πŸ”§ Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A personalized nutrition calculator app that adjusts macronutrient ratios specifically for body recomposition goals rather than just weight loss.
  2. A verified database or platform that aggregates consensus-based sports nutrition guidelines to filter out conflicting fitness advice.
  3. A digital coaching service that connects users with certified nutritionists to audit their current meal plans against their specific training intensity.
