The Icon
Recepie Screen : The user can choose from, smoothies, salads, snacks, and dishes. Below the different meal option there are four icons.

The icon beside the heart is the list icon, this reminds the user what ingredients and produce that are needed to prepare the meals. The following icon is the calorie counter, the user will have a personalized recommended amount of calorie intake. The leaf icon will assist the user to consume an appropriate amount of calories. The final icon on the right hand corner is the information icon, assisting users on how to prepare meals.
Horizontal View : The app also has a horizontal feature, this is recommended when observing recipes to fully read the recipes clearly. The app will also suggest small portions of animals products as the user becomes more adjusted to vegan recipes.
Built in Alarm : The app has a timer that will go off at least 4 times a day to remind users to eat. This is essential for users because having a set time to eat will help the body adjust to new meal plans; and the body will know when it will be fed, ultimately helping the metabolism. In the health screen the app will track the daily amount of calories and water intake. When the first alarm is set off the user must record their first meal calorie count. The app will remind the user how much calorie must be consumed throughout the day.
Calorie & Water Consumption : The same will go for water consumption, it is essential to drink a lot of water throughout the day. The health tab will keep user in check by recording their eating and drinking activities.
Progress : The progress screen has four enlarged icons to select from. The first icon on the top left hand corner is the health checklist icon. This icon will indicate the user protein, calcium, and iron levels. This is important to check regularly as a new vegan because of the large population in western culture having a deficiency when improperly transitioning as a vegan. The icon on the top right hand corner is the calendar icon, this allows the user to trace back to anytime of the year from the day the app has been opened to review water intake, calories, etc. The icon on the lower left hand corner is the consumption chart, this will help regulate the user by implementing when consumptions was overloaded and under consumed. The icon on the lower right hand corner is the weight; while weight is not the main focus of the app it is important to track how much weight is being built on the body and to strain a healthy amount.
