Can I track protein as well as calories?
Yes. PlateFit shows calories and protein for supported menu items and logged meals when that nutrition data is available.
A practical way to log a restaurant meal
Find a supported menu item
Browse restaurant menu information in PlateFit. An item may include calories, protein, a source link, and a confidence label when those details are available.
Choose the closest match to your order
Use the listed item when it matches, or describe the meal and review the resulting estimate. Photos and receipts can also help you capture what you ate.
Review before saving
Check the meal details before adding them to your food log. Your dashboard then shows logged calories and protein against your daily targets.
A food diary for more than restaurant meals
Eating out is only one part of a day. PlateFit also supports everyday meal logging, so your calorie and protein tracker can include meals from home, packed lunches, and food you describe.
The goal is context, not perfect numbers: use the available nutrition information, review estimates, and keep your daily targets visible as plans change.
Good to know: PlateFit’s menu coverage is not a promise that every restaurant or dish is listed. When an exact match is unavailable, review any estimate and confirm ingredients, portions, and allergens with the restaurant.
Questions about tracking food while eating out
Does PlateFit include every restaurant?
No. Restaurant and menu coverage varies. You can still describe a meal or use available photo and receipt capture, then review the estimate before logging it.
Are restaurant nutrition values exact?
Not always. Serving size, ingredients, and preparation can differ. Check the source and confidence label, and treat estimates as estimates.
