Abstract: Managing a work-life balance has always been challenging, especially after the recent trend of working from home, which has made maintaining one's fitness and diet regime strenuous. Failing to adhere to a fitness and diet plan has been shown to cause long-term effects on a person's health including obesity and shortened lifespans. Currently, people plan their fitness and diet plans around their schedule, but these tasks are challenging to maintain. Users tend to give up these plans due to a lack of time and planning. To help with better planning for a fitness and diet regime, we propose, CHARLIE, a chatbot that works around a user's schedule to intelligently recommend diets and fitness goals based on their calendar. CHARLIE is a recommendation system that suggests the users' a certain meal and fitness activities based on the amount of time they have left in their day and the number of calories they lose.
