Calgo’s GUI is designed to be sleek and compact, allowing you to use and view all of Calgo’s features on a single window. However, that might be a little overwhelming at the start. Hence, this section aims to give a rundown on the GUI’s various parts and ease you into using the App, starting from the top of the GUI shown in the above diagram.
These sections are labelled from 1 to 8, in the following order:
-
Menu Bar
-
Command Box
-
Result Display
-
Daily Goal Display
-
Consumption Record
-
Graph Display
-
Food Record
-
Status Bar
There is a ninth part, the Help Window
, that is a separate pop up - only appearing when required for your convenience.
The bar has two buttons, File
and Help
. The buttons allow
you to exit the App by clicking the exit option under File
, and to access the command guide by clicking the
help option under Help
. These buttons are there for your convenience, as exiting the app can also be done through the
exit
command. Likewise, accessing the command guides can be done using the help
command.
Calgo listens to your requests and processes them. The Command Box
is where you type commands into.
Should you mistype a command, Calgo will prompt you to use the right format. You can easily edit the wrong command
inside the Command Box
without needing to retype it entirely.
This is where Calgo displays textual updates as a result of processing your inputted commands. The Result Display
will
always show a response so you will know whether your commands have been correctly processed.
This section is labelled "Your Goal Information" on the GUI, and consists of two parts. The left box
displays your target daily calorie goal (after you’ve set it using the goal
command). The right box shows
the amount of calories you still need to consume to meet your daily goal, or the amount you’ve exceeded by.
The Daily Goal Consumption
updates automatically.
The Consumption Record
displays the list of Food
entries that you have consumed on that day. Although it only shows
one day’s consumption, the stomach
command lets you view other days' records.
It has three subsections:
-
The name of the
Food
entry. -
The number of portions of the
Food
you consumed that day. -
The average rating as set by you, color-coded from red to green for low to high rating.
This section contains a graph that shows a summary of your past seven day’s total calorie consumption. It displays data
starting from the date of the current Consumption Record
.
Example: Consumption Record
currently shows 2020-04-12. Graph Display
will thus show the daily calories consumed from
2020-04-06 to 2020-04-12.
This is a list of all Food
entries you currently have in Calgo. Each Food
entry will have a name, its nutritional
information, and optional tags as set by you. The Food Record
alternates colors between entries so that you
can easily tell one entry apart from its neighbours.
In this section, specific information about each command will be explained. This includes the purpose of each command, how it is formatted and visual examples of its usage.
Before we begin, do take note of the following information which applies to all Calgo commands:
Command Format Information
-
Words in
UPPER_CASE
are parameters that you should provide.-
Example: In
n/NAME
,NAME
is a parameter.n/kiwi
would mean that the name of theFood
is 'kiwi'.
-
-
Parameters in square brackets (i.e. []) are optional.
-
Example: In
[t/TAG]
,TAG
is an optional parameter which can be used ast/fruit
to tag theFood
as a 'fruit'.
-
-
Parameters can be given in any order, as long as the correct prefix appears before the parameter.
-
Example: If a command specifies
n/NAME p/PROTEIN
, then enteringp/PROTEIN n/NAME
also gives the same functionality.
-
-
Parameters with ellipses (
…
) after them can be used zero or more times.-
Example: For
[t/TAG]…
the following are valid:-
Leaving the parameter empty.
-
Typing
t/favourite
with one tag. -
Typing
t/favourite t/green
with two tags. -
Typing with more than 2 tags.
-
-
💡
|
As you key in the name of the Food for any of the following commands: update , delete , or nom , the Result Display
will show suggestions for Food entries based on what you have typed.
Never make spelling mistakes again!
|
The following subsections will elaborate on the specific details of Calgo commands.
(by Vineeth)
If you want to clear all the Food
entries currently stored in your Food Record
, this command will be useful to you.
