Bike 10 miles a day, and through the charts away! ;-)
At a minimum, this is a relational database model. I've discovered
recently that TW works pretty well this way, with a bit of scripting.
I have an example that I use for gardening on line, if you're
interested.
I could see having a set of tiddlers that contain basic information
about calories and food:
CaloriesPerApple
food: Apple
calories: 70
(tagged as caloriechart)
CaloriesPerSBFrappucino
food: Caffe Vanilla Frappucino
calories: 430
You could make these entries quickly using a tiddler template, ready
in the right hand menu.
Then you could have a form that would collect your food entries. It
might have a drop down list to show calories, but you might have to
update that list by hand as new food types are added. It might be
possible to have it auto-update by transclusion. One way or the other
it shouldn't be too hard. So you would have something like:
date: year-month-day <-- Do it this way for ease of sorting
time:
food: (selection list)
food name (not onlist): ___________
food calories (not on list)
quantity: ___
{Submit}
When you submit an entry, a new tiddler would be created:
CalorieLog20090803-1118
date: year-month-day
food: Apple
quantity: 3
totalcalories: 210
Next you would have a tiddler or two for reporting. I'm not sure what
you would want in terms of history. A simple listing in table format
with the script plugin should be fairly easy. It might be possible to
generate charts using SVG, but I couldn't comment on that yet since
I've barely started using SVG in TW. It should be possible at least to
generate a CSV style output that could be copied into Excel or OO for
your charts.
Well, too much rambling
