I used ChatGPT as FREE nutritionist to rate my diet & turbocharge my health – it found TWO hidden dangers in my meals
CHATGPT is more than just my pocket therapist - it's now my in-house dietician, too. Armed with photos of my lunches and dinners, the no-nonsense AI chatbot found two risky mistakes I was making with all my meals, which no doubt means thousands of others will be too. Advertisement 4 ChatGPT can spot all the ingredients on your plate with just a simple picture Credit: Alamy 4 The AI bot wasn't best pleased with Millie's meal of Shin instant ramen So how does it work? Just upload a simple snap of the plate in front of you (I use the ChatGPT smartphone app for ease), which it then scans to figure out what you're eating, and breaks it down to its nutritional contents. Even without a description, it uses its clever machine mind to work out exactly what's on your plate, forecast how many calories it has - and explain what the meal is missing, or has too much of. Advertisement Here's what I uploaded - and ChatGPT's analysis... Meal #1: Noodle time While not the healthiest meal in the world, a packet of Shin instant ramen is a go-to for me. With no description from myself, ChatGPT managed to spot all the ingredients, from the shredded cabbage that was going floppy in my fridge to the dehydrated vegetables that came with the noodles. It highlighted what was good about the meal, for example, how it was high in protein from the frozen prawns I'd added, and convenient due to the instant noodles. Then, it explained exactly how I could make my go-to grub healthier - for example, I could have added more vegetables for fibre, sesame oil for healthy fats and tofu for calcium. Advertisement It also suggested I use a low-sodium broth or seasoning, and swap out the instant noodles for soba, udon or rice noodles - which definitely would have squashed the 'convenience' part of this meal. If you tell ChatGPT your actual recipe or quantities, it can give you a more precise breakdown, too. I asked ChatGPT how to transform my bedroom in a single step - all I needed was a Homebase buy & now it's like paradise Meal #2: The Italian job 4 With this bowl of pasta, ChatGPT visually dissected the meal into two separate components: the pasta, and the bread. However, it made a slight calculation error: there were actually three small slices of bread, not two as it said. Advertisement If you notice ChatGPT make an error like this, simply correct it and it will give you an adjusted breakdown. The AI bot then gave me another set of strengths from the meal, such as that it was rich in healthy fats from the olive oil and nuts in pesto. It also contained But what I thought was a fairly healthy meal - made with homemade pesto, for goodness sakes - wasn't so much... ChatGPT revealed that it was "moderate to high" in sodium (salt) from the Parmesan, high in refined carbs and low in protein. Advertisement What you should ask ChatGPT: So you can get the same results, copy and paste my prompt into ChatGPT alongside a picture of your own meal: "Analyse this meal and provide a nutritional breakdown, including calories, macronutrients, and other key nutrients. "Then give me recommendations on what the meal is missing. Ie, not enough protein or too much sodium. Thank you!" If you upload several meals at once, everything you eat in one day for example, you can then ask ChatGPT to spot any common problems. Try this prompt: "Considering all of the meals above - please list all the positives and negatives they have in common." Image Credit: Alamy Meal #3: Chickening out 4 ChatGPT's clever AI brain can calculate the calories and nutritional content of each component of your plate. Take this plate of roast chicken, for example, which has sides of homemade fries, broccoli and a butter tarragon sauce. ChatGPT is able to estimate how much cholesterol is in the roast chicken and the quantity of sodium in the sauce It then provides a breakdown of the meal with all components combined. Advertisement ChatGPT gave me a minor applause for my admittedly small portion of healthy greens and home-prepared fries, which have lower trans fats than processed ones. It even noted that there was likely less sodium if the sauce was homemade. The brutal verdict… and 2 hidden dangers Taking a holistic look at three of my dinners over the past week, the AI bot warned me that my meals were all moderate to high in sodium - or salt, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. It said sodium was "likely elevated across all meals (from broth, pesto cheese, olives, sauces)" and recommended I use low-sodium broth alternatives and less Parmesan cheese. The advice ChatGPT gave me Protein Rating: Adequate Notes: Well done – maintain or slightly increase if active. Fibre Rating: Low Notes: Add legumes, more veg, whole grains. Sodium Rating: Moderate–High Notes: Use low-sodium broths and sauces. Fat Rating: Balanced, but some meals high in saturated fat Notes: Be mindful of frequency, balance with leaner meals. Vegetable Variety Rating: Limited (Present, but in a narrow range, minimal variety, or not in optimal balance) Notes: Add diversity – aim for 3–4 colours per plate if possible. Whole Grains Rating: Lacking (Significantly below recommended levels or nearly absent) Notes: Swap in whole wheat pasta, brown rice, grainy bread. The AI bot also recommended I taste my food before salting it - which I certainly don't do enough. Advertisement ChatGPT also cautioned that my fibre intake was low, which can cause constipation, which no one wants. It worked out that most of my meals have roughly 5g to 8g of fibre in them, below the ideal 10g to 15g per meal, and I was encouraged to eat more whole grains, legumes, and more varied portions of vegetables. ChatGPT even offered to design a meal to avert these mistakes - something lighter, higher in fibre, and low in sodium to "help round out [my] week's