Abstract

(1) Background: Nutritional intake is fundamental to human growth and health, and the intake of different types of nutrients and micronutrients can affect health. The content of the diet affects the occurrence of disease, with the incidence of many diseases increasing each year while the age group at which they occur is gradually decreasing. (2) Methods: An artificial intelligence model for precision nutritional analysis allows the user to enter the name and serving size of a dish to assess a total of 24 nutrients. A total of two AI models, including semantic and nutritional analysis models, were integrated into the Precision Nutritional Analysis. A total of five different algorithms were used to identify the most similar recipes and to determine differences in text using cosine similarity. (3) Results: This study developed two models to form a precision nutrient analysis model. The 2013–2016 Taiwan National Nutrition Health Status Change Survey (NNHS) was used for model verification. The model’s accuracy was determined by comparing the results of the model with the NNHS. The results show that the AI model has very little error and can significantly improve the efficiency of the analysis. (4) Conclusions: This study proposed an Intelligence Precision Nutrient Analysis Model based on a digital data collection framework, where the nutrient intake was analyzed by entering dietary recall data. The AI model can be used as a reference for nutrition surveys and personal nutrition analysis.