ℹ️
|
The data in your Consumption Record and Graph Display will not be affected from executing the clear command.
|
ℹ️
|
To cater to fast typists who are more likely to make typing mistakes, Calgo will still execute this command even if there are
other parameters or words that are typed after clear . |
Format: clear
Example:
Suppose that you want to drastically improve your diet. You decide to take a look at all of your Food
entries
currently in the Food Record
but realise none of them fit into your new diet.
To avoid the hassle of deleting each Food
entry one by one, you decide to clear
them. This is what you need to do:
First, type clear
and then press enter, as shown in the above diagram.
Upon entering the command, all your Food
entries in the Food Record
will be deleted. This will result in an empty Food Record
, as shown above.
As mentioned previously, your data in the Consumption Record
and Graph Display
is left unchanged.
(by Zhang Xian)
If you no longer require Calgo to store a particular Food
and its nutritional values for you, you can use the delete
command
to remove the specified Food
from your Food Record
.
ℹ️
|
The Food that you wish to delete must already exist in the current Food Record .
|
💡
|
For your convenience, the NAME field of your input for the delete command is case insensitive. Therefore, n/Pizza
and n/pizza are treated by Calgo as the same Food .
|
Format: delete n/NAME
Example:
Say you want to remove a Food
, Pizza
, that already exists in your Food Record
. This is how you can do it:
You should first enter delete n/pizza
as input, and press enter. Note that delete n/Pizza
also has the same effect.
Once the command has been entered, the Result Display
shows the results of your command and the Food Record
no longer shows
a Food
entry for Pizza
.
If you want to exit the App, you can use the exit
command.
ℹ️
|
All your data is automatically saved upon exiting Calgo. |
Format: exit
(by Eugene)
Obtaining a portable copy of the current Food Record
may be useful for various purposes. For instance, you can
conveniently share your Food
entries with friends, print the Food Record
for future reference, or even adapt it to
suit your personal cooking needs in the kitchen. Whatever the purpose, we have you covered with the export
command.
The export
command provides you with a neatly formatted, editable file that reflects all entries in the current Food Record
.
This file (named FoodRecord.txt) will be created in the data/exports
folder.
Here are some key pointers for using the command:
-
FoodRecord.txt shows the
Food Record
in alphabetical order ofFood
names, and includes the corresponding details of eachFood
neatly in a table. -
If a previous FoodRecord.txt file exists, do close any instances of the file (if previously opened) before running the
export
command. The file will be replaced by an updated version representing your latestFood Record
. -
Tags are placed outside of the dashed lines.
💡
|
This lets you manually track your diet using a reference sheet of your past Food entries. You can freely edit this
reference sheet to include information outside of Calgo. |
ℹ️
|
Certain Food names may be too long to fit into the given space. Such names will be shown on multiple lines.
However, rest assured that all your information is still captured and neatly organised.
Individual entries will also appear on separate lines.
|
Format: export
(any parameters entered are ignored)
Example:
Let’s suppose you wish to export the current Food Record
so that you can print a copy for reference while cooking. Here’s how you can do it:
You should type in the command and press enter, as seen above.
Doing so, Calgo will show you a result message indicating the copy has been successfully generated.
You can find this copy (named FoodRecord.txt) in the data/exports
folder.
(by Eugene)
When you have many entries in the Food Record
, it may be rather difficult to search for a particular one.
This is where the find
command comes in nicely.
The find
command shows all Food
entries that have a nutritional value matching what you specify. This can be the
number of calories, or the number of grams of protein, carbohydrate or fat.
Alternatively, you can choose to search for a keyword which appears in any part of the name or in one of the tags
associated with a particular Food
entry.
Here are some key pointers:
-
The
find
command takes in one, and only one parameter. -
For finding via nutritional value, only
Food
entries with the same value will be shown. -
You don’t have to capitalise keywords. The search is always case insensitive when searching for keyword(s) via name or tag.
-
You don’t actually have to type out the entire keyword either. For your convenience, incomplete keywords will be matched to
Food
entries containing them in any part of the specified parameter of name or tag. -
You can search for multiple name keywords by using a single
n/
Prefix
, separating them with space(s).
