Abstract - The twentieth century saw a change in nutrition, with the adoption of an individual approach based on personal needs and preferences as the basis for improving health. Advances in technology, particularly the emerging capabilities of machine learning and artificial intelligence, are driving the evolution of personalized nutritional recommendations. This research is a study on machine learning integration and technology analysis for an online platform aimed at providing quality food service and catering. This article covers the importance of personalized nutrition, the role of machine learning algorithms, current applications, challenges and ethics. It explores many topics such as issues and hope for the future in this environment. This project explores the use of machine learning algorithms in online platforms based on personalized nutritional advice, nutritional analysis, and meal planning. This article discusses the challenges, advantages, and ethical considerations of using machine learning in this field, highlighting its potential to transform personal culture. The aim is to develop web based application that estimates food attributes such as ingredients and nutritional value by classifying the input image of food. This method uses deep learning model to identify food accurately and uses the food APIs to give the nutritional value of the identified food.
