A calorie counter that understands Indian food
Indian food is hard to count. A bowl of dal at home, at a dhaba and at a wedding can be three very different meals. Fiytt gives you several ways to log what you actually ate, from a search for "rajma chawal" to a barcode scan of a packet of Haldiram's, and keeps those numbers next to your training.
What you can find in food search
Fiytt's food search pulls from FatSecret and Open Food Facts, plus foods you have created or logged before. When we checked in October 2026, both sources returned results for everyday Indian foods.
Dals and curries
Dal tadka, moong dal, toor dal, rajma, chole and sambar.
Breads
Roti, chapati, phulka and paratha, including aloo paratha.
South Indian breakfasts
Idli, plain and masala dosa, upma and poha.
Dairy
Paneer, dahi and ghee.
Rice dishes
Chicken, mutton and vegetable biryani.
Packaged brands
Products from Amul, Haldiram's, Britannia and MTR, among others. Coverage is not perfect. A home-style dish from your region may not have an exact match, and a database entry is someone else's recipe, not yours. Treat a search result as a reasonable starting point and adjust the portion to what is on your plate.
When search does not have it
Barcode scan
Scan a packet of biscuits, namkeen or ready-to-eat curry. Barcode lookups use Open Food Facts, which has many products sold in India.
Nutrition label scan
Indian packaged foods print a nutrition table. If the barcode is not found, point your camera at the label instead.
AI photo estimate
Snap your thali and review the estimate. Fiytt suggests foods, portions and macros, and nothing is saved until you confirm or edit it.
Your own foods and saved meals
Create a food for a dish you cook often, or save a usual meal, such as two rotis, dal and sabzi, and log it again in one tap.
Getting home-cooked numbers closer
Most of the uncertainty in Indian home cooking comes from a few things. A little care here does more than any app feature.
Ghee and oil
Fat is the biggest swing. One teaspoon of ghee is about 5 g and roughly 45 kcal, and a tadka or a paratha can carry several. If you cook, measure the oil for the whole pot once and divide it by servings.
Katori sizes
A katori is not a standard unit. Bowls at home range widely, so weigh what your usual katori holds once and use that from then on.
Roti size
A thin phulka and a thick restaurant roti can differ a lot in weight. Weigh a few of yours on a kitchen scale and pick the closest entry.
Log ingredients for big batches
For a dish you make often, such as rajma or chole, log the main ingredients by weight, or create a food for it, rather than guessing from a generic entry.
Restaurant food
Restaurant curries are often richer than home versions. Pick an entry that matches and accept that it is an estimate.
Food and training in one place
Fiytt is also a full workout log. You can record sets, reps and weight with a rest timer, track runs on Apple Watch and import activity from Apple Health. So when you eat more on a heavy leg day, you can see why, and when protein is low on a training day, you notice. If you work with a certified coach in Fiytt, you choose which parts of your data they can see.
Frequently asked questions
Does Fiytt have Indian foods like dal, roti and paneer?
Yes. In October 2026 Fiytt's food sources returned results for dal, roti, chapati, paneer, idli, dosa, poha, upma, rajma, chole, biryani, paratha, dahi, ghee and sambar, plus Indian brands like Amul, Haldiram's and Britannia. Some regional or home-style dishes may not have an exact match, so you can create your own food or save a meal.
How do I count calories in home-cooked Indian food?
Weigh your usual portions once, measure the oil or ghee for the whole pot and divide it by servings, and save meals you eat often. For a dish you cook regularly, log the main ingredients or create a food for it.
Can I scan Indian packaged food?
Yes. Scan the barcode to look the product up in Open Food Facts. If it is not there, scan the nutrition label on the packet instead.
Is the AI photo estimate accurate for Indian meals?
It is an estimate. Curries, gravies and ghee are hard to judge from a photo, so check the suggested foods and portions before saving. For meals you repeat, a saved meal will give more consistent numbers.
Which devices does Fiytt work on?
Fiytt is available on iPhone, Android through Google Play, and Apple Watch.
