How it works
Track calories from a photo of your food
Portion AI is an AI calorie tracker built for Indian meals. Instead of weighing ingredients or searching a database, you snap a photo and get an instant estimate of calories, protein, carbs and fat. Here is the full flow.
1. Snap your meal
Open Portion AI and take a photo of your plate — a thali, a bowl of dal, a dosa, or anything you are eating. No barcode, no searching a database.
2. AI estimates calories & macros
Portion AI analyses the photo and estimates calories, protein, carbs and fat. The model is tuned for real Indian food, using nutrition baselines for common home-cooked and restaurant dishes.
3. Review and log
Check the estimate, see the detected ingredients, and add it to your day with one tap. Everything is saved to your daily log automatically.
4. Track your progress
Follow your daily calorie and macro targets, keep your logging streak going, and watch your weight trend over time.
Why photo tracking works better
Most calorie apps were built for packaged, western food and make you search endless database entries. That breaks down for a home-cooked thali or a plate of chole bhature. Portion AI estimates the whole plate from an image, so logging takes seconds and you actually stick with it. Want the raw numbers? Browse our Indian food calories chart for 60+ common dishes.
Frequently asked questions
How does AI calorie tracking work?
You take a photo of your food and an AI vision model identifies the dish and estimates the portion. It then maps that to nutrition values to produce calories and macros. Portion AI does this on a server so the estimate is consistent and improves over time.
Is Portion AI accurate for Indian food?
Portion AI is built India-first. It uses nutrition baselines for common Indian dishes like roti, dal, biryani, dosa and paneer, so estimates are more realistic than generic western trackers. Estimates are still approximate and depend on portion size and cooking style.
Do I have to weigh my food?
No. The whole point is to skip weighing and manual logging. You snap a photo and get an estimate. You can browse typical values on our Indian food calories chart too.
