A bowl of phở changes with the restaurant, the noodles and the cut of beef. FitArchive does not treat a dish name as one fixed number. Each catalogue dish starts with a reference recipe made of individual ingredients. Choose a size, then adjust the parts supported by that dish.
Two examples from the actual catalogue
These tables come directly from the FitArchive catalogue when this page is built. Grams describe the ingredients as used in the recipe, rather than a raw-ingredient shopping list. Calories and protein are rounded for readability.

What changes with less noodles and more beef?
In the app, “less” halves that ingredient and “more” multiplies it by 1.5. For the regular phở above, less noodles changes 200 g to 100 g; more beef changes 80 g to 120 g. Broth, onions and sprouts stay the same.
That adjusted portion has an estimated total of 373.1 kcal and 47.5 g protein. This shows how the app changes a recipe, rather than measuring the bowl in front of you.
Log the meal in FitArchive
- Open Food, choose a meal and search for the dish, such as “phở bò” or “bánh mì thịt”.
- Pick the entry that matches the preparation. Choose a portion size and less/more for the supported ingredients.
- Check the portion, calories and macros before saving. Log drinks, sauces or sides separately when they are not already in the recipe.
- Next time, use recent foods or meal copying where available on your device, then adjust for what you actually ate.
Free search, with AI as a separate option
Food search and manual logging do not require a paid plan. On iPhone and Android, paid plans can draft a meal from text or a photo after separate permission; you review and confirm it before saving. AI meal drafts are separate from the catalogue recipe calculations shown above. See how AI assistant connections work with FitArchive.
What the numbers cannot tell you
Oil, sugar, sauces, cuts of meat and how much broth you drink all change the result. A reference recipe is not a restaurant nutrition label, and a photo cannot measure every ingredient. Log consistently, adjust what you know about the portion and treat the number as an estimate.
