LogMeal API is capable of providing nutritional information about a meal by simply taking a picture. It detects either if in the image there is prepared food, a drink, a fresh fruit or vegetable or a sauce. Additionally, we can detect if the picture does not contain any kind of food. This feature is perfect for large-scale image data processing and categorization. The detailed list of food types available are:

  • 'food': prepared/cooked food or elaborated dish (e.g. steak, spaghetti bolognese, caesar salad, etc.).
  • ''drink': any kind of drink (e.g. water, orange juice, beer, etc.).
  • 'ingredient': any type of fruit or raw/individual vegetable (e.g. apple, eggplant, banana, etc.).
  • 'sauce': prepared sauce or sauce-like food (e.g. soy sauce, mayonnaise, ketchup, etc.).
