摘要：Due to socioeconomic changes, many people in both developed and developing countries are struggling with overweight and obesity as a result of sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy dietary habits. Preventive strategies need to be established to promote awareness on balanced diet and active lifestyle to improve overall health population. Attempts in health care services to provide the guidance for decision making in nutrition counseling have been done through the development of web-based decision support systems. Although these decision tools prove to be helpful in promoting suitable changes to the eating habits among overweight and obesity people as part of their health treatments, the tools are lacking to focus on preventive strategies especially among healthy people to cultivate the healthy lifestyle habits. This include to provide personalized menu plans that consider and suit users diversity requirements and their body needs. Therefore, objective of this study is to design and develop a web-based decision support system for recommending dietary meal plan based on the Daily Calorie Requirement (DCR) and daily activity level, known as eDietForYou. This tool could assist people to achieve their ideal weight in the way as recommended by dietitian. All of the calculations and decisions are suggested automatically by the system. Hence, this system is robust and reliable as there is no human error.
