Eat out vs in
The visitor picks a menu dish and builds a home plate, then types what they would pay out and what the ingredients cost. The tool shows both totals. The price is theirs.
Put two options side by side. The page ranks them on the numbers you entered or on the food table.
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 a dish, a home plate and two prices. Computation sums both tables. Output is a side-by-side.
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.

The menu page has the rest of that chain. The home foods have calorie pages. The bridge is the menu, because that is the decision they are about to pay for.
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 does this tool stop?
restaurant-menus lists chains. eatoutin compares one dish with a home plate the visitor builds, on energy and on a price they type.