eating pattern". It's worth noting that the more information you give the bot, the more accurate its calculations will be. But if like me, you're time-poor and looking for simple, actionable snippets of advice, it's a great free tool. Advertisement Dangerous mistakes Let's take a look at what could happen if my diet doesn't change... A low-fibre diet - one without enough whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds - can lead to several health problems. That includes constipation, digestive issues, and increased risk of chronic diseases. Without enough fibre, the digestive process slows down. The gut's microbiome can be disrupted by killing off all the good bacteria, which could weaken my immune system. A high-fibre diet can also decrease my risk of bowel and colon cancer. Meanwhile, a high-sodium intake can lead to high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, kidney problems, and in extreme cases - brain damage. Over time, a sodium-heavy diet can potentially lead to an increased risk of dementia and stroke. Excess salt might also disrupt blood flow to the brain, damage blood vessels, and alter brainstem function - which can all lead to cognitive impairment. Image Credit: Getty

Pope Leo to make Italian teen first millennial saint in September
The canonisation of the first Catholic saint of the millennial generation, Carlo Acutis, will take place on 7 September, Pope Leo has announced. Carlo, a British-born Italian who died from leukaemia in 2006 at the age of 15, was originally set to be made a saint on 27 April but the event was suspended after the death of Pope Francis. Pope Leo announced the new date during a meeting with cardinals to discuss sainthood causes today. The pope did not say where the sainthood ceremony would be held, but canonisations are usually celebrated in St Peter's Square. Carlo's sainthood has drawn wide attention from young Catholics and is likely to bring tens of thousands of people to Rome. Acutis, sometimes referred to as "God's influencer", learned several computer coding languages before his death and built websites to spread his faith. His mother, Antonia Salzano, told Reuters in April that the heart of her son's appeal was that he lived the same life as others who were teenagers in the 2000s. "Carlo was an ordinary child like (others)," she said. "He used to play, to have friends, and to go to school. But his extraordinary quality was the fact that he opened the door of his heart to Jesus and put Jesus in first place in his life." Being made a saint indicates that the Church believes the person is now in Heaven with God. Sainthood causes are examined by a Vatican department that must confirm that a potential saint lived a holy life, and usually also involves the verification of two miracles attributed to the future saint's intercession with God in Heaven. Carlos is credited with the healing of a four-year-old Brazilian boy with a serious pancreatic malformation and of a 21-year-old Costa Rican woman who was near death after a bicycle accident. The parents of both individuals had prayed to Carlos for help, Church authorities said. During the 7 September ceremony, Pope Leo will also canonise Pier Giorgio Frassati, a young Italian man who was known for helping those in need and died of polio in the 1920s.

Defra: Badger TB vaccinations up 24% across England in 2024
In a significant drive to end the UK badger cull, tuberculosis (TB) vaccinations administered to badgers in England increased by almost a quarter to reach a record high in 2024, according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Defra said that 4,110 badgers were given the TB vaccine in England last year, an increase of 1,000 vaccinations in comparison to 2023. That is up 24% on vaccinations in 2023. The department added that a new Badger Vaccination Field Force is set to come into force next year in attempts to increase badger vaccination and drive down TB rates. The latest figures published by the department suggest there was a significant reduction in the culling of badgers in 2024 (down 12% compared to 2023), That brings the numbers down to half the amount culled during the peak of the policy. However, the department added that bovine TB (bTB) remains of the most challenging and costly animal diseases across the UK. According to Defra, bTB has led to the compulsory slaughtering of over 278,000 cattle and the culling of 230,000 badgers since 2013, costing taxpayers £100 million yearly. Positive outlook Minister of State at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) Daniel Zeichner said; ''Bovine tuberculosis has devastated British farmers and wildlife for far too long. 'It has placed dreadful hardship and stress on farmers who continue to suffer the loss of valued herds and has taken a terrible toll on our badger populations. 'We promised a comprehensive TB eradication package, which will allow us to end the badger cull by the end of this parliament, and that this what we are delivering – with today's figures showing the clear progress we are making.' UK chief veterinary officer (CVO), Dr. Christine Middlemiss said; 'Bovine tuberculosis is one of the most difficult and prolonged animal disease challenges we face, causing devastation for farming communities. 'The disease is on a very positive downward trajectory following years of hard work.' On going herd breakdown across the UK. Source ibTB The government announced their plans for this TB eradication programme last August in an attempt to end the badger cull across England and Wales. Since then, a substantial badger population survey took place in February, the first in over a decade. More surveying is scheduled later this year. As well as this, the government is field-trialling cattle vaccination against TB in areas of England and Wales where there is a low incidence of bTB, with the next phase set to take place this summer
