Meal plan optimizer

The aim of this project is to develop a meal plan optimizer using integer programming.

The program outputs a meal plan for a 5-day week with 3 characteristics:

• Respect of Reference Daily Intakes
  • Calories: 2000 kcal
  • Fats: 70 g
  • Saturates: 20 g
  • Carbohydrates: 260 g
  • Sugars: 90 g
  • Proteins: 50 g
• Variation in dishes
  • Limit of 3 daily servings per dish
  • Limit of 1 day every 3 days for fruit and vegetables
  • Limit of 1 day a week per dish
• Minization of daily expense

In order to satisfy the constraints, a mix of PuLP functions and an original implementation of the branch-and-bound algorithm is exploited.
