Calories

Calories in restaurant dishes, by cuisine.

Typical numbers for the dishes people order out — one rough figure, the range a real restaurant portion lands in, and what pushes it up or down.

Calories

Dishes by cuisine

Restaurant portions vary a lot from place to place, and so do the calories in them. Every dish page gives one typical number for a normal restaurant serving, the usual low-to-high range, protein, carbs and fat in grams, and the things that move it most: the oil, the sauce, the rice, the size of the plate.

The figures are estimates built from published food composition tables and typical portions, and every page lists its sources and the day it was last reviewed. They are a rough guide for curious eaters, not medical advice; for that, talk to a doctor or a dietitian.

Reading the numbers

In PlateDiary

A rough number for the dishes you save — only if you want one.

Off unless you turn them on

Calories in PlateDiary are off unless you turn them on. Switch them on and, when PlateDiary AI reads your photo of the table, each dish gets one rough “~” number. Accept it or change it; a number you correct is remembered for that dish. With Calories off, the app looks exactly as it did before.

A read sends small pictures of the cut-out dishes, with the place's name as a hint — never the table photo, faces or your location. Calorie numbers never go to analytics, and nothing is written to a health app. PlateDiary AI starts with free tries; here is how it works.

Questions

Questions people ask.

How accurate are restaurant calorie estimates?

Rough at best. The same dish can differ by hundreds of calories between kitchens, mostly from oil, sauce and portion size, which is why each page gives a range as well as a typical number.

Why do restaurant dishes have more calories than home cooking?

Restaurants tend to use more oil, butter, sugar and salt, and serve bigger portions, because those make food taste rich and look generous.

Where do these numbers come from?

From public food composition tables and typical restaurant portions. Each dish page names its sources and the date it was last reviewed.

Does PlateDiary count calories?

Only if you want it to. Calories in PlateDiary are off unless you turn them on; then each dish you save can carry one rough “~” number you accept or change, and nothing is written to a health app.
