Optimisation of nutrition

In optimisation models that need to be solved using linear programming method require a set of input measurements X that include transfer of material, energy and information's, and set of output measurements Y that define the object of the process. Optimisation in a model includes definition of the minimum or maximum of the objective function. Optimisation often includes a large number of factors and the economy of algorithm effort depends on the applied model system. Using optimisation for formation of a nutrition model allows meal planing (dinner) by using linear programming. The goal is to compose an optimal meal form offered components with an economy profit. This includes a meal that satisfies the energy and nutrition needs according to RDA recommendations (Recommended Dietary Allowance). Also, from several possible choices of meal components and supplements should be chosen only the one with realised under given conditions. Program LinearProgramming is used to obtain optimal meal composition. Obtained model satisfies the nutritive and energy needs of a person or a group. The price of an optimised meal shows the benefit of optimisation in meal planing by minimal meal price.
