Abstract: This document is prepared to provide a model of optimization through techniques of programming and operations research. With this model you want to get a range of food dishes that cover the amount of nutrients needed for the family of low economic resources can meet and sate their dietary needs while minimizing the costs of preparation All this with the aim of reducing the rate of malnutrition in the families of Peru and the world. To achieve this goal, the analysis focuses on the use of mixed integer programming, which uses a series of restrictions and a target function. This is divided into 3 parts: The first part provides a general context about the mixed integer programming for the solution of the problem of obtaining food dishes in order to combat malnutrition and how is that fits into our analysis. The second part, shows the procedures and results obtained for the problem. Finally, the third part contains the conclusions and observations based on the result.
