Pretty cool but unfortunately it’s wildly inaccurate. I said “two chicken breasts and lots of green beans”. It estimated 262 kcal. The “actual” calories were 754 kcal. Specifying the actual grams was better, of course, but still off by quite a bit.
I'm a little confused. If I search online the calories in a chicken breast, the first thing I see is 128 calories per chicken breast (https://www.verywellfit.com/how-many-calories-in-chicken-bre...). The number of calories in green beans is relatively small and so 262 seems like a good estimate. How large were the chicken breasts?
The chicken breasts were fairly large 386g cooked (so even more raw). 315g of green beans. When I provided the grams it did better but was still off by 250+ calories (I’m guessing it ignored me mentioning that that was cooked weight.) It’s a cool tool and it can be useful but if you’re not careful you’ll run into some very inaccurate guesstimates. One way to improve accuracy would be for the system to learn from previous logs (both in the system and previous apps.)
