📍 The Process

This project was built as Day 38 of the 100 Days of Python Code course and applies multiple concepts learned across previous days.

The user provides a natural language description of their workout. This input is sent to the Nutritionix API, which interprets the exercise, calculates duration and calories burned, and returns structured data.

The processed workout data is then formatted with the current date and time using the datetime module and sent to a Google Sheet using the Sheety API. Authorization headers are used to securely write data to the spreadsheet.

This project reinforced working with POST requests, API authentication, environment variables, and combining multiple external services into a single workflow. The script can be further customized by including user details such as age, gender, or weight for more accurate calorie calculations.