ℹ️
|
If you’re a fast typist, fear not! We understand the possibility that typing errors can be made quite often, so any
additional input for the find command without a preceding Prefix (e.g. n/ , p/ ) will be ignored.
|
💡
|
The Food Record displays the relevant entries of each find command. We can reset the Food Record to show all
entries once again using the list command.
|
Format: find [n/NAME] [cal/CALORIES] [p/PROTEINS] [c/CARBOHYDRATES] [f/FATS] [t/TAG]
(Reminder: choose only 1 parameter)
Examples:
Example 1: Say you want to use Calgo to search for a Food
entry with 150 calories because you are
looking for a light snack. Here is how you can do it:
You should type find cal/150
, then press enter.
Once the command has been entered, the Result Display
shows the results of your command and the Food Record
displays the relevant entries with 150 calories.
Example 2: Say you wish to find entries which contain the keyword Cheese
in their name, but your hand slipped and
the keyboard only typed Chees
. This is what happens:
You are likely to enter find n/Chees
as the command input.
Once the command has been entered, the Result Display
shows the results of your command and the Food Record
shows
the relevant entries which contain Chees
in their name. This is not too bad, as you still obtain entries that will
be largely relevant to Cheese
. This shows that the find
command can search for Food
entries
with incomplete keywords.
Example 3: Say you are lazy but wish to find entries containing the keyword sweet
in their tag. Here is how you can do it:
You can type find t/swe
as input, and then press enter.
Upon entering the command, the Food Record
will display all entries which have the swe
keyword present in any one of
their tags. As you can search using incomplete keywords, the intended search for the sweet
tag will also have its result shown.
Please note that the search is case-insensitive, an example being the resulting Sweet
tag of Bandung
. Moreover,
as with Example 2, we allow for incomplete words to be used as search keywords.
(by Vineeth)
A healthy lifestyle is not achieved overnight. Calgo understands the importance of keeping the end in mind with regards to achieving your healthy lifestyle.
Thus, to motivate you to put in consistent effort, you can set daily calorie goals for yourself using the goal
command.
Here are some key pointers:
-
The goal that you set will be used to generate insights in your consumption report. For more information related to that, you check out the
report
command here. -
After setting a daily calorie goal, you can still change it whenever you want to. All Calgo insights will subsequently update so that they are based on your most current goal.
ℹ️
|
Acceptable values are positive integers, ranging from 1 to 99999. |
Format: goal GOAL
Example:
Let’s suppose you are a young adult who is trying to lose weight because your favourite jeans have become too tight. You search online for the ideal number of calorie you should consume daily to lose weight. A credible online source states it should be 1900 calories. Now, you want to reflect that daily calorie goal in Calgo. You can do that by following this simple step:
Type in goal 1900
and press enter, as shown above.
As you can see, the Daily Goal Display
has updated to reflect your daily calorie goal. You can now track your meals
and get immediate updates on the remaining amount of calories you have to consume for that day to achieve your goal.
(by Janice)
Whether you are an experienced Calgo user or a newcomer to the App, it can be hard to remember what a command’s usage and format
is. Thus, the help
command aims to remind you of them.
Here are some key pointers:
-
The
help
command displays all available commands, in alphabetical order. -
If you want to find out more about a specific command,
help
can used with a keyword.-
This keyword is the name of the command you want to know more about.
-
Format: help [COMMAND_WORD]
Example:
Let’s say you’ve forgotten how to add Food
entries to your Consumption Record
. You know there is a command called nom
,
but don’t recall its format. You can use the help
command to obtain the format like so:
Type help
, then press enter.
This creates a popup (the Help Window
) with command guides. However that displays all the commands, which might make searching for only
nom
a bit daunting. Instead, you can type help nom
, then press enter.
As you can see, the Help Window
popup now only shows the command guide for nom
.
