This study was conducted to inform the consumers through this application on
what healthy food their body needs daily for them to have a healthy lifestyle. It was
developed to make it convenient for people to choose food they would consume. This
study is for the people who want to learn about different food recipes. Conveniently
sorted into categories and accessible via a quick, simple search, the user will login and
verify their personal information. After the registration, they will then be able to browse a
recipe which they can save after creating an account. The admin will manage the recipes
in the application, will verify the email of every consumer, and will be in charge for
backup and recovery. The researchers will evaluate the performance of the Healthy Food
Recipes and Benefits Application by means of IT expertise; these are User Experience,
Compatibility Testing, and Functionality Testing. The researchers used the web as a data
gathering tool with data derived from different studies. This study will help the people
browse for a wide-selection of food, view and save recipes they want, give them a
preview of the benefits of every food they will browse, and provide them a step-by-step
instruction on preparing the food. This study will help every user of the application to
become aware and pay attention to their diet and physical health.

1. INTRODUCTION
Food is part of everyone’s daily life. People are working hard to provide food for
their families, but a lot are not considering eating healthy food and often settles for junk
and fast food. With this, the researchers decided to create a mobile application which will
allow people to see a variety of healthy food with their corresponding benefits when
consumed. Most people today use their mobile devices to order from fast food chains, so
a mobile application that gives them option of what food to prepare and presenting them
its benefits would surely help people change their perspective about their choices on
food.
the internet globally in recent years. Billions of individuals have achieved thanks to
smartphones. Because more people are using smartphones, there is a huge market
opportunity for mobile applications. These apps are currently being used by people for a
variety of things, including shopping, reserving cinema tickets, daily planning, and
entertainment. People now rely heavily on mobile applications in their daily lives. The
creation of a mobile application has the exceptional ability to reach a wide range of
potential customers and is done for the convenience of the user. and balanced diet that
can provide enough nutritional value for their body. How The nourishing components of
food known as nutrients are necessary for the growth, development, and maintenance of
all bodily processes. If a vitamin is not present, some aspects of function and
consequently human health suffer. The metabolic processes slow down or even cease
when nutrient intake is irregular compared to the nutrient needs determined by cell
activity. ever, there are also people who don’t give much attention to their physical
health.
1.1PROJECT CONTEXT
any age in their personal and social life. According to Neacşu, “the right to health, just as
the right to good education, is one of the fundamental rights of any human being”
(Neacşu, 2010). The promotion of healthy lifestyles has been gaining popularity as a tool
for developing public health. Studies indicated that healthy lifestyles enhance lifelong
health, increase the quality of life, and decrease morbidity and mortality (Ebem, 2007).
Lifestyle choices and individuals’ behaviors have the potential to influence health and
improve the quality of life (Lyons & Langille, 2000). During the transition from
choices that affect both their current and future health (Nader et al., 2008; Telama, 2009).
This research protocol aims to examine consumers' attitudes and behaviors toward
sustainable and healthy eating through a multidisciplinary approach that considers fiscal,
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought almost everyone with no choice but to stay
at home as part of the safety protocols of the government. As a result, many people relied
on their mobile phones to get food from different food-delivery applications available.
This made the researchers thought of coming up with a mobile application which will
give people ideas on what food to prepare when they are running out of ideas to make
sure they are choosing healthy food options instead of ordering food from big fast-food
chains.
The researchers had proposed and planned this project, after careful observation
and analysis of the problem. As a result, the researchers had thought of a solution to this
problem which led to the development of this mobile application. This application aims
to make consumers have a go to app where they can see a wide selection of food, its
corresponding recipe, and its benefits for them to be guided on their choice for food.
to support consumers in their efforts to make healthier food choices. To better deliver on
the second of these objectives, it was determined that it might be necessary to rate recipes
and develop a method of rating food recipes that were likely to be healthier. Fundamental
to this requirement was a mechanism for rating foods based on their healthiness, and a
review was undertaken to identify the different methods to achieve this. And to be an
easily accessible application the researchers planned to use Android operating system for
this application because Android is the most used and accessible mobile operating system
in Philippines. The researchers used the internet in gathering the data needed in the
development of this application, with blog post and article as most used gathering tool in
gathering the data we needed and knowing what are the types of healthy recipes. The
researchers are focusing on meat and vegetables recipes with nutrition facts to show the
key nutrients to the users that will impact their health and also to support the dietary
needs.
