Earlier this week we were talking about Augmented Reality Menus possibly making their way into U.S. restaurants but have you heard of Calorie Mama or SnapCalorie? These are apps that help you count calories.
But it’s not your typical calorie counting app where you have to manually type everything in… SnapCalorie, is powered by AI, it attempts to get an accurate calorie count and nutrition breakdown of a meal from a single photo taken with a smartphone.
So, you take a pic of any meal, and it will tell you the calories, fat, carbs and protein!
Some argue that they’re not 100% accurate but close enough…and it seems to be more accurate than any other option!
Their claim is that human beings are terrible at visually estimating the portion size of a plate of food and these apps will help you with that!
Would you find something like this useful? Or would it become a terrible obsession???
