<span style="font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Accurate nutrition estimation helps people make informed dietary choices and is essential in the prevention of serious health complications. We present NutriBench,
the first publicly available natural language meal description nutrition benchmark. NutriBench consists of 11,857 meal descriptions generated from real-world global dietary intake data. The data is human-verified and annotated with macro-nutrient labels, including
carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and calories. We conduct an extensive evaluation of NutriBench on the task of carbohydrate estimation, and discover that our best developed LLMs can provide comparable but significantly faster estimates compared to human dietitians.
Finally, we perform a real-world risk assessment by simulating the effect of carbohydrate predictions on the blood glucose levels of individuals with diabetes. Our work highlights the opportunities and challenges of using LLMs for nutrition estimation, demonstrating
their potential to aid professionals and laypersons and improve health outcomes.</span></p>

Santa Barbara. She is also the co-Director of the REAL AI for Science initiative at UCSB and a Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind. She obtained her Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC San Diego, working on improving AI robustness and safety. Recently,
her research is focusing on developing trustworthy models for diabetes care, including nutrition estimation, exercise, and closed-loop Automated Insulin Delivery systems. She has over 40 publications in top-tier AI conferences and journals and was recognized
as a Rising Star in EECS by MIT in 2020. Her work on diabetes has been awarded the American Diabetes Association Early Career Abstract Award, 2025 and is currently undergoing FDA clearance.</span></p>
