Can AI tools make meal plans that help us lose weight the right way? In a new study, a team of researchers compared AI’s meal planning abilities to those of a dietician. The results showed that AI-made meal plans – when compared to dietician plans – severely undercalculated the needed amount of calories and macronutrients like carbs and overemphasized other macronutrients like proteins and lipids. The team cautioned that teens should not solely rely on AI to make meal plans for weight loss, saying that the consistent deviation of five different AI models from nutritional guidelines recommended by health organizations could have negative effects on growing bodies.

      Well, since over 40% of the world is considered overweight … maybe we should have fewer calories.

          Lemmy logic on full display again. A user merely mentions that almost half the world’s population is overweight and could stand to lose some weight - and the response is “stupid take, losing weight too fast can destroy your organs.”

          And people are actually upvoting that. Great. Just great. Good job, guys.

          It’s a fine take. You just dislike AI and you need dopamine from online arguing.

        If that 60% of people who aren’t weren’t occupied with working hard not to starve they might take offense to your use of “we” (Satire)

          Food isn’t expensive - high quality food is. Junk is cheap which is why obesity is especially issue with low-income families. Nobody is starving.

            I am not talking about people who have easy acces to processed foods.

            I don’t have exact stats nor know how big% of the world that is but people going to bed hungry and being underweight is absolutely still happening.
