Nutrition plays a significant and vital role in the development of children’s physical and mental growth. Therefore, a balanced and nutritious diet that provides all the nutrients are needed to help support the development of these young children. Accordingly, there are many health-related applications out there that have been developed by developers. However, there are some improvements that are still needed to make the medical services sturdy. This paper introduces a project research that aims to help parents in using a user-friendly one-stop centre mobile application that reserved for children’s nutritional development. As the use of smartphone and internet are widening nowadays and everything can be done online, this application also serves to ease parents to track and monitor their children’s Body Mass Index (BMI) and Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) It uses the BMI percentile method where it is highly recommended by paediatricians around the world. It is hoped that the use of this application can facilitate parents in monitoring the BMI status and BMR calories of their children and can also make them be responsible parents.
