Dietary decisions can help
people to make a healthier lifestyle. We can observe and measure our
daily diet data and make conclusions based upon them. Food pigments have
been linked to various beneficial health effects in the human body.
This paper presents an android based mobile health application named
FoodByte to track people's diets. The goal is to collect daily dietary
consumption meal images using a mobile camera and keep the data to a
remote server so later it can be used to analyze. Based on the data of
images and user's feedback of different questionnaires research was
conducted to find the effects of food pigments on human health. Here we
compared four dominant colors and showed that the overall healthiness of
the meal is reflected by the dominant color. Our research shows that
yellow and red color foods are best rated for taste whereas brown color
foods are considered to cause bloating and gassiness. On the other hand,
foods with red and yellow colors are the reason behind indigestion and
heartburn can occur due to red color food. According to the results, it
is clear that the foods that are yellow are the least harmful and good
for health with an average value of 1.6. However, the ANOV A result
indicates that after taking meal gas is considered to be statistically
significant with a p-value of 0.0375.
