Iterative algorithm for creating nutritionally balanced food lists
First Claim
Patent Images
1. :
- An iterative algorithm for building a nutritionally balanced list of foods comprising the steps of (a) creating an array of values indicating the level of deficiency/surplus in the current food list when compared to a selected standard;
(b) comparing each food in a list of favorites to the deficiency/surplus profile, and generating a score for each food indicating the level of match;
(c) using the scores to guide a user or algorithm in selecting a food to add to the list; and
(d) repeating the above steps until the desired level of compliance is reached.

Abstract
A nutrition planning system implemented in the form of an iterative algorithm that guides users to create a list of foods that matches a chosen set of nutritive standards. The algorithm builds a Nutrient Deficiency/Surplus Profile (NDSP), which is then compared against each food in a list of favorites. The result is a score for each food, which is used to guide a user, or an automatic algorithm to the appropriate choices. The algorithm continues until the desired level of compliance has been reached.
