AB  - Aims to provide an expert system to offer dietary advice to those
on a vegetarian diet or responsible for catering for vegetarians. Chose
Prolog as language for the construction of the expert system (a language
initially developed for use on mainframe computers but which more
recently has become generally available for PCs). In its present form
the system assesses the intake of protein, calcium, iron, zinc and
vitamin C and offers relevant dietary advice. It works on a 24‐hour
recall system, prompting the user to enter the type and quantity of food
eaten at each meal. The system also provides a facility to enter
different drinks and snacks taken throughout the day. The extension of
the database (in terms both of nutrients and of foods) and the provision
of a cursor‐key or mouse‐driven input system (to highlight the chosen
option in each menu) would produce a package suitable for use in a
commercial environment.
