Abstract

A nutritional management system. The system comprises a processor, a memory, a first data store comprising a list of products, universal product codes associated with the products, and nutritional information associated with the products, a second data store comprising purchase histories linked to a plurality of loyalty card users, and an application stored in the memory. When executed by the processor, the application reads a purchase history of a loyalty card user over a most recent predefined time period from the second data store, analyzes a most recent predefined time period of the purchase history of the loyalty card user based on objective nutritional guidelines to identify a predefined number of most unhealthy purchased items, searches the first data store to find substitutes for the unhealthy purchased items, transmits the substitutes, receives a selection of one or more of the substitutes, and promotes generating a shopping list comprising selected substitutes.
