Plate.Fit vs hiring a dietician
Short answer: a dietician gives you a person who knows you. Plate.Fit gives you a planned Indian day for PCOS, every day, between appointments or instead of starting with one.
Plate.Fit is not a replacement for a dietician when you need one. Many people use both.

What a dietician does better
- Real personal attention. A person listens, asks follow-up questions and notices what an app cannot.
- Judgement on complex cases. Several conditions, medicines, pregnancy plans or a history of disordered eating need a professional.
- Accountability. A scheduled check-in with someone who knows your name is motivating in a way an app is not.
- Reading your reports with you. They can relate your blood work to what you eat.
If your situation is complicated, or your doctor has asked you to see one, see a dietician.
Where Plate.Fit is different
- A daily plan, not an answer. Breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner for today, with portions, ready when you open the app.
- Indian food, one named condition. Plans are built for PCOS on dal, sabzi, roti, millets, curd and paneer, not a generic calorie list.
- Reviewed by a registered dietician. The approach behind the plans is reviewed by Dt. Falguni Shah, RD.
- A weekly PDF for your gynaecologist. What you planned and what you logged, in one page you can hand over at your next visit.
A consultation usually gives you a chart to follow until the next visit. Plate.Fit changes the meals every day, so the plan does not go stale after the first week.

Can Plate.Fit replace my dietician?
Not if you need personal care. Plate.Fit plans meals; it does not diagnose or treat anything.
If you already see a dietician, Plate.Fit can fill the days between visits, and the weekly PDF gives them a clear record of what you ate.
Who reviews Plate.Fit’s plans?
The approach and the food rules behind the plans are reviewed by Dt. Falguni Shah, a registered dietician. Daily plans are generated within those rules; she does not review each person’s plan one by one.
When should I see a dietician instead?
When you have more than one condition, take several medicines, are pregnant or planning to be, or your doctor asks you to. Then a person is the right first step.
