IDENTIFYING THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF THE DAY’S

MEAL AND GIVING SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE THE

SAME

JENIFER.S
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
In this fast moving world, women are no longer the simple souls, they once were . Now they are
entrepreneurs, teachers, doctors, pilots, policewomen and whatnot. In order to finish a day
successfully, women need energy, and they try to get it from a healthy diet. In spite of being well read
and informed, they tend to leave out certain nutrients, due to the regular diet which they have been
following for years. Thus a good application is needed to inform the women of the nutrients taken in
and those deficient, in the day’s food.

SOLUTION:
The best way to tackle this problem will be to create a mobile application which gives the
women the total nutrient count their whole family will be intaking the next day, and naming the
nutrients which are deficient and giving suggestions as to which food item contains that nutrient, by
analyzing the menu entered by the women the previous day itself, so that changes can be made
accordingly.
VALUE PROPOSITION:
Research states that an average woman spends 31 years of her lifetime on a diet and nearly 45
million Americans diet every single year, the count reaches a staggering amount when the number of
people dieting in the whole world is taken into account. This shows that women and dieting are
always inseparable. It is a well established fact that eating wholesome foods and maintaining a
balanced diet is all that is needed to live a healthy lifestyle. Thus when this application is done, it will
be a “WIN WIN SITUATION” where we get our product sold quickly and create a huge change in
the lifestyle of women.

DIFFERENTIATION:
Most of the apps out there are not personalized , for example, saambar(a lentil soup) is prepared
in different methods in different parts of India ,as people of different communities tend to cook their
food in a different manner, the ingredients used are not always the same which causes a change in the
nutritious value.
In this application, the ingredients used for a certain recipe are not assumed, but checked with
the user ensuring that the outputs are more personalized and correct.

CORE TECHNOLOGY:
The technology which will be used to develop this app is either Android studio or Flutter.
There are no hardware components required, except a mobile phone with internet connection
at the user side and a database server.
WORKING PHASES:

 Login to your account.

 Enter the dishes cooked usually and the ingredients present in it - data gets saved in the
database.
 Enter the meal plan for the next day.
 The nutrients present in the food will be displayed.
 The nutrients absent in the food will be identified and suggestions will be given.

 Thereby ensuring that women are able cook a balanced diet for their whole family, with lesser
amount of stress and lead a healthier lifestyle.

 Thus technology in a small significant form can and will be able to enable in women
empowerment and transform our world.
