Active project A nutrition app for biohackers Food database foundation Building Phase 1 of 4 Roadmap position Phase 1 of 4 Updated 25 July 2026 Details

Not another calorie counter with a green circle for protein.

I am building a food database that describes what food actually contains: complete macro- and micronutrients, omega-3 to omega-6 ratios, amino-acid profiles, and the details that disappear when an app reduces nutrition to calories, carbs, fat, and protein.

The first problem is the least glamorous and probably the most important: build data I can trust before building conclusions on top of it.

Current focus
#

  • Designing a food and nutrient model that does not fall apart when the data gets complicated
  • Finding and normalizing reliable food-composition sources
  • Keeping units, serving sizes, raw/cooked states, and missing values explicit
  • Tracking where every value came from instead of creating one mysterious “health score”

Roadmap
#

  1. Food database — active
    Full nutrient records, source provenance, normalization, and data-quality checks.

  2. Nutrition engine — next
    Derived values such as omega ratios, amino-acid completeness, nutrient density, and meaningful comparisons.

  3. Tracking interface — planned
    Fast food logging without turning the app into a second job.

  4. Biohacker layer — planned
    Better questions, deeper views, experiments, trends, and useful warnings without pretending software can diagnose a human.

Rules for the project
#

  • Evidence and source data stay visible.
  • Unknown values remain unknown.
  • Calculations must be explainable.
  • The interface should reveal detail without drowning the user in it.
  • No feature gets added merely because every other nutrition app has it.

This page will change as the project changes. That is the point.
