The dish

About a poke bowl

A poke bowl is cubes of raw tuna in a soy and sesame sauce over sushi rice, with toppings like avocado and edamame. The fish is lean; the rice, the oily sauce and creamy toppings decide where the bowl lands. Built from its parts: raw ahi tuna, sushi rice, a soy, sesame oil and honey sauce, avocado, cucumber and edamame — from USDA 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.
