Abstract
Generally, exercise and nutrition are the two ways to maintain a healthy weight. Most of the time exercise is given more importance over nutrition. However, nutrition is equally important or else it leads to malnutrition which is of major concern in many of the African and Asian countries. Through this chapter, the authors attempt to understand the reasons for lack of knowledge about nutrition and help in designing solutions using gamification to alter nutritional behavior. The chapter discusses malnutrition causes and provides an overview of recent gamified developments to promote nutrition and reduce malnutrition. Few online and offline interventions is proposed by categorizing people into adults, children, and teachers. Finally, octalysis is performed on the presented solutions to get an idea of used and unutilized coredrives/motivators and modify for better gamification experience to improve nutrition.
