For your liver · Updated October 2026
A food journal for a fatty liver diet
US guidance on a fatty liver diet starts with drinks: cut the sweet ones. One 16 oz iced matcha latte carries an estimated 14 g of added sugar. Tell Cloche what you ate or drank, or take a photo. It estimates the added sugar, alcohol and saturated fat.
- Best for

Estimated added sugar · 14 g sugar
Which drinks carry the most sugar?
Extra sugar is what the liver turns into fat when there is more of it than the body burns. A glass is the easiest way to take on a day’s worth without a meal. These are the drinks in Cloche’s food data with the most added sugar, next to the 20 g the demo compares against for a day. Recipes and sizes vary.
| Drink | Portion | Estimated added sugar | Of 20 g reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iced Matcha Latte | 16 oz, with milk | 14 g | 68% |
| Smoothie | 16 oz | 7.7 g | 39% |
| Beer | 12 oz | 0 g | 0% |
| Latte | medium, 12 oz | 0 g | 0% |
| Double Espresso | 2 shots | 0 g | 0% |
| Green Tea | 1 cup | 0 g | 0% |
Cloche counts added sugar, so the syrup in a mocha counts and the fruit blended into a smoothie does not. These amounts are not measurements of your drink.
What does the guidance ask you to change first?
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases starts with drinks. Cut the ones carrying large amounts of simple sugar, fructose above all: sweetened soft drinks, sports drinks, sweetened tea and juice. Then it asks for unsaturated fat in place of saturated, and more low-glycemic food: most fruit, vegetables and whole grains.
Cloche reads a plate or a glass against 20 g of added sugar, 14 g of alcohol, 20 g of saturated fat and 28 g of fiber a day. Those are references for reading a meal, not targets set for you.
Weight and any medicine belong in a conversation with your clinician. So does the scan or the blood test that started this. Cloche helps you read the food record between those visits.
Does one glass of wine count for a fatty liver?
Yes, and Cloche counts it. Alcohol is the other thing the liver turns into fat. The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases says drinking can push fatty liver disease along, and it asks doctors to count every patient’s alcohol.
The demo reads a 5 oz glass of red wine at an estimated 16 g of alcohol and a 12 oz beer at 14 g. One US standard drink is 14 g, so either one is about a drink. Cloche writes it under the glass and adds it to the day, next to the sugar.
Say what you ate and drank. Cloche reads the sugar against your day.
If searching for every ingredient keeps you from logging meals, start with a sentence. Say “iced matcha latte,” or take a photo. Cloche creates an entry you can review and correct, drinks included. Most food logs skip those.
See estimated calories, protein, carbs, fat and 26 nutrients, including sugar and saturated fat. A tracker would add the glass to a total. Cloche reads it for your liver as it lands, then answers questions about the week’s drinks. We check the estimates against USDA reference foods. They remain estimates.
Your doctor may be watching more than one number. Cloche reads the same plate for gout and blood sugar as well.
To check one meal right now, without the app, try the free added sugar calculator or the standard drink calculator.

An estimate of the meal. No cleanse, no diagnosis.
Cloche describes the food you log and estimates its nutrients. No food cleanses a liver, nothing here promises a number will move, and the app never tells you what you have.
The enzymes on your blood test, a scan and any medicine belong in a conversation with your clinician. Cloche does not ask about your medication.
