Abstract

This study is one of many that investigate the relationship between determining the nutritional ingredients in food and calculating the calories using data analysis utilizing machine learning techniques. Due to the availability of multifood photos, which must be cropped before processing, the Indian food recipes database is used for the research. The study uses a large dataset of various food photos to train state-of-the-art deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to recognize and categorize distinct food items with an amazing 99.89% accuracy. This study’s applicability spans several sectors in addition to food recognition, including calorie measurement, meal planning services, and nutritional monitoring systems. The solution is widely available to a wide range of users thanks to a user-friendly web interface. The system’s 99.89% accuracy in food detection and calorie measurement demonstrates its dependability and distinguishes it from competing options. Its ability to improve individual health, fight obesity, and encourage healthy eating habits makes it a vital tool in today’s health-conscious culture.
