Hi to all.

I have an idea since a long time ago but I never found people who can help me to do it, time problem mainly.
Everybody knows the nutritional facts table (nft), and we know that we have to sum the values of different products in order to know how close are we to the "optimal"; so:
if every nft is a vector, we have to do a linear combination of them to get the "optimal", also a vector.
In fact, we can express every recipe that we eat (lets say chocolate brownies) as a vector of ingredients; every ingredient have a correlated vector in the nutrients space, so we have to change the basis to get the nutrients vector of our recipe: that change of basis is represented by a matrix formed by the nft as columns.
We can make a program with all that data to optimize our diet. I'm sure engineers can do it

bye
