Uber Eats total calories and rank

A number none of us want to know

Happy Sunday all. Hope you are having a relaxing weekend.

I don't take advantage of Uber Eats enough, but when I do I usually end up eating junk. I think I'm not the only one who experiences this. However, it's a free country. People should be able to eat what they want I guess.

Something I've noticed lately is that more and more apps seem to have an interest in creating leaderboards in order to pit users against each other. A little healthy competition isn't a bad thing but shoehorning this functionality into everyday apps feels like overkill. This got me thinking though... what if there was a way to see your caloric intake for all of your previous Uber Eats orders? In addition, you could show your rank as it compares to everyone else using the app.

This would create a wild incentive structure. You could reward people who consumed the most (or least) calories on any given day. Even better, you could create dieting or weight gain "streaks" in order to retain users for multiple days in a row.

What do you think your total calorie count would be?
