Have AI estimate nutritional values from food photos

Nutrition apps recognise meals in photos and estimate nutritional values

Fits: Health & care

Your customers record meals with a photo instead of tedious typing and are more likely to keep it up. You see trends in eating habits, even if each individual value is only an estimate.

Is this for you?

  • As a coach, trainer or gym, you support people with nutrition goals and work with food diaries.
  • For your goals, trends such as “more protein, less sugar” are enough; you do not need values accurate to the gram.
  • It is about healthy adults, not the treatment of illnesses.
First step today

Weigh three of your own meals, photograph them from above and have the nutritional values estimated with the template below. Compare the result with your weighed quantities and the nutritional information on the packaging. This lets you see for yourself how far off a photo-based estimate can be.

How to go about it

  1. Define which values you need and how accurately
  2. Define photo rules for meals
  3. Weigh test meals and note target values
  4. Compare estimates and set limits
  5. Build the photo diary into coaching
  6. Regularly re-weigh to catch wrong estimates
