About this site

FoodIntake Blog, an independent platform launched in March 2024. The blog delves deep into the world of food. My content spans the entire spectrum of food consumption, the rich tapestry of food culture, the intricate science behind what we eat, and every other facet related to food.

Creator

I am an experienced software engineer with over 10 years of experience. I have worked on habit tracker and health monitoring apps and helped to build a healthcare startup based in Silicon Valley.

I have a passion for food. I enjoy trying new foods and drinks, especially Italian, Mexican, and Korean cuisines. I love eating red meat, steak, burgers, fried food, and pizza. I am also a fan of ramen, bograch, and Ukrainian borscht.

I was underweight for some time and dreamed of gaining weight. I reached my goal and lived in a higher quartile of normal BMI for some time. However, after I entered my 30s, I started noticing that my metabolism was worsening and I was gaining weight too fast. This led to health issues, such as low sex drive and constant fatigue. The reason for this was my constantly higher-than-normal blood pressure and lack of physical activity. The doctor gave me a choice: take pills or lose weight. So, I started to exercise and learn how to lose weight and maintain a healthy diet. I've read scientific papers, and consulted experts. I am now back to a normal BMI and want to share my experience and knowledge in my blog and app, FoodIntake AI calorie pal, to help others reach their health goals
