Indeed, around 2019 I was reading many computer vision papers for volume estimation and came across a few that tried to estimate the weight of the meals from pictures using the size of known objects (cutlery beside the plate). The idea was good but they were very far from accurate and not robust at all, and that was just for the weight, not even carb counting. I know CV is a fast moving field but I wouldn't bet that the tech has improved enough to be anywhere near medically safe.
