Abstract

Breast cancer (BC) is a disease of tumor-forming on the breast, it is life-threatening among women, especially middle-aged females. This study aimed to develop 7 days vegetarian menu for breast cancer patients. The methods involved for food menu development in the study were Linear Programming (LP) and Integer Programming (IP) with the aid of AMPL. The results of the study showed that LP and IP could be adopted for menu planning for 7 days. In the future study, the researchers could consider designing other types of vegetarian menu using a larger food dataset.
