“Food group detection” is a LogMeal API feature that detects the predominant food groups of your reported dishes.

LogMeal uses Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computer Vision and Deep Learning for performing food detection, recognition and tracking. By simply taking a picture, you can have plenty of information about your food intake. For example, the food groups present in them. 

Currently, there are more than 1300 available dishes for recognition. Each dish has a list of food groups according to its composition. 

For example: a sushi dish has ‘fish’ and ‘rice’ as food groups.
