Abstract

The menu planning helps person to keep his/her body healthy. This problem is developing in order to obtain nutritious meals within the constraint of the nutrients requirement. Therefore, planning a diet menu develops a nutritional adviser’s work and avoids errors when preparing a diet plan manually. Though, several researchers used different methods for gotten good solution. In this context, this paper elaborates a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to select the most outstanding studies that address the Menu Planning Problem (MPP) and to classify them according to the to the three following criteria: the used methods, types of patients and the required constraints. At first, a set of 4165 studies was selected. After applying the SLR’s guidelines, this collection was filtered to 13 studies using specific inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as an accurate analysis of each study. Finally, data synthesis and new perspectives for future works are incorporated in the closing section.
