BiteKit automatically tags your meals for diet compatibility. Track what you eat, know instantly if it fits your diet, and stay on track with your nutritional goals.
Different diets have different rules about what you can and cannot eat. Understanding these rules helps you make informed choices and stay compliant with your dietary goals.
The ketogenic diet limits carbs to 20-50g per day to achieve ketosis. Avoid sugars, grains, starchy vegetables, and most fruits. Focus on healthy fats, proteins, and low-carb vegetables.
Veganism excludes all animal products including meat, fish, dairy, eggs, and honey. Watch for hidden animal ingredients like gelatin, whey, casein, and certain food colorings.
The paleo diet mimics what our ancestors ate. Avoid grains, legumes, dairy, refined sugar, and processed foods. Focus on meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds.
A gluten-free diet eliminates wheat, barley, rye, and their derivatives. Essential for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. Watch for hidden gluten in sauces and processed foods.
Even experienced dieters can make mistakes. Here are common pitfalls to watch out for when following restrictive diets:
Many foods contain hidden ingredients that violate diet rules. Sauces often have sugar or gluten, restaurant dishes may use butter, and packaged foods can contain dairy derivatives.
Natural does not mean diet-compliant. Honey is natural but not vegan or Whole30 approved. Potatoes are natural but not keto-friendly. Always check specific diet rules.
Packaged foods may contain surprising ingredients. Wheat can be in soy sauce, dairy in bread, and sugar in everything from ketchup to salad dressings.
Beverages count too. Beer contains gluten, most cocktails have sugar, and many plant milks have additives. Even coffee drinks can be problematic with added syrups and dairy.
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about food and diet compatibility:
Is pizza keto-friendly?
Traditional pizza is not keto due to the high-carb crust. However, you can make keto pizza with cauliflower crust, fathead dough, or eat just the toppings.
Is honey vegan?
No, honey is not vegan as it is produced by bees. Vegan alternatives include agave nectar, maple syrup, and date syrup.
Is oatmeal gluten-free?
Pure oats are gluten-free, but most oatmeal is cross-contaminated with gluten during processing. Look for certified gluten-free oats if you have celiac disease.
Is rice paleo?
No, rice is not paleo as it is a grain. The paleo diet excludes all grains. Try cauliflower rice as a paleo-friendly alternative.
Is Greek yogurt Whole30?
No, dairy products including Greek yogurt are not allowed on Whole30. Try coconut yogurt (without added sugar) as an alternative.
Eating at restaurants while following a diet can be challenging. Here are strategies to stay on track:
Check the restaurant menu online before going. Many restaurants list allergens and dietary options. Use our tool to check dishes beforehand.
Do not be afraid to ask your server about ingredients and preparation methods. Most restaurants are happy to accommodate dietary needs.
Many dishes can be made diet-compliant with simple changes: skip the croutons, dressing on the side, grilled instead of fried, no cheese.
Simpler dishes are easier to verify. Grilled protein with vegetables is usually safe across most diets with minor modifications.
Our AI analyzes the ingredients in your food and compares them against the rules of each selected diet. It identifies problematic ingredients and provides a compatibility status with explanations and modification tips.
You can check against 11 popular diets: Keto/Low-Carb, Vegan, Vegetarian, Paleo, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Whole30, Mediterranean, Low-Sodium, Low-Fat, and Pescatarian.
Yes! Select multiple diets to check your food against all of them simultaneously. This is perfect for combination diets like gluten-free and dairy-free, or keto and paleo.
This means the food can fit your diet with certain changes. For example, a salad might be keto-compatible if you skip the croutons. We provide specific tips for making these modifications.
Our AI uses comprehensive knowledge of ingredients and diet rules. For packaged foods, always verify with the label. For restaurant meals, ask about specific ingredients and preparation.
Absolutely! Enter any food description - simple ingredients, complex recipes, or full restaurant dishes. The more specific you are, the more accurate the analysis will be.
