About the Visualization

The scatterplot provides an overview of regular eating pattern of all participants. Hunger level visualization will help users identify whether their hunger level is maintained in ideal zone. Visualization of food satisfaction with mood will enable a user to know about external (e.g. eating effort) and internal (e.g. mood, company) factors that might influence their satisfaction out of food.
