Homework O3: The Fast-Food Diet Problem

Using the nutrition information provided in the Electronic Coursepack for Wendy's, Rubio's, or McDonalds, or using any other restaurant nutrition information you want of the same scale (# of foods in the dozens, at least), find an optimal menu for a day's worth of eating. Since prices often aren't available, try something like minimizing calories.

Submit your Excel file, with a sheet inside it where you summarize your results.

You don't have to get fancy, but if you want to, you could try forcing all results to be integers, and reporting on how the diet changes compared to a no-integer-restrictions solution.

Or if a diet problem doesn't interest you, suggest an alternate problem to me.
