Diet Calculator

This was a very simple project I did to keep up on my C++. At SIUE, C++ is the language taught in the beginner computer science classes. By the time I made this project it was about seven months since I last touched C++ in school. I kinda realized that If I'm putting C++ on my resume I should make sure I can still actually code with it. Though when thinking what to code, I ran into a roadblock that I often have since this project. Making projects solely for the purpose of putting it on my resume doesn't interest me. I want to create something that ties into my life or I can see have a purpose outside just being a coding project. That's how I settled on creating the Diet Calculator since I constantly think about my diet since I go to the gym.

The only issue I had with getting back into C++ was really about the syntax of certain statements. It was similar to learning a new language from scratch. You know you can something like a for loop or a switch statement, but you don't know how to implement it with the language. I'm probably biased towards C++ because it was my first language, but I really enjoy coding with it. Though the conveniences of more modern languages like C# and Python can't be understated.
