Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may be harmful to health and even can even result in death.This problem can be reduced for a person if this follows a proper diet, in which the consumption of kilocalorie, carbohydrates, lipids and proteins per day are restricted.Given a database of foods to find the 5 meals in each day of a week becomes a complex task.In this article a way to generate diets using genetic algorithms is presented, which one considers the restrictions mentioned and also allows establish preferences for certain food groups.
