Abstract
Background
Chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease are rising in South Asia, with poor diet a major contributor. Most dietary apps are designed for Western foods and struggle with culturally diverse dishes such as Pakistani cuisine.
Objective
This study aimed to build a machine learning-based system that can recognise Pakistani dishes, estimate portion sizes, and calculate their nutritional value.
