helps users track their food intake and assess its impact on their mood. The application allows users to log detailed information about their meals, including food type, portion size, and timing, while also rating their mood before and after eating. Leveraging this data, the application provides personalized food recommendations aimed at improving mood based on observed patterns and trends.

Key features include a secure user authentication system, mood tracking capabilities to record mood fluctuations, and a recommendation engine that suggests foods likely to enhance the user’s mood. Through detailed analysis of the relationship between dietary choices and mood changes, the application empowers users to make informed decisions that contribute to their overall well-being.
