About frozen yogurt

Self-serve froyo is soft-serve frozen yogurt you pull yourself and pay for by weight, so the cup size decides most of it. Plain vanilla soft serve is about 160 per 100 g, lighter than vanilla ice cream at about 210, but a medium cup holds far more than a scoop, and candy or sauce toppings pile on.

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.
