Researchers from several domains have presented several models addressing issues influencing food choice over the years. However, a multidisciplinary approach is required to better understand how various aspects interact with one another during the decision-making procedure. In this paper, four Deep Learning (DL) models and one Machine Learning (ML) model are utilized to predict the weight in pounds based on food choices. The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model, stacked-LSTM model, Conventional Neural Network (CNN) model, and CNN-LSTM model are the used deep learning models. While the applied ML model is the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) regressor. The efficiency of the proposed model was determined based on the error rate obtained from the experimental results. The findings indicated that Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is 0.0087, the Mean Square Error (MSE) is 0.00011, the Median Absolute Error (MedAE) is 0.006, the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is 0.011, and the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) is 21. Therefore, the results demonstrated that the stacked LSTM achieved improved results compared with the LSTM, CNN, CNN-LSTM, and KNN regressor.}, DOI = {10.32604/csse.2023.034324} }
