The paper presents a framework that enhances single-image nutrition estimation by using multimodal large language models to inventory visible foods and verify both food identity and the suitability of proposed 2D regions for portion estimation. A whole-image review identifies gaps and triggers a single targeted recovery pass, after which recovered regions are re-verified and reconciled into a final item set. The approach, which requires no task-specific fine-tuning, improves item-level grounding, mass accuracy, energy accuracy, and item-identity precision and recall compared to a retrieval baseline.
