About a matcha latte

A matcha latte is powdered green tea whisked with a little water and topped with steamed or iced milk. The tea itself is a few calories; almost everything comes from the milk and whatever sweetener goes in. Built from its parts: about 13 fl oz of 2% milk, a teaspoon of matcha and a sweetener syrup — from USDA and Japanese food table values.

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.
