I'm pretty sure someone has just released something like this. A handheld scanner that will tell you the calories/macros for your plate of food.

It was a one off cost of circa £150, then £15 or so a month ongoing.

Apologies but can't be arsed to find the link on mobile.

Was it this miniature near-infrared spectrometer?

Also found this plate with 3 scales and cameras that uses object recognition algorithms to identify food:
