UMA VARIAÇÃO PARA O PROBLEMA CLÁSSICO DA DIETA: A MINIMIZAÇÃO DO CONSUMO DE CALORIAS

In the literature, the objective of the classical diet problem is to minimize food costs, while respecting the nutritional constraints of foods required for healthy eating. This paper presents a research carried out at the University of Passo Fundo, which investigated the process of mathematical modeling for optimizing the diet problem in order to determine how should be the weekly diet for the minimum calorie intake . For validating the model were considered real data obtained by field survey. The results obtained for the diet problem are suggestions optimized for daily meals, that considered the dietary restrictions for to have a healthy diet, with caloric values lower than those charged by the nutritionist, thus making the diet even more effective
