The Habit of Taking Pictures of Food Improves Diet Quality

The habit of taking pictures of food helps to improve diet quality. Scientists conducted a study, in which participants were asked to estimate the energy value and weight of consumed dishes by eye, as well as to remember what they ate or to photograph the food. The researchers concluded that taking photos helps people to more carefully monitor their diet and improve its quality. In the future, AI services for automatic food analysis may be helpful in this regard.
