How is this different from MyFitnessPal?
Most apps quote nutrients per 100 g, which nobody measures. This tool ships with portion sizes Indians actually use — 1 chapati, 1 katori, 1 piece — and dishes most global apps don't cover well: missi roti, kosha mangsho, puran poli, dal baati, mor kuzhambu, kerala parotta. Currently 309 foods across Bengali, Punjabi, Maharashtrian, Tamil, Kerala, Gujarati, Rajasthani, Hyderabadi and Indo-Chinese cuisines — growing.
Where does the data come from?
Approximate values per 100 g cooked, drawn from the Indian Food Composition Tables (IFCT 2017) by the National Institute of Nutrition and typical home-style recipes. Real values vary with oil, ghee and ratios — use this as a planning guide, not a medical reading. Diabetics should pair with their CGM/glucometer.
FAQ
Why count carbs in katoris not grams?
Indian portions don't come weighed. A katori, a chapati, a piece of dosa — these are how meals are actually served. Counting in 100g abstracts away how Indians eat. Our database has both.
How accurate are the carb counts?
Within ±10% for home-cooked. Restaurant portions vary widely — same biryani plate is 200g at one place, 350g at another. Use this as a directional planner, not a clinical measurement.
Where do the values come from?
Composite of NIN (National Institute of Nutrition) IFCT 2017 database, IndiaFoods.org, and lab tests for branded items. Updated when official tables release new values.
