Decision Support System For Food Menu Selection For Boarding Students Using The Fuzzy AHP Method

This research aims to develop a decision support system specifically designed to help boarding school students choose a balanced food menu by considering nutritional aspects such as carbohydrates, protein and fat. The method used in this research is the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP), which aims to give weight to predetermined criteria and determine limits or thresholds for nutritional needs according to the condition of each student. This system is implemented in the form of a web-based application that makes it easier for students to determine food choices that suit their daily calorie and nutritional needs. The research results show that the system developed is able to provide optimal food menu recommendations, based on calculations of nutritional needs processed using the Fuzzy AHP method. Thus, it is hoped that this system can help boarding house students maintain a balanced nutritional intake and improve the quality of their health during the study period. Further implementation of this system is expected to be able to be integrated with users' food preferences to provide more personalized recommendations.
