Domain Analysis
In our project, we will create a platform which not only customers can see micro/macro nutrients of what they eat but also food providers can share their products in detail and take action based on customer's comments and ratings. We will provide everyone to keep track of nutritional information of foods they consumed everyday and to filter food choices based on their preferences. There are several applications in this domain which is developed for generally giving healthy food information to their users and bringing food servers and customers together at their platform.

Differences:
MyFitnessPal is a product just for consumers. It does not address to food servers. It is focused on the brands of food products. There is not any profile page for servers. Food providers cannot share their menus.Consumers cannot filter search according to specific criteria and cannot rate foods and restaurants. It is not specialised for specific preferences (Vegan, Vegetarian etc.) and does not give any warning about allergic ingredients. It does not calculate running/swimming distance. Our application will include all of these. On the other hand, it will not have certain features of this application such as the exercise and the shop section. Also, our application will not go into detail about brands since it is about servers.
The application and the website help users to find healthy restaurant dishes and prepared grocery items.

Differences:
HealthyOut is only available in United States. It is basically about finding and ordering healthy meals around users based on their dietary preferences. It provides its users a weekly healthy meal plan. The user can cancel or change a meal, but cannot make unhealthy choices. Compared to average restaurant meals, dishes on HealthyOut are only the ones which have 1/2 less calories and fat. In our application, the user can see every dish the food server serves up and is independent of making choices. We also provide more options for food allergenicity.
