Macro Calculator

A Macro calculator that calculates your proteins, fats, carbs, and calories based on the user's height, weight, age, activity level, and gender. After the recommended macros are calculated, the user can track their progress on a calendar to see whether they completed their goal for that day. Users will be able to select a day on the calendar and input their meals.
