This project aims to improve the usability of a food tracking program by integrating Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). It seeks to reduce reliance on desktop computers, streamline food entry, and synchronize data across devices. Key goals include evaluating existing programs, updating the interface for better user interaction, and enabling new food entries via their PDAs. Future enhancements will allow wireless queries and sync capabilities with the USDA database, ensuring users have convenient access to the latest nutrition information.
