Indian food calorie counter

Nutrition and weight loss go hand in hand. While nutritional science is an entire medical vertical that deals with the study of the effects of food on metabolism, health and performance, tracking calorie intake is something anyone can do.

The recommended calorie intake varies from person to person, based on age, gender, fitness, metabolism and physical activity levels. This makes it hard to define a nutrition and calorie budget that works for all.

How we began counting calories

The idea of counting calories became popular around the turn of the 20th century when American scientist Wilbur Atwater revealed that a “bomb calorimeter” could measure how much “energy” was present in a particular food. Since then, calorie counting has been a part of health, fitness and diet plans across the world. Apart from losing weight, counting calories is recommended for anyone who wants to build mass, increase strength and boost endurance.

Calculating nutritional value and calories in Indian Foods

One of the biggest challenges faced by people who follow an Indian Diet, is access to the caloric count and value of the dishes they consume.

Most calorie counters are tailored to a Western audience, so you’re more likely to find the protein, fat, carb and fiber breakdown of paella over palak paneer.

This gap in information is overcome by HealthifyMe, a comprehensive lifestyle tracking platform that comprises of the largest database of Indian food items. With over 20,000 dishes covering all regional cuisines, and recognisable quantity measurements such as katoris and bowls apart from the ubiquitous grams. Calorie tracking has never been easier!

Here’s how HealthifyMe can help you track your calorie intake. These features are available for free when you download the app.
