Although there are applications on the market that already allow users to register their meals, as is the case with MyFitnessPal, the difference of SmartPlate is that it collects these details automatically.

Another curiosity is that the application is so functional that it impressively differentiates between brown bread and white bread, for example, as well as white rice from brown rice, etc.