(by Eugene)
With a large number of entries in the Food Record
, you may remember that we can use the find
command to display only the relevant Food
entries. Once we are done with the search, we will eventually want to
view all entries again. This is where the list
command comes in handy.
The list
command resets the display accordingly to show all entries in the Food Record
. These entries will be neatly sorted,
just as the Food Record
previously appeared:
-
All entries will appear in lexicographical order.
-
Food
entries will once again be listed with all their corresponding details.
💡
|
You can think of this as the reverse of a find command.
After a find command, you are advised to complete your intended actions first, before using the list command to
reset the display. This allows for a smoother workflow as you will now avoid the need to perform the same find command again.
|
Format: list
(any parameters entered are ignored)
Example:
Let’s say you want to view all entries again after performing a find n/Chicken
command. You can do the following:
Type list
as input, then press enter.
The Result Display
will then indicate the result of your command, and the Food Record
will now show all Food
entries once again.
(by Ruicong)
Your Consumption Record
stores everything that you have consumed.
With the nom
command, you can add Food
that you have consumed on a certain day to your
Consumption Record
.
The nom
command helps you to keep track of your consumption on certain date.
Below is some information to keep in mind:
-
The
Food
you consume should exist inFood Record
. -
Date follows yyyy-mm-dd format.
-
The
nom
command has some default behavior when you choose to not provide values for certainPrefixes
. Do note that this is not the same as excluding optional parameters. -
The following are the default behaviors:
-
If you do not provide the date, or if its
Prefix
does not have a value, Calgo will by default take it that you consumed theFood
today. -
If you do not provide the portion, or if its
Prefix
does not have a value, Calgo will by default take it that you consumed 1 portion ofFood
. -
If you do not provide the rating, the consumption of
Food
will not have a rating associated with it. However, if you do not give thePrefix
a value, you will get an error.
-
-
The rating for a
Food
displayed is based on the average rating given to theFood
on that day.
💡
|
As you enter nom n/.. , Calgo will show you Food suggestions that match what you are searching for in the Result Display .
Names in Calgo are case insensitive, so you can type quickly without worrying about the specific name of the Food .
|
💡
|
If you have planned to eat something at a future date, you can use nom to record a consumption
with a date that comes after today.
|
Format: nom n/NAME [d/DATE] [portion/PORTION][r/RATING]
Example:
Suppose you want to have a Cheeseburger today and have already stored its nutritional content
in Food Record
. Since you just want to dig in as soon as possible, yet still want to jot your meal down,
you decide to enter the simplest command possible. Here’s how you do it:
First, enter nom n/Cheeseburger
as input and press enter.
Once you enter the command, the Result Display
will inform you that the food has been consumed.
The Consumption Record
panel and Graph Display
are updated to reflect your latest consumption.
(by Vineeth)
Why stop at keeping track of your meals? Go a step further and use your past consumption patterns
to learn how to improve your eating habits. Moreover, won’t it be convenient if you can automatically generate tips on how to improve?
This is exactly what the report
command can help you with!
Given a date, the report
command analyses your consumption pattern in that day to generate relevant statistics and
helpful insights for improving your diet. You no longer have to tediously calculate the total amount of calories you consumed in a day. Calgo does it for you, instantly!
ℹ️
|
The document generated by the report command is stored in the data/reports folder. This document is named after the given date in this format: yyyy-mm-dd_report.txt. For instance, if you generate a report on 27th of April 2020, the generated document is 2020-04-27_report.txt.
|
💡
|
To generate more insightful suggestions, do set a daily calorie goal before generating the report. To learn how to do that,
check out the goal command here.
|
Refer to the list below for the various types of insights that you can easily obtain from the report
command.
-
All
Food
consumed on the given date. For eachFood
entry, the following information will be included:-
The name of the
Food
. -
Quantity consumed. For instance, 1.5 portions.
-
Number of calories consumed.
-
-
The total number of calories consumed in that day.
-
The total number of grams of protein, carbohydrate and fat consumed on that day.
