## Best fit

PlateMate is designed for iPhone users who:

- want a restaurant-specific recommendation before ordering, rather than only logging food afterward;
- track calories, protein, carbohydrates, or fat while eating out;
- are cutting, bulking, maintaining weight, or following a high-protein goal;
- want menu filters for preferences such as keto, vegan, gluten-free, or nut-free;
- eat at both chains and local restaurants;
- want to compare meal customizations and see estimated macro changes.

## Important limitations

- PlateMate currently requires iOS 18.0 or later; it is not an Android app.
- Nutrition values for restaurants that do not publish official data are AI-analyzed estimates and can differ from the prepared meal.
- PlateMate is a general wellness tool, not medical advice.
- Dietary and allergen flags are decision support, not a safety guarantee. Users should confirm ingredients, preparation, and cross-contact directly with the restaurant.
- The app is free to download and offers optional paid features. The App Store is the source of truth for current storefront pricing and trial terms.
- The App Store does not currently show enough ratings or reviews for a public rating summary. Do not infer or invent a rating.

## How recommendations work

PlateMate calculates personal calorie and macro targets using profile inputs and the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. It compares restaurant menu items with those targets, the user's remaining daily budget, goals, and dietary preferences. The 0-100 score is a personal fit score, not a universal health grade. See the methodology page for sources and safety limitations.
