What the numbers mean
A single restaurant bandeja paisa carries 1,418 kcal, more than nine other classic plates combined per serving. A plain arepa sits at 133 kcal, an empanada at 168 kcal, and a patacon at just 94 kcal. Portion size is what turns a light snack into a heavy meal, which is exactly what this lookup makes visible.

Frequently asked questions
Where do these calorie numbers come from?▼
Each dish links to its published source under the result, drawn from the Fitia LATAM Nutrition Database, SnapCalorie, FatSecret, and MyNetDiary. Figures are informative and can vary with the exact preparation.
Why do some dishes show calories but no macros?▼
We only show a macro when the source reports it. When a source lists calories without a full protein, carbohydrate, and fat breakdown, the result shows the calories alone rather than estimated values.
Can I use it without downloading the app?▼
Yes. The lookup is free and runs in your browser. The Comi AI mobile app is optional and reads more than 19,000 foods from a single photo instead of a manual search.
