About Thai green curry with rice

Green curry is chicken and vegetables simmered in coconut milk with green chili paste. The coconut milk is the big one — it carries most of the fat — while the jasmine rice adds most of the carbs. Built from its parts: chicken thigh, coconut milk, green curry paste, eggplant, snow peas and basil with jasmine rice — from USDA, UK CoFID and FNRI 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.
