Mark 1 places a camera above the kitchen counter. As each plate is assembled, the camera identifies every ingredient that goes on, including the butter, oil, garnishes, and seasonings a printed recipe never mentions. A checkerboard square on the counter gives the system a fixed reference for scale, so it estimates the weight of each item. That data is attached to the diner's order. When a dish is finished, its full nutrient breakdow, carbs, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, lands in the user's personal log automatically. No manual logging, no food diary. After a few meals, the app notices which nutrients are regularly too low and sends a straightforward suggestion. It might point to a specific menu item at a restaurant nearby, or something simple like "grab a banana for potassium." The same camera setup works in school canteens, hospitals, and care homes. Parents see what their child was actually served. Caretakers track what a resident ate, even when that person can't report it themselves.
