The dish

About nasi gudeg

Gudeg is young jackfruit cooked for hours with palm sugar and coconut milk until sweet and brown. A full Yogyakarta plate adds chicken, egg, spicy krecek and areh coconut cream, which together outweigh the jackfruit itself. Built from its parts: rice, TKPI’s value for jackfruit gudeg, chicken in coconut sauce (TKPI’s kalio ayam stands in for opor), a braised egg, and the coconut milk in the krecek and areh — all from TKPI values. Krecek skin itself is not counted, so this leans low.

Ways it comes

One dish, a few numbers

Nasi gudeg (with sides) · rough numbers

  • Without rice~520
  • Without chicken~660

What moves the number

Why one plate is 550 and another 1,050

  • Areh, the thick coconut cream on top
  • Chicken and egg sides
  • Sambal goreng krecek, cooked in coconut milk
  • Palm sugar in the gudeg itself
  • Rice values differ between food tables (Indonesia’s TKPI lists cooked white rice at about 180 per 100 g) and portions vary, so the rice share here is rough

Ordering lighter

If you want a lighter plate

  • Ask for less areh
  • Pick egg or tofu over chicken
  • Ask for half rice

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.