-
Insights on whether you have achieved your goal.
-
Insights on what your favourite
Food
is and whether it should continue to be in your diet.
Format: report d/DATE
ℹ️
|
When entering the report command, do note there is a default behaviour for the DATE prefix. If you do not provide the date, or if its Prefix does not have a value,
Calgo will by default take it that you intend to generate a report based on today’s date.
|
Example:
Let’s suppose you had a buffet on 27th of April 2020 and you managed to nom
lots of exciting Food
into your
Consumption Record
. It is now the end of the day and you want to look back and find out how you fared. This is what you can do:
First, type report d/2020-04-27
and press enter, as shown above.
Second, go to the data/reports
folder and open 2020-04-27_report.txt. You will
see a report that looks similar to the one in the above screenshot.
The following steps breakdown what information is included in each section of the report.
The first section is the Report Header
, which states the date of your consumption pattern that is being analysed in the report. In this case,
your food consumption pattern on the 27th of April 2020 is analysed in the displayed report screenshot.
The second section is Your Goal Information
. This section reminds you of the daily calorie goal that you have set for yourself.
The third section is Food-wise Statistics
. As the name suggests, this section provides you with relevant statistics for every Food
entry in your Consumption Record
of the given day.
In this case, you can see a variety of Food
entries that you have tracked from your buffet experience. For each Food
entry, the report displays the name of the Food
, the total number of portions you consumed and the total amount of calories from that Food
.
You can use this information to realise what Food
you may be over-consuming.
The fourth section is Aggregate Statistics
, which shows you the total amount of calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat that you have consumed on the given day.
This section could be particularly helpful if you are interested in tracking your total nutritional intake each day.
The fifth section is called Insights for You
. In this section, Calgo uses your daily calorie goal to explain how close you were to achieving it.
For you to continually improve your eating habits, Calgo, like any other friend, pushes you with motivating messages and congratulates you if you achieved the goal.
In this case, as you exceeded the daily calorie goal by 959 calories, Calgo provides you with some reassurance that you can do better the next day to ensure that you do not give up.
The penultimate section is Suggestions for You
. In this section, Calgo analyses your Consumption Record
of the past week from the given date to find out what you can do to improve your eating habits.
Calgo does this by using a mix of your ratings and quantity consumed of each Food
to intelligently infer what your favourite Food
is. It then analyses if you can continue to keep your favourite Food
in the past week in your diet based on your daily calorie goal.
Over time, through Calgo’s smart suggestions, you will eventually have a diet consisting of your favourite Food
entries that are compatible with your goal. How awesome is that!
The final section is the Report Footer
, which informs you that the report has concluded. This is the part where you realise that Calgo provides you with so many key insights in such a neatly organised and compact document.
(by Ruicong)
Do you find it a hassle to constantly recall what you ate? Can’t seem to remember what you had for lunch last week?
You can now remember everything, because Calgo remembers for you. The stomach
command displays all of the Food
you ate on a
particular day, showing it in the Consumption Record
.
For a more detailed statistical report with nutritional values of Food
consumed, you can refer to
the section on the report
command here.
Here are some key pointers:
-
Calgo uses today’s date by default if no value is given for its
Prefix
. -
Date follows yyyy-mm-dd format.
Format: stomach [d/DATE]
Example: If you want to see what you have consumed on 12 April 2020, here’s how you can do it:
Type the command stomach d/2020-04-12
as input and press enter.
The Consumption Record
will display all the Food
you have consumed on 12 April 2020.
You can also see that Daily Goal Display
has updated to show the amount of calories you have consumed on 12 April 2020,
relative to your daily goal.
(by Zhang Xian)
Tired of searching for nutritional information online for the same food repeatedly? Frustrated of having no convenient place to note it down?
The update
command allows you to enter new Food
entries into Calgo’s Food Record
. Moreover, as a smart feature, Calgo detects if
there is an existing Food
entry with the same name. If so, it will edit that Food
entry with new information provided by you.
