AI Meal Recommendations
PlateMate's AI rates every dish from 0 to 100 against your calorie and macro targets and shows you exactly why. No generic advice. No searching nutrition facts at the table.
Meal Builder
Swap the bun. Add protein. Sub rice for greens. Macros update live as you build, and your creation saves for next time.
Allergen Protection
Keto, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and more. Every item that conflicts with your profile is flagged automatically.
From daily targets to the exact burger customization that fits your cut: here's what eating out with PlateMate looks like.
Tell PlateMate whether you're cutting, bulking, or maintaining. It calculates precise daily calorie and macro targets from your profile using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then ranks every dish against them.
You'll see exactly why each meal was recommended and how it fits your remaining budget for the day.
Three steps from "what should I eat here?" to ordering with total confidence.
Whether you're cutting, bulking, or maintaining, PlateMate calculates precise calorie and macro targets from your age, height, weight, and goal.
Every menu item is ranked and scored in seconds, with full calories, protein, carbs, and fat for chains and local spots alike.
Customize your meal in the Meal Builder, check allergen flags, and walk in knowing exactly what fits your plan.
PlateMate is best for iPhone users who want a personalized restaurant meal recommendation before ordering. It is especially useful when you track calories or macros, prioritize protein, have a weight goal, or need dietary filters at both chains and local restaurants.
