Healthy daily meal planner

The purpose of this project is to develop a program that solves a bi-objective diet problem to propose the user a “healthy” daily meal according to some parameters specified by the user. The program will interact with the user via a graphical interface to receive information such as age and gender that is necessary to determine daily nutritional and energy requirements and also information on the preferences of the user among the dishes available. The user will be presented all the dishes and is expected to rate some of them on a scale from 1 to 10. The main goal is to present the user a combination of dishes that satisfies the daily nutritional requirements, minimizes the cost of the daily meal and maximizes the total rating of the meal. In this paper, first the diet problem is going to be introduced, then a genetic algorithm to solve the problem will be presented.
