Introduction: There is a number of software tools aimed at the validation of healthy menus, but their underlying model remains unknown and they are not very flexible to be modified. The goal of this project is to show a basis model, described in standard computer languages, flexible to be modified and also a related software tool for menu planning and validation. The software tool validates the Laws of Correct Nutrition, criteria described in most of the food guides are included in this model, yet allows to create constraint formulation without having knowledge in programming.
Materials and methods: After the definition of the requirements via food guides analysis, we consult nutrition scientists from Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco. Then we design the software and implemented it. We capture the values included in the Mexican food tables. We finally validate and verify the model and some menus.
Results: We develop an embedded system in which we perform the validation of 7 menus of people with different characteristics: 4 women and 3 men, ages ranging from 18 to 43 years, heights from 153 to 178 cm, weights from 48 to 78 kg, and budget from $60 to $200 Mexican pesos. These menus were validated by nutrition scientists.
Conclusion: Menu planning for a nutritional-diet point of view is essential, as this is a heavy-resources-consuming process. To offer an adaptable software tool which performs menu validation automatically targets the solution of health problems related to feeding.
