More than 100 small meals and snacks. Each is about 350 kcal or less and has at least 15 g of protein, built from USDA foods and shown in cups, ounces and spoons.

Questions
Is this medical advice?
No. Smallplate is for general information and tracking. Check your protein target with your doctor, especially if you have kidney disease.
How is my protein target worked out?
By default it is 1.2 g of protein per kg of body weight a day, the low end of the higher targets a published advisory mentions for people losing weight. You can change it to anything. The sources page has the quotes and links.
Do I need an account?
No. Your entries are saved only in your browser on your phone. Nothing is sent to a server. You can export or delete everything in Settings.
Does it count calories?
No budget and no red numbers. Protein is the one number that matters here. Meals show their calories for information, so you can see they are small.
Does it work on my iPhone?
Yes. Open it in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. After your first visit it also opens offline.
Does it work with my medication?
Smallplate does not connect to, track or give advice about any medication. It helps you track protein and find small meals, whatever your day looks like.
What happens after the free trial?
Payments are not open yet. When they open, Plus will be $7.99 a month or $29 a year after a 7-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime. Everything in the free plan stays free.
