Applications of Linear Programming on Diet Problem for Subways’ Sets Menu in Malaysia

Abstract

Consuming a proper and balanced diet is necessary for each and every individual. It makes them fit, healthy, and keep them safe from chronic diseases. However, in today's world, many individuals frequently buy fast food without realising that the food may not provide all the daily nutrients that the body needs. Therefore, this study aims to propose a mathematical modelling on diet problem for the subways sets menu in Malaysia. The proposed mathematical model will be solved by using the Microsoft Excel Solver in order to produce optimal solution, which mean that the chosen menu from the Subway fulfil the daily requirements of calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fats for both men and women.
