A simple food diary calculator written as a shell script in PHP.

It supports a basic set of commands to remember foods you've eaten. So that you don't have to enter them again. This calculator is only concerned with the macronutrients: Fat, Carbohydrates, Protein and Calories. You can see a tally of your calories for each day, produce a .csv output, and a few other useful things.

Note: for proper function, it is recommended that your installation of PHP have its curl and sqlite extensions enabled. Debian packages for these are: php5-curl and php5-sqlite respectively.

Installation:

Edit the top three fields to set the path where you want the database file and your home directory. You may need to edit the path to your php executable. On first run it will create a database automatically.
