METHOLODY
At Meal AI, we aim to help users make healthier choices by generating personalized meal plans, nutrition estimates, and a simple health score. All calculations are AI-generated based on widely accepted health guidelines and databases.

1. Health Score Calculation
How it works:
BMI formula:
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2The score is assigned based on BMI ranges:
Underweight (BMI < 18.5): Score = 7.5
Normal weight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25): Score = 9.5
Overweight (25 ≤ BMI < 30): Score = 7.0
Obese (BMI ≥ 30): Score = 5.0
Adjusted for age:
Age 30–49: -0.5
Age 50 and above: -1.0
Sources: WHO BMI Guidelines, CDC BMI Info
2. Nutrition Calculations
We collect data:
Meal AI estimates the calories, protein, carbs, and fats for each meal based on the ingredients you provide or scan.
How it works:
Our system uses an ingredient-matching algorithm to reference nutrition data per 100g or per serving.
We calculate totals based on ingredient quantities in each recipe.
Data Source: USDA FoodData Central.
Nutritional values are estimated based on typical ingredient data sourced from public databases such as USDA FoodData Central.
3. Meal Plan Generation
Meal plans are created using AI-driven logic that takes into account:
Ingredients you have at home
Cuisine preferences (e.g., Korean, Mediterranean)
Dietary restrictions (e.g., vegan, gluten-free)
Nutrition goals (e.g., calories < 1150, protein < 30g)
Our goal is to match meals to your dietary needs while keeping recipes simple and achievable.
Guidelines referenced: Dietary Guidelines for Americans
