Less guesswork.

The idea · Concept & build-day prototype

Good food.
Less guesswork.

ProteinPlate is a smart steamer plate on a scale that tells you exactly what food to add and how much to hit your protein and fiber goals, then steams the meal in one pot.

Many people know they should eat more protein and fiber. But counting, weighing, and planning takes time and energy they don’t have. This is hardest for people with chronic illness or fatigue, who often need good nutrition the most.

How it’s designed to work

Guide. Weigh. Steam.
A whole meal in one pot.

01 — Follow the screen

Know what goes in.

The touchscreen shows which food to add and how much: for example, 170 g chicken breast, 200 g sweet potato, and 150 g carrot.

02 — Weigh each portion

Watch it turn green.

The scale base weighs each portion live. A fill bar turns green when the amount is right, so you can leave the calculations to your plate.

03 — Lift, then steam

Your pot. A smarter plate.

Lift the stainless steamer plate off the base. Its folding feet hold the food above the boiling water, fitting standard 26–30 cm pots.

The guidance

The right portions.
The right timing.

Timed alerts tell you when to add faster-cooking vegetables. A temperature probe is designed to confirm the chicken reaches 74°C before the screen says the meal is ready.

Each meal’s protein and fiber are logged, and tomorrow’s portions adjust automatically to help you keep moving toward your goals.

Why I’m building this

Eating well shouldn’t
take all your energy.

I live with several autoimmune diseases. Eating the right balance of protein, fiber, and nutrients helped clear my cysts and fatigue and cut my body fat, but the planning and cooking were exhausting.

ProteinPlate removes the guesswork, so eating to your goals takes no math and no recipes, and anyone can cook a balanced meal in one pot.

Good nutrition should fit
the energy you have.

Built for busy, health-focused adults who want to hit their daily protein and fiber goals without counting or manually weighing portions — including people with autoimmune or chronic conditions, fatigue, or fitness goals. A simpler routine for lunch and dinner at home.

Beyond the build day

A plate today.
A more effortless kitchen tomorrow.

Now — The first step

ProteinPlate

Concept and build-day prototype: the scale base, guided-portion screen, and steamer plate design.

Next — Build & learn

Make it real. Together.

Build a working unit and test it with 10–20 users, including people with chronic conditions. Then add vitamin and mineral tracking.

The end goal

Whatever Cooker

Our longer-term vision: a fully automatic machine that washes, chops, and cooks raw ingredients into a balanced meal in 10 minutes.

What would help next

Help bring a better
daily ritual to life.

We’re looking for people and partners who can help take ProteinPlate from concept to a kitchen-ready product.

People & partners

Hardware & manufacturing

Food-safe, steam-resistant enclosure design and introductions to kitchenware manufacturers.

Nutrition & everyday use

A registered dietitian as an advisor and early test users.

Pre-seed funding

Support to build and test the first working units.

Our longer-term vision

Eat better.
Without trying.
