Subject matter directed to providing dietary and nutritional information, such as portion-size recommendations, portion-selection guidance, and portion-selection feedback includes various components. For instance, a request for dietary and nutritional information of a food item is received and an image is obtained that depicts the food item. A recommended portion size is determined based on various factors, such as food caloric value and a user profile. Based on the recommended portion size, a visual indicia or graphic is created that overlays the image when the image is displayed on a client device (e.g., smart phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, and the like) and that visual indicates how much of the food item in the image is recommended to be consumed. Other information can also be provided, such as alternative-food recommendations, interactive avatar feedback, and feedback as to how a portion selection compares to a group of users. |
