Regular measurement and maintenance of calorie count of body is very essential and important for healthy living. Calorie count of body changes with change occurring in weight and height measurement. High body calories is a way to many diseases and disorders. Proper calorie count and nutritional value can be maintained by intake of healthy food. Keeping the knowledge of calories and nutritional value of each food item is a difficult task. Use of the emerging and rapidly growing smart phone technology for health maintenance can proved to be a great combination with outstanding results. The paper describes the system developed for food identification and calorie recognition, which also shows whether the given fruits and vegetables are fresh or not. Users can use the system with the help of developed android application on their smart phones. The system is trained and tested on the set of different food images to calculate its efficiency and accuracy. The results obtained proved that the system is accurate in recognizing the food item and showing its calorie contents. Also, the android application set the BMI value and depending on that give the daily calorie limit, which can be maintained by consuming the healthy food.
