◦ Health information: gender, age, weight, height and activity level
◦ Dietary information: expected weight to achieve a goal and its
relative number of days
Prepared database
◦ Categories of menus and its calories
Formulas of calculation, including:

◦ Activity factor
8.
The system provides the appropriate information about menus
and its calories in each day.
The menus should be proper to individual needs and
preferences as following:
◦ For normal weight people
maintain weight
◦ For overweight people
lose weight
◦ For lean people
gain weight

The Harris-Benedict equation for BMR:
◦ English BMR Formula
For Women:
For Men:
Where:
BMR = 655 + (4.35 x w) + (4.7 x h) - (4.7 x a)
BMR = 66 + (6.23 x w) + (12.7 x h) - (6.76 x a)
w = weight in pounds, h = height in inches, a = age
◦ Metric BMR Formula
For women:
For men:
Where:
BMR = (9.563 x w) + (1.85 x h) - (4.676 x a) + 655.1
BMR = (13.75 x w) + (5.003 x h) - (6.755 x a) + 66.5
w = weight in kg, h = height in cm, a = age
