alt Hacker NewsI used LLMs to count calories, but not based on photos, I mean I also did that, but primarily I fed in my exact ingredients and then used weights to get calorie estimates.
Was it always correct? Certainly not. But it helped me lose 30kg of weight since keeping even some track of calories was so much easier with LLM than any app I had used before.
Also of course it didn’t matter if I was exactly on point since it wasn’t about any kind of medicine
Curious, why it was easier to use an LLM vs a non-AI app with a DB of foods?
Seems that in this case a traditional approach would be more precise and more environmentally efficient to get to the same results.
