The aim of the project is to inform the user about how many calories they should consume on that specific day. The main part of the project revolves around calculating the BMI value of the user by getting some user data. I used the Calorie class to do this calculation.

BMR = 10 * weight + 6.25 * height - 5 * age + 5 - 10 * temperature formula is used.

The second part of project is on webscraping. I did only used SelectorLib package to extract HTML data from the web page. This specific website that I worked with did not pose any problems while scraping data, however, some sites only allow browsers to access the information. Therefore, I added headers while trying to reach the website. In the Temperature class I cleaned up the returned docstring. Later I only outputted the temperature value on float (used Celcius for calculations).

Ultimately, gathered the local temperature data of the user and their information to calculate how many calories they require for the day.
