Projects
Made a comprehensive fitness website. Users can create their accounts and details would be stored in the database which I also created. Passwords would be hashed. Users could calculate their BMI, TDEE values. They could also track their food and workouts. All this data would be stored in the database. Any value could be modified. Another feature included the program tailoring a training regime for the user as well as their nutritional intake.
