The health app on my phone (from my health fund) records my daily steps; I noticed yesterday that I can also photograph meals and get points for doing so.
So today I photographed my lunch via the app; I could see that the app scanned the photo three or four times, and then to my surprise told me that on the plate there was 125 g quinoa, chicken, broccoli and sauce. I don't recall the weights of the other items except for the quinoa. Now I can't restore that dialog and I also can't see how I can get the photograph itself (maybe next time I'll photograph outside of the app and inside). But I can see how much of each macronutrient there was: 1.1 portions of vegetables (and I thought that there was less broccoli than usual), 0.3 portions of fruit (I wonder where that came from), 106 g carbohydrates, 56 g protein and 20 g fats. The quinoa is responsible for 97 g carbohydrate, 21 g protein and 9 g fat, whereas the chicken contributed 31 g protein and 3 g fat. The broccoli contributed 5 g carbohydrate and 2 g protein, whereas the sauce had 5 g carbohydrate, 2 g protein and 8 g fat. Althogether 845 calories, 36% of my daily requirements (that means 2,347 calories that seems a bit high). I'm impressed that the quinoa was identified properly and not mistaken for cous cous or the Israeli invention p'titim (literally 'flakes' as in snowflakes) which are also cous cous - semolina. They look quite similar from a distance.
Isn't AI wonderful? I'll try and photograph my meagre supper (a piece of 'white' pizza left over from yesterday). It will be interesting to see what the AI makes of my breakfast; I suspect that not all of the ingredients will be visible.
