Abstract
The majority of young adults are consuming food that are excess in fat and inadequate in servings of calcium-rich foods, fruits, deep-yellow and green vegetables, and whole grains. This pattern is associated with increased food consumption away from home. Increasingly, employed mothers and meal-determining family members also resort to food sources away from home. Some factors that affect this pattern are time scarcity, cooking skills, access to fresh foods, and behavioral practices. Meals prepared away from home, however, have been associated with a low diet quality and higher body mass index and more frequent home food preparation is associated with better adherence to dietary objectives. The focus of this study is to consider digital-based meal planning as an intervention tool to limit the factors that affect nutritional status. The study employs developer frameworks to roll out research on participant devices and utilizes techniques from HOME Plus study and meal planning practices.
