Iteration 1
Conclusions
- Home page is a bit overwhelming.
- It conveys too much information. We tried to optimize for experienced users, but new users had a lot of trouble learning it.
- We may have given the users too much flexibility.
- When given a choice, they're sometimes confused about how to make their decision.
- (Are “Spaghetti and Meatballs” one or two items? How do I enter the cost if I split them? How do I enter food groups if I don't? Etc.)
- Also, the login screen is another example of this; users didn't know what all the pages were and weren't sure if they should jump to a specific page or not.
- The labels on the meal log page were not very clear.
- The analytics page needs work.
- Three graphs side-by-side are very confusing to a user.
- It was unclear what the possible options were for the graphs.
- It was unclear what the graphs were showing. They needed more visible titles.

Iteration 2
Conclusions
- We need to figure out how to re-collapse the Groceries list and the meal entry thing from the home page
- Also need to figure out how to unselect a template after one has been selected
- Possible solution: make “None” an option and have it be the default.
- This home page was much more intuitive for users than the previous one, however.
- Also need to figure out how to unselect a template after one has been selected
- When entering a meal, the form needs to display the "serving size" for items that are selected from the Groceries list--otherwise this metric is entered, but unused.
- We still need to figure out how to make the labels for the meal log more obvious. This might be easier with the actual visible representation because it is mimicking Google Calendar.
- We need to decide when (time-wise) to display different meals on the single-day view of the Google Calendar. Do we tell users to enter the time of their meals? This is probably not important to them, and therefore too much to ask. We may have to change the single-day view to a different sort of layout.
- We need to make the optional fields more obviously optional
- A “Today” button would be very helpful for all of the date fields
- Look for an online database with nutrition info; maybe we can easily auto-complete nutrition info. Otherwise, probably not worth it
