Abstract - The increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases underscores the need for personalized nutrition and fitness solutions. Traditional, generic dietary and workout plans often fail to account for the individual differences in metabolism and physiology. To address this challenge, we propose a machine learning-driven nutrition advisory system that provides tailored meal and workout recommendations based on user-specific health metrics, including age, gender, weight, height, activity level, and dietary preferences.
Our system incorporates scientifically validated metabolic equations, such as the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for estimating Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and calculating Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), alongside predictive modelling techniques to enhance the accuracy of recommendations. Leveraging machine learning algorithms, the system adapts and improves its predictions over time based on user feedback, ensuring more personalized and optimized health advice.
A web-based interface allows users to input their health data, receive real-time meal and workout plans, and monitor their progress. Additionally, the system includes a comprehensive nutritional database to offer meal plans that cater to specific goals, such as weight loss, muscle gain, or balanced nutrition. Experimental results demonstrate the system's high accuracy in BMR and caloric intake predictions, as well as its effectiveness in improving health outcomes compared to existing approaches.
Key words: Machine learning, personalized nutrition, fitness planning, metabolic equations, predictive modelling, adaptive recommendations, health management.
