One bowl or one roll as a street stall serves it. The broth is counted; how much of it you drink is up to you. These are estimates for general wellness, not medical or dietary advice.

Questions from Vietnam

Does RiceCal know Vietnamese food?

Yes. Phở, bún chả, bánh mì, cơm tấm, gỏi cuốn and bún bò Huế are in the catalogue with their Vietnamese names, diacritics and all.

How do I log a bowl of phở?

Photograph the bowl or write it down. Noodles, meat and broth are read as parts of the dish, and you can correct the portion afterwards.

What about Vietnamese iced coffee?

Cà phê sữa đá is in the catalogue with the condensed milk counted. It is one of the drinks people most often forget to log.
