Snap a Photo, Get a Diet Score: Ant Afu's AI Nutritionist and 100 Million Eggs

Ever wonder if your lunch is actually healthy? Now you can just take a picture and find out. On September 16, Ant Afu launched an "AI Diet Score" feature: snap a photo of your meal, and the AI identifies the food, calculates nutrition and calories, and gives you an easy-to-understand score. To sweeten the deal, Ant Afu announced that its "Scientific Weight Loss of 100 Million Jins" campaign will hand out 100 million eggs. Simply keep using the AI to photograph your meals, and you can get eggs for just one cent.

Your Personal Nutritionist, No Appointment Needed

The AI diet score is based on the "Reasonable Dietary Index" from the Chinese Nutrition Society, which Afu co-developed with the society's expert group. Before you eat, take a photo. The AI identifies the dish components, analyzes the ratio of carbs, proteins, fats, and dietary fiber, checks if your oil, salt, and sugar intake exceeds standards, and flags high-purine or high-sugar foods.

A journalist tested it with a work meal of two meat dishes and one vegetable. The system gave an 81: it confirmed sufficient protein and variety, but pointed out sodium was clearly too high and noted "high oil and considerable sugar." It suggested swapping the drink for unsweetened tea and, for taste, "try something lighter tomorrow."

"We want to give every user an accessible personal nutritionist," said the product manager. The feature tailors scores and advice based on your BMI, exercise intensity, and personal needs. For dieters, it tracks calories across meals, pairs with weight data, and offers diet and exercise tips—avoiding extreme methods. For those with hypertension or diabetes, it helps steer clear of high-oil, high-sugar, high-salt foods, promoting stable blood sugar, pressure, and lipids. Families with pregnant women, babies, or the elderly get stage-specific nutrition references—what to eat more of, what to avoid, all backed by science. Before ordering takeout or buying snacks, snap a photo to know the calories. When you stumble on dubious health advice online, ask Afu to avoid pitfalls.

100 Million Eggs: Eat Well, Win Rewards

To encourage real, long-term meal tracking, Afu upgraded the "Scientific Weight Loss of 100 Million Jins" incentives with 100 million eggs. Users who photograph three meals for three consecutive days and generate a diet score unlock a surprise drop-in to get eggs for one cent. The healthier and more consistent you are, the higher your chances.

Public data shows that since June, Ant Afu's campaign has released one-cent body fat scales, upgraded AI meal photography, and connected with Xiaomi and Huawei scales. By early September, over 2.75 million users had weighed in and logged, losing over 5 million jins total. Those who combined AI diet tracking lost twice as much on average. More than 80,000 users have moved their overweight or obese indicators into normal ranges through scientific diets, regular sleep, and moderate exercise.
