Plate cost
The visitor adds foods and types the price they paid. The tool totals money, energy and protein, then shows the price of 100 kcal and of 10 g of protein. The card is what they keep.
Enter the inputs. The page computes a result that did not exist as a static article.
This is a general-purpose tool, not medical, legal or financial advice. Figures are estimates from published food data or arithmetic. A qualified professional owns decisions that affect your health.
How to use it
Inputs are food picks and prices. Computation multiplies database energy and protein by the grams and divides by the price. Outputs are three ratios and a card.
Result
The tool runs in your browser. Nothing from the camera, microphone or sensors is uploaded. With JavaScript off, the worked example below is still computed on the server.
A worked example
A plate of chicken breast 150 g, rice 180 g and broccoli 100 g at 4.80 money units is 516 kcal and 54 g of protein. That is 0.93 per 100 kcal and 0.89 per 10 g of protein.
| Item | Grams | Energy (kcal) | Protein (g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken breast | 150 | 248 | 46.5 |
| White rice | 180 | 234 | 4.9 |
| Broccoli | 100 | 34 | 2.8 |
| Total | 430 | 516 | 54.2 |

The ratios are a reason to open the protein-cost guide, and the plate itself is worth logging where an account can keep it.
Keep the result in an account
TempoLife keeps food, movement and sleep in one private place, so this result can become part of a day instead of a one-off page.

Where is my data stored?
