Related I worked on a real project that used a database of recipes and nutritional information to build varied meal plans to meet certain dietary requirements and goals. We used a linear solver and added a lot heuristics e.g. what time of day certain recipes were 'acceptible' suggestions. We also needed a lot variants e.g. proportions to meet kJ targets.
