Life is not made to count calories, but if you want to have greater control of what you eat the artificial intelligence It can help you. For that, let’s tell you How to look at the calories other data of what you eat Using artificial intelligence, so that you can have more information and consciousness.
We are going to start with a series of prior tips to be able to do this, so that you can also understand The limitations of AI To count calories. Then we will tell you two ways to proceed, using conventional artificial intelligence chatbots or specific applications.
Before starting, some notes
Both the generals and the specialists in the task of giving you the nutritional value of an element will use the photo of what you have sent, they will recognize the food or the dish that appears, and will make an estimate of their calories or the information you ask.
Here, you should know that The information will not be accurate when you teach something cookedsomething that is not a commercial product. In these cases it will recognize what it is, and will tell you an estimate of its nutritional data and calories based on the ingredients that it usually has or in which he recognizes inside the photo. But there may always be variations, and cannot calculate how much of each thing you have thrown, that is, it is not something precise.
The simpler the dish you teach more precision. For example, it is not the same to teach you a paella as a loin and cheese snack, because in the second case the approximate ingredients and proportions of each are clearer, so they will adjust the level more.
A trained for this will always have more precision than the generals. Therefore, it may be interesting to lower an app created for this function or Use accessories for general AIsuch as Chatgpt GPT or the Gemini Gemstrained versions for concrete functions of these AI.
Accuracy will improve a lot When asked about commercial productsby a product with supermarket with brand and label that the AI can recognize, and from which it can extract the official nutritional information of the Internet.
Finally, In all cases you can ask about specific ingredients At an informative level, or to know if it contains something that may affect some disease or intolerance you have. You will only have to ask him next to the photo or after asking him the first question about that product.
Food information with generative
We are going to start telling you how you can look at the calories and information of what you eat using a generative AI such as Chatgpt, COPILOT, Gemini or similar ones. Using these apps that have already entered our day to day, you will save and register in others, but The information will be less accurate And there may be more mistakes, since they have not been specifically trained for this. We will use chatgpt in the example, but you can use another.
All you have to do is Send a photo of the food asking you to tell you the calories and nutritional information in a Prompt. Something like “Tell me how many calories this also has its nutritional value”. You can also ask for other data that you consider.
If you do it with a handmade food, The AI will identify what the typical ingredients will be and consider that the recipe usually has. And when you do, you will tell you the information of this dish that you have taught. Of course, it will not be the information of what you have taught exactly, but of a portion of what this dish usually has. It will also notify you of the factors that may vary.
When asked about simpler things, like a snack where all ingredients are clearly seen, then precision will increase. You can even ask for several things at once that appear in a photo, and will give you a nutritional value of the complete ration. Of course, then you can reject you to tell you that of one of the concrete elements.
When they are products Packaged, out -of -processed and/or with a visible brandthen the AI is easier to identify what is exactly, and search the Internet what are the ingredients and the complete nutritional value of that.
And as we have told you, you can also search GPTS of ChatgPT or Gemini Gems specialized in detecting food composition and value in order to have more reliable information.
Use nutritional apps with AI
There are nutritional applications that use artificial intelligence, such as Healthify, Snapcalorie or the Chilean Otter. These applications seek to help you make weekly planning or diet, analyzing and adding the calories of what you eat throughout the day.
Its operation is simple, and first you have to configure your data as age, sex, height and weight, and say what your goals are. Depending on your goals, you will make a plan of the calories that you must eat during the day, and for each meal you will upload photos of what you eat. When you do, the calories of what you have ever eating will be added And it helps you visualize what you eat more.
In each of the meals, you can add what you eat drawing a photo or adding one that you have In your gallery. Some apps will ask you to describe what it is to have a better idea. Then, the internal AI of these apps will analyze what it is and will tell you how many calories it has, adding it to what you have eaten that day.