Healthy food recipes and benefits application is about helping people make healthier
food choices. It also helps them to maintain a healthy lifestyle by doing what is right for
their body. The purpose is to inform the consumers through this application on what food
their body needs in their daily life to have a healthy lifestyle by providing food recipes
which has a nutrition information that will help the users maintain the needed nutrients for
their body. In this application, the consumers who will benefit from this, are those people
who are proactively seeking for healthy foods that will give their body a nutrient and have a
healthy lifestyle. These consumers will want to maximize their health in order to boost their
immunity and reduce vulnerability to disease and illness. [3]. The researchers got their
The main objective of this study is to design and develop Healthy Food
Recipes and Benefits Application.
1. To design and develop the Healthy Food Recipes and Benefits with the following
features:
1.1 User
2.2 Compatibility
2.3 Functionality
This study will mainly design and develop the Healthy Food Recipes and Benefits
Application and to evaluate the performance of The Healthy Food Recipes and Benefits
Application.
The target consumers of this study are those people who wants to learn a variety
of food recipes and who are looking for healthy recipes with benefits. Moreover, those
who have android devices such as mobile phone and tablets. The researchers aimed to
provide an application with user-friendly features for them to enjoy while learning about
food recipes and its benefits. Additionally, its accessibility would be one of its best
features, giving users a chance to use the app, and access the recipes whether they’re
online or offline. These consumers can utilize the application, can view the ingredients
and recipes posted in the application. Lastly, this application will mostly provide food
recipes which are proven to be containing healthy ingredients and have good benefits for
it to serve its purpose of helping the people make healthier food choice.
The Healthy Food Recipes and Benefits Application system is delimited not to
include direct messaging, comment, diet planner, calorie calculator weight calculator and
activity tracking. The Healthy Food Recipes and Benefits Application is a mobile app.
The user must have an android system to be able to access the system. It can be access by
The development of nutrition services applications can help people to take control
of their nutrition and health through better eating. There are a lot of benefits they can get
in nutrition services applications. Users can find all the healthy recipes in this mobile
application. This chapter is about the review of related literature that has relevance to our
topic.
2.1DISCUSSION OF MODEL
The existing mobile applications in the market are mainly related to diet and
nutrition, including the measurement of the energy expenditure, the calories intake, the
sensor, and communications technologies’ that can enhance chronic disease care beyond
the traditional outpatient physician-patient encounter. This includes applications that run
on mobile phones, sensors that track vital signs and health activities, and cloud-based
computing systems. There has been an explosion of medical apps over the last 5 yr. with
more than 13 000 apps on health care topics alone available to Apple iPhone users and
over 6000 medical apps available to Android users. Close to one in five individuals with
a smartphone have downloaded a health app resulting in 44 million health app downloads
in 2012 and it is predicted that there will be 142 million downloads by 2016.
