  • Abstract
    We verified the accuracy of a website that supports health by calculating nutritive value according to the selection of a food name. As a result, since the error in the quantity of fat or salt was large, it became clear that it is not suitable for those who need strict meal control. However, such a system is useful to help users identify dietary tendencies and improve eating habits.
