# Food Nutrients: A Macronutrients Dataset

`food_nutrients` is a dataset of visual and nutritional data for ~3k realistic plates of food captured from Google cafeterias using a custom scanning rig.

This dataset provides annotated pictures of food plates along with **calories**, **macronutrients** (fat, carbohydrate, protein) for the total plate and **for every ingredient** as well.

## Source

This data was taken from Google Research's dataset [Nutrition5k](https://github.com/google-research-datasets/Nutrition5k). It's cleaned up and filtered, because this dataset had many issues such as missing images or missing calorie information for certain samples. That's why this dataset is a bit smaller than 5k samples.
