The dish

About sinigang na baboy

Sinigang is pork simmered in a sour tamarind broth with kangkong, radish, string beans, okra and taro. The vegetables and broth add little; nearly all of it comes from the pork, so belly versus ribs matters most. Built from its parts: pork belly and ribs, kangkong, radish, string beans, okra, tomato, taro and tamarind broth with patis — from FNRI values.

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.
