Why RiceCal

Made for how Asia eats

Other trackers ask you to weigh 180 g of cooked rice. RiceCal asks whether it was a bowl or a plate, and moves on.

Portions you recognise

One bowl, half a plate, two pieces with curry, five sticks. The portions people actually order.

Photo logging

Point at the plate. Every item gets named, the portion read as a weight, and anything can be fixed after.

A calmer tracker

Go over and RiceCal simply says so. It will nudge, never nag.
