Teens using AI meal plans could be eating too few calories — equivalent to skipping a meal (www.frontiersin.org)

Can AI tools make meal plans that help us lose weight the right way? In a new study, a team of researchers compared AI’s meal planning abilities to those of a dietician. The results showed that AI-made meal plans – when compared to dietician plans – severely undercalculated the needed amount of calories and macronutrients like carbs and overemphasized other macronutrients like proteins and lipids. The team cautioned that teens should not solely rely on AI to make meal plans for weight loss, saying that the consistent deviation of five different AI models from nutritional guidelines recommended by health organizations could have negative effects on growing bodies.

You're confidently incorrect. You don't need to eat carbohydrates to break down fat and protein, and a diet consisting of healthy proteins and fat has not been proven to cause kidney failure.

Actually.... High protein diets can cause de novo kidney disease. De novo means it's causal, from the new. Out of nowhere! Not even with pre-existing conditions, although if you have those pre-existing conditions then this applies even more.

I'm not aware of any direct links to kidney disease from dietary fat. But extremely high protein has strong causal links to de novo (along with comorbidities) kidney disease.

I'm not suggesting that you overdose on protein, if you're referring to rabbit starvation. If you aren't, would you care to provide more information?
