I agree in principle, but I'll say that the number of calories are likely not 3-4x. The 3-4x number is for deep frying chicken. You usually don't do that if you aren't also breading the chicken. A pan-fried chicken with a little oil in the pan to avoid sticking/make better thermal contact will add calories but not 3-4x more. You're likely using about 1 tbsp of oil which is around 100 kcal. 100g of chicken has around 160 kcal. Even assuming all the oil ends up on the chicken (it isn't) that's ~2x the calories at most. Perspective wise, though, it'll by the white rice or mashed potatos that are more problematic in terms of calories. Both have a load of calories and can't be eyeballed by camera. It's all about the weight for those. And if you threw in butter/oil, even harder to know what the actual calories are. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Even a little bit of variation in the amount of calories consumed vs detected by AI will be the difference between gaining or losing weight. Also, since fats are the most dense calorie wise (9 per gram), and also hardest to detect by AI as fats are usually transparent (oil), it's even harder to get a remotely accurate measurement of calories. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Not if you eat out at well known healthy chains they already have their nutrition details on their sites that AI pulls from. |
