Track calories in Indian meals
Take one photo of your plate, and KiloCare estimates the calories, protein, carbs and fibre in each food.
Take a photo of your plate. You’ll see each food and its calories.
See the calories in your meal
Use a photo or type your foods.
Why track calories and nutrients?
- Know what you’re eating. See the calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre in every food on your plate.
- Made for Indian meals. It counts dal, rice, roti and sabzi separately.
- See what each meal adds up to. Each meal shows its total calories, so you can compare one meal with the next.
- Easier talks with your doctor or dietitian. Open your meal history and show them what you ate this week. You don’t have to remember it.
- Free during the beta. Log as many meals as you like.
On WhatsApp
- Open the KiloCare chat on WhatsApp.
- Send a photo of your meal.
- Read our reply. It lists the foods we found, with their calories and nutrients.
- Check it if we ask. When the estimate is complete, we log the meal for you. If a food needs checking, tap the link in our reply, fix it and log the meal.
In the app
- Add your meal. Take a photo of your plate, or type in what you ate.
- Check the estimate. Look over the foods and amounts, and change anything that’s wrong.
- Log the meal.
Tips for a better estimate
- Use good light. A dark or blurry photo can’t be read, and we’ll ask you to try again. Send a JPEG, PNG or WebP file under 10 MB.
- Get the whole plate in the photo. A food that’s cut off can’t be counted.
- Send one meal per photo. Each photo becomes its own meal.
Where the numbers come from
The photo tells us which foods are on your plate and roughly how much of each. It doesn’t decide the calories.
Those come from Indian food tables. We look first in the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 from ICMR-National Institute of Nutrition, then in a databank of Indian recipes. If a food isn’t in these tables, we use AI to estimate it instead.
How accurate is it?
It’s an estimate. A photo can’t show cooking oil or how full a katori is, so check the amounts and change any that look wrong. You can edit a meal in the app at any time.
Common questions
No, a photo is enough. If you prefer, you can type your foods in the app instead.
No. It shows what’s in your meal. For advice on your diet, talk to a doctor or dietitian.
Nothing while meal tracking is in beta, which means we’re still testing it. Features and results may change.
