Hi Fast AI Community!

I created Estimate Body Fat - https://www.estimatebodyfat.com/, an AI Body Fat Calculator using the ResNet 50 from Fast AI’s Lesson 2 and own Haar Cascades (for upper body identification).

The reason for creating my own haar cascades was to be able to distinguish between the different sexes. I now truly understand how AI can be ethically challenging firsthand as my first few haar cascades were unable to recognize people from certain ethnicities. Yikes!!! But not to worry, I was able to solve this issue.

To get your body fat percentage, all you need to do is upload a picture like the instructions described. After getting your body fat percentage, you also get tips on how you can lose the fat you don’t need ad a lot more useful information on diet and lifestyle.

I personally began my fat loss journey this year and created this application as to way to keep track of all my progress and motivate myself. Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions.
