Abstract:
|
The application developed in this study is an optimization program which provides users a daily menu containing all the required amounts of nutrients with a minimum cost and a maximum rating. The rating is taken from the user via a user interface. A user can rate all individual items available in the database or groups of meals on a scale from 0 to 10. The program also uses the age and gender of the user to determine daily nutritional and energy requirements. A multi-objective genetic algorithm is used to determine an appropriate daily menu based on cost, user preferences and nutritional requirements.
