MacroTracker AI Image Processing with RAG Implementation Plan

Overview

This development plan outlines the tasks required to implement an enhanced AI image processing feature for MacroTracker that will identify food items from images and retrieve nutritional information (calories, proteins, fats, carbs) using RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) with the application's database.
