eating-cli

eating is a very simple node.js command line application for recording what you eat (a meal diary/journal). Inspired by doing it takes near to natural language input and turns that into structured meals. There's also a web version at eatkeep.io

would yield

• Date: (UTC the date/time 2 hours ago)
• Foods: 7 Ham & Pineapple Pizzas
• Calories: 7000
• Important: true (exclamation mark)

n.b. I do not encourage you to eat 7 pizzas
