Meal plans short on calories, protein, fats, carbs
The AI-generated meal plans were short on calories, protein, fats, and carbs compared to what real dietitians recommend, sometimes by a lot.
Micronutrients like vitamins and minerals were also all over the place, which could lead to health issues like stunted growth or hormonal problems if followed over the long term.
Experts say these findings are a big reminder: AI isn't ready to replace professional advice when it comes to teen nutrition.
The researchers are calling for better algorithms so future chatbots can give healthier, more accurate meal guidance for young people.
