In an era of increasing awareness among people regarding health and dietary habits, it is very difficult to obtain quality information about the nutritional value of food and meals. To address this issue, we are developing the Mapper web application and the Eatvisor mobile application at IJS, which would help in solving this problem. The web application Mapper is designed as a tool for nutritionists, companies, and merchants to manage the nutritional values of foods and meals. Eatvisor is being developed for displaying, recording, and editing users' dietary decisions. One of the main themes of the thesis is the recommendation system, which is a part of the application programming interface (API) of the Mapper application.
To ensure that the recommendation system works right from the start of using the application, we need as much relevant data as possible. Therefore, we first processed and used the information on food, meals, user information and other data obtained through the SI.Menu survey.
We then developed an API that enables food recommendation based on the obtained data and the implemented algorithm. To use this API, we also upgraded the functionality of the Eatvisor application to display recommended meals.
The contribution of the thesis is a functioning recommendation system in the Eatvisor mobile application, which operates through the upgraded API of the Mapper application.
