The energy needs are determined by the needs of Protein, Carbohydrate, Fat, Vitamin and Mineral. The paper is made in the form of an application program using Mobile Programming. Mobile Programming by implementing Reverse Engineering. The tool used is a J2ME application on cell phone emulator having minimal CLDC, CDC 1.1, MIDP 2.0 and MIDlet. Main contribution, BMI as the simple, fast and easy to used method. BMI can be used to determine the nutrition status of individual. The benefit for individual reduce the cost of healthcare. The new result is the prediction of the nutrition status of individual using by BMI can be applied with new ways through the Mobile Application on Mobile Device, that is implemented to the cell phone.
