About Calorie Estimates

The standard

Every dish is measured the same way: calories per 500 g of the finished dish, including main ingredients, extras and cooking oil, weighed as plated. For example, "Red-Braised Pork Belly about 1950 kcal" means 500 g of the finished dish contains about 1950 kcal.

Data source

The AI estimates from common values in the China Food Composition Tables (Standard Edition) and a typical home-style recipe, rounded to the nearest 10 kcal.

Totals in today's menu

The total in today's menu adds up each dish at 500 g; per person is the total divided by the number of diners. Estimate what you actually eat from your own portion.
