Pound For Pound, Text for Text: FitMeal Tracks Your Calories via Twilio SMS

FitMeal` is a weight loss tracking tool that uses SMS to record users' meals and provides nutritional information via Twilio SMS, allowing users to track their calories without having to manually log their food in a blog or app. The project was initially built by its creator, Georges Duverger, as a way to help himself lose weight, but it gained popularity after being featured on Vice's Snapchat feed, leading to a surge in registrations and forcing Georges to build a waitlist for his service. FitMeal uses Python, Django, and Heroku, and has been shown to be effective in helping users achieve their weight loss goals while also providing a sense of personal and professional success for its creator.
