Abstract

Every year, freshmen across the US gain weight from the food courts on college campuses. Studies have found ⅔ of freshmen gain weight during their first year while 70% of students gain weight and body fat before graduation. Our mobile web application 'UC FIT' will reduce the overall weight gain and unhealthy lifestyle college students face every year. UC FIT helps students navigate the weight room and the food courts. UC FIT will help students live out a healthy lifestyle by informing them of what food options are available, each day from the food courts. Additionally, UC FIT will provide students a seamless way to track their workouts and learn how to operate the gym equipments, using our custom QR codes placed on specific gym equipment. UC FIT will help students from freshmen to senior year from gaining excessive weight throughout their academic career.
