Any cuisine

Count calories in any cuisine, from bibimbap to biryani

Log meals from any cuisine with a photo or your voice, including mixed bowls, curries, stews, sauces, and the share of dishes you ate at the table.

What you can do

BiteCheck is not tied to one cuisine or food database. It estimates calories and macros from a photo, a spoken description, or text, so a ramen bowl, a curry, tacos, or a home-cooked family recipe can be logged the same way. For mixed and shared dishes, describe what you ate and how much of it.

Built for the meals databases miss

Food databases are strongest for packaged foods and familiar Western dishes. Many meals are harder: mixed bowls, curries and stews, street food, and family recipes that have no label. BiteCheck works from what is on the plate and what you tell it.

  • Mixed bowls such as bibimbap, poke, or burrito bowls
  • Curries, stews, and soups, from dal to pho
  • Sauces and oils such as gochujang, coconut milk, tahini, or ghee
  • Street food and restaurant dishes without a nutrition label

Shared plates: log your part of the table

Korean banchan, mezze, tapas, hot pot, or a family-style dinner rarely fit one photo. Say how much you actually ate, for example: "A few pieces of Korean barbecue, a bowl of rice, and two spoonfuls of each banchan" or "Half a portion of chicken curry, one naan, and some raita." Portions, oil, and sauces give the estimate the context a photo misses.

Frequently asked questions

Does BiteCheck work for non-Western food?

Yes. BiteCheck estimates calories and macros from a photo or a description of the meal, so it is not limited to the dishes in a food database. You can review and adjust every estimate.

How do I log shared dishes?

Describe the share you ate by voice or text, for example a few spoonfuls of each side dish or half a portion of a curry. Adding portions makes the estimate reflect your part of the table.
