It happens because of improper food intake per day and lack or no physical activity involved per individual. In accordance to reduce the risk, they need to be reminded, especially on the food intake and physical activity. For this project, BMI status will be the determinant for user to choose the meal and fitness plan. A notification alert feature will be implemented per schedule as a reminder for the users. As for now, the focus of this project is an android based application. Therefore, this application is one of the efforts to reduce the number of obesity in Malaysia and also to provide a healthy lifestyle to the society. Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology has been selected to be used for the project development phase. For the research methodology, the author used literature review, observation and questionnaire to obtain information relating to this project. The application enables users to calculate BMI, calculate daily caloric intake, proposed daily meal plan and fitness plan with subscription and provide health information to be revised and view by the user. In addition, to ensure the application is meeting the usability standard, the author has been decided to conduct a usability testing. Based on the testing, it shows that HealthSquare is a good application with a score of 73. It is considered as grade B in the usability standard. The application should be enhanced in the future by developing the application in another operating system such as iOS and window with an improved GUI. The author suggested to include GPS Tracking System and add more meal focusing on Malaysian cuisines. A monitoring program should be implemented for historical tracking. It shows that HealthSquare is a viable solution for planning a healthy lifestyle.
