User notes from my three users who tested my Calories to Exercise API hack project.
<br>
<br>
Bug #1: The only bug we uncovered was unnatural language when entering specific foods. If you enter an apple it will display the serving size and the food right after it in the results like I intended (i.e. 1 Apple, 1 Hot Pocket) but it sounds off for some foods. 1 slice of pizza turns into 1 Pizza, and 1 serving of broccoli turns into 1 Broccoli. I plan to split up the serving size and the name of food so it won't sound as weird.

<br>
Observation: None of my users entered multiple food entries, one of the main features of the app. They all entered it separately, which then deletes and clears the results page for the next entry. Maybe I should find a way to keep all separate entries together and have a running total at the end?

Feature Request #1: A user has requested for more sports to be added into the results page. Only four results are displayed now (Hatha yoga, walking, running, and biking) but it needs to expand into tennis, swimming, basketball, hiking, etc. I plan to display the four exercises I have now as the main ones (displayed at double the size of the others) and then I will have a smaller list of many sports under it.

Feature Request #2: One of the users wants to change the weight. The calories right now being displayed are assuming that you are 140 pounds. I need to find a formula that can change the weight of the user with it. I am thinking about keeping the search to just food entry and then adding a customizable weight on the results page if I can find a doable solution.

Feature Request #3: A user wants more stats to be displayed than just calories from the food. I don't think I will include more nutritional facts from the food to keep the results streamlined for the purpose of the app as a Calorie to Exercise converter.
