Abstract

Accessing accurate and comprehensive food calorie and nutrition data remains a challenge, as existing references are often incomplete, outdated, or difficult to access. This limitation reduces the effectiveness of daily dietary monitoring for both individuals and healthcare professionals. This study proposes a method that integrates Bootstrapping Language-Image Pre-training (BLIP) and the Large Language Model (LLaMA) to automatically detect food calories, providing broader coverage of nutritional data. Bootstrapping Language-Image Pre-training generates textual descriptions from food images uploaded by users, which the Large Language Model then processes to estimate key nutritional values, including calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrates. The experimental results demonstrate that this multimodal approach improves both accuracy and efficiency compared to conventional methods. The proposed method offers a practical tool for individuals to independently track daily nutrition and provides healthcare professionals with adaptive AI-based nutritional analysis, contributing to the advancement of digital health technologies in nutrition monitoring and dietary management.