Here are some key pointers:
-
All of Calgo’s
Food
entries have unique names. -
Calgo automatically formats name inputs to proper case. Therefore it does not matter whether you input a name in upper or lower case.
-
For instance, updating a
Food
with namechicken nugget spicy
will result in theFood
being saved asChicken Nugget Spicy
in theFood Record
-
💡
|
We suggest you to be as specific as possible in naming your Food .
Instead of naming your Food "Chocolate", perhaps "White Chocolate" or "Dark Chocolate" would be a better idea.
|
Format: update n/NAME cal/CALORIES p/PROTEINS c/CARBOHYDRATES f/FATS [t/TAGS]
Examples:
Example 1: Suppose you want to create a Food
entry for Mee Goreng in Calgo. After searching online for the
nutritional values for Mee Goreng, you found that Mee Goreng has 418 calories, 8g of protein, 58g of carbohydrate and 17g of fat.
Here’s how you update your new Food
, Mee Goreng, into your Food Record
:
You should type update n/Mee Goreng cal/418 p/8 c/58 f/17
and press enter.
Once the command has been entered, the Result Display
shows the result of your command and the Food Record
has been updated with a new Food
, Mee Goreng.
Example 2: Perhaps you realised that there was an error with the nutritional values keyed in for an existing Food
, Mee Goreng, inside your Food Record
.
You wish to update
the protein value for Mee Goreng to a new value of 10g. This is how you can do it:
Type update n/Mee Goreng cal/418 p/10 c/58 f/17
as input and press enter.
Once the command has been entered, the Result Display
shows the result of your command and the Food
, Mee Goreng, in
Food Record
has been updated with a new protein nutritional value of 10g.
Example 3: Suppose you want to update
a new Food
, Char Kuay Teow, into the Food Record
. However, you typed the
name of the Food
in hurry and did not capitalise some letters properly.
Instead of "Char Kuay Teow", you accidentally typed "char KUay TeoW" in the name field. You can do this:
You can then type update n/char KUay TeoW cal/200 p/20 c/22 f/30 t/greasy
and press enter.
Calgo automatically formats the name of your Food
for you to proper case. Hence, you
see that instead of a hideous "char KUay TeoW"
being updated into the Food Record
, your new Food
item is updated as "Char Kuay Teow".

If you have overstated an amount previously (or actually vomited from over-consumption), you can amend existing
consumption records using the vomit
command.
ℹ️
|
The Food that you wish to vomit must already exist in the current Consumption Record ,
but not necessarily exist in the Food Record .

-
The
vomit
command deletes a portion of food at the specified index. This index refers to the position ofFood
shown in theConsumption Record
. The index should be a positive integer: 1, 2, 3, … -
Date follows yyyy-mm-dd format.
-
The
vomit
command has some default behavior when you choose to not provide values for certainPrefixes
. Do note that this is not the same as excluding optional parameters.-
If you do not provide the date, or if its
Prefix
does not have a value, Calgo will by default take it that youvomit
today. -
If you do not provide the portion, or if its
Prefix
does not have a value, Calgo will by default take it that you wish tovomit
the whole portionFood
, resulting in the deletion of that entire entry. -
If you specified a portion greater than what you have consumed, the entire entry will be deleted as well.

Using
vomit
on a portion of food will not affect its ratings. If you gave a rating by mistake, you can use theundo
command, which will be available from version 2.0 onwards.
Format: vomit num/INDEX [d/DATE] [portion/PORTION]
Example: Let’s say you ordered a glass of Bandung and previously used nom
with PORTION
set to 1.
However, because the drink was too sweet, you only finished half a glass, you can use vomit
to adjust your
Consumption Record
. Here’s how you can do this:
You should enter vomit num/1 portion/0.5
, then press enter.
As you can see from the Consumption Record
panel, the portion has been reduced to 0.5.
The Graph Display
also reflects a drop in calories.
