Lists and List Operations
Discover how to use Python lists to manage multiple meal entries by storing names and calories. Learn to iterate through lists to calculate totals and build a healthy meal tracker application. Practice coding with AI support to create snack tracking functionality that captures user input and computes nutritional summaries.
The project
You’ve decided to start eating healthier and want to track the meals you eat each day. Instead of typing one meal at a time and losing track, you want a system that can:
Store the meal names (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks).
Store the calories for each meal.
Calculate your daily total.
Add everything up for the week.
Typing just:
Breakfast: 400Lunch: 600
It is helpful, but it doesn’t give you the full picture. What you need is a list, a way to organize multiple values together so you can calculate and analyze them easily.
Your project: Build a healthy meals tracker that organizes meals by calories, shows your daily totals, and then adds them up for the week. ...
