A calorie tracker built around Asian dishes, local serving conventions, and five ways to log a meal.

Why it surfaced

RiceCal replaces the usual 180-gram rice interrogation with portions such as one bowl, half a plate, or five sticks. It can search 48,000 Asian dishes, read a photographed plate, parse a meal described in ordinary language, scan packaged food, and save a shared home-cooked pot for repeated logging.
