Ask HN: Review the idea about hungry athlete/entrepreneur
I go to gym workout with free-weight and also ride my bike. As a sportsmen I think about my diet, because without diet you can't gain muscle or fight with body fat. In the same time I can’t cook, of course I can make scrambled eggs or sandwich, but nothing special. Athlete or healthy diet can not consist of scrambled egg and sandwiches, that’s why I always wait when my wife comes and cooks something delicious and healthy for me.
That is the problem that I sit without food hours with hunger and wait. I can find a lot of recipes online, but usually if you want to cook it you need to go to the store and buy ingredients. I fantasize just clean and simple website where you use check boxes with food that you have in your refrigerator and get a suggestion of health meal that you can cook at home from these ingredients.
Pick and get suggestions with few options: - gain muscle; or - lose weight; - cooking time;
The choice will depend on time of day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will different.
Also this startup can make a mobile app and notice in the store what should you buy if you want cook chicken breast or grilled salmon for example. As an interesting option you can mount iPad on your refrigerator and use as synchronizer between family devices with FOODlist (if somebody are going to store - they will know what they should buy)
What do you think? Maybe you know startups/websites like that and I will happy to use it!