This study will contribute to understanding children's perceptions of food choices
and the influence of these perceptions on healthy eating. Research on the promotion of
healthy eating among children by influencing attitudes and behaviors, stresses the need to
encourage repeated exposure to a wide variety of foods and to address children's self-
efficacy for choosing healthier foods. Studying healthy eating among children from their
own perspectives has become increasingly important, not only to inform effective
interventions to reduce childhood overweight and obesity, but also to influence children's
understanding of what, when, and how much to eat. In addition, a life-course approach
that examines dietary exposures across different phases of child development is essential
To achieve this goal, the development of a mobile application for Android devices
is proposed. The development of this type of mobile application is related to the Ambient
Assisted Living (AAL) subject, assisting, and motivating young people to adopt healthy
diet habits and promote physical activity. [5] The development of smartphones has led to
run on these mobile devices. From a public health perspective, smartphone apps can
Despite this, researchers to date have largely developed apps to intervene in the
clinical care setting for patient self-management, whereby a patient monitors themselves
and receives therapeutic feedback, or for real-time therapy where no self-reported data is
required from the patient. The commercial sector has developed numerous apps for
weight loss that include information on nutrition and physical activity, although the
majority are based on calorie counting approaches and may not always reflect best
practice guidelines for weight management. [6] This project sought both to provide easily
healthier food choices. To better deliver on the second of these objectives, it was
determined that it might be necessary to rate products and develop a method of rating
food recipes that were likely to be healthier. Fundamental to this requirement was a
mechanism for rating foods based on their healthiness, and a review was undertaken to
identify the different methods to achieve this. Once again, a series of criteria were
considered in making the choice and these were based primarily on the quality of the
supportive evidence, the likely acceptance of the method by the nutrition community,
current methods being used around the world, and congruence with local Australian
Mobile health (mHealth) tools are also particularly suitable when it comes to
there is growing consensus among researchers and practitioners that novel approaches
using the internet and mHealth apps should be explored. For example, their zero-
geography feature means that access to apps is not restricted to locations and can be
delivered directly to families in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. This is
especially advantageous for a parent population that reports lack of time, scheduling
management programs.
The transition to college or university is an important period for young people,
who are often facing their first opportunity to make their own food decisions. Young
adults can make choices that will have a negative or positive impact on their eating
behaviors. Obesity is a very serious problem in the United States, and college students are
no exception to the issues of health and healthy food choices that may be offered by the
foodservice industry. Therefore, we need to find useful information about healthy foods
and classify the characteristics of healthy foods especially for young adults such as
college students. [8]. Through the years the food insecure households have developed
among themselves various strategies or measures to cope up with food crises. However, it
is not clear whether household food security strategies and coping mechanisms will also
lead to better nutrition of vulnerable groups. It is on this question that a study on the
linkages between food and nutrition security of households in rural and coastal villages
was conducted. [9]. Food recipes are judged based on the taste and the ingredients of the
dish. The system developed in this project treats the ingredients as the primary source for
recommending a recipe to a user. If a user searches for chicken, the system will display

The researchers conducted a review of several applications to see all the features
they have. The researchers got seven categories in all applications upon comparing all the
applications to see what features they have or don’t have. After comparing, it turned out
that one application has a login feature, four applications have nutrition information, two
of those show a level of difficulty in preparing the food, all six applications have a
cooking method, four of those have a cooking time, five applications have a bookmark,
and two applications have a rating. All these observations helped the researchers in
2.2Conceptual Framework
Researchers believe that a person’s healthy lifestyle can be improved based on
using an application that is easy to use and understand. To do this, we will depend on the
processes and concepts that will be used to enable this method. The researchers have
proposed a system application that would provide for the immediate use to look for
healthy food recipes focusing on distributing quality needs of a user where it can be
controlled.
Figure 1. Conceptual Framework of the Healthy Foods Recipes and Benefits Application
The researchers have observed the benefits of healthy food and recipes by
improvement, they managed to search all the healthy food recipes for the design of the
system so that all the healthy foods can be gathered. To support the system proposal, we
have gathered and researched for a few related literatures about system. It is fundamental
to know the strength and weaknesses of the system for it to be improved. The design and
implementation needed a process in defining the architecture of the system proposed to
be developed. The researchers used Rapid Application Development for the methodology
to emphasize the use of our proposal and the user feedback over strict planning and
requirements recording.
The plan to be developed is a solution for every user that is limited in resources.
The researchers designed the system application to be used by other users that are limited
on internet service or mobile data services. It is a solution for immediate research of food
benefits without the hassle of thinking about the internet. It is also functional for low-end
devices.
recommended for those who wish to have a healthy diet as they will be provided here
with food recipes which is guaranteed to be healthy when consumed. This system will
benefit all, including health-conscious people, and can be a starter tool for a person who
plans to have a healthier lifestyle, which begins with his or her food choices.
