Recent studies have shown that obese people are more likely to have serious health conditions such as hypertension, heart attack, type II diabetes, high cholesterol, breast and colon cancer, and breathing disorders. The main cause of obesity is the imbalance between the amount of food intake and energy consumed by the individuals. A Performance Study of Image Segmentation Techniques , in order to lose weight in a healthy way, as well as to maintain a healthy weight for normal people, the daily food intake must be measured . In fact, all existing obesity treatment techniques require the patient to record all food intakes per day in order to compare the food intake to consumed energy. But, in most cases, unfortunately patients face difficulties in estimating and measuring the amount of food intake due to the self-denial of the problem, lack of nutritional information, the manual process of writing down this information (which is tiresome and can be forgotten), and other reasons. We propose a food calorie and nutrition measurement system that can help patients and dietitians to measure and manage daily food intake. Our system is built on food image processing and uses nutritional fact tables.
