Thali
The calorie tracker that actually knows what dal makhani is.
190+ South Asian dishes. AI photo scanning. SA-specific BMI. Ramadan & Navratri fasting. Built for the diaspora.
The Problem
Every Calorie App Was Built for Someone Else
Search "roti" in MyFitnessPal and you get 47 conflicting entries from random users — none of them accurate, none sourced from Indian nutrition data
Western BMI thresholds call you healthy when South Asian health bodies say you're at metabolic risk — the difference starts at BMI 23, not 25
Logging 1 katori of dal requires a gram scale and a conversion chart — because no app was built around how South Asians actually measure food
Ramadan and Navratri don't exist in generic calorie trackers — your fasting schedule disappears into a broken daily "deficit" that makes no sense

Built Different
Five Things That Make Thali Different
Built for the South Asian diaspora — not retrofitted for it.
AI Photo Scanning
Point your camera at any SA dish and GPT-4o identifies it. Works on thali plates, curry bowls, biryani, street food, and home-cooked meals. Confidence-rated so you always know how certain the AI is.
190+ SA Dishes, NIN-ICMR Verified
Roti, dal, sabzi, biryani, dosa, idli, chaat, kebabs, Bangladeshi staples, Pakistani dishes, East African SA food. All sourced from India's National Institute of Nutrition — not random user submissions.
South Asian BMI Thresholds
Overweight starts at BMI ≥23 for South Asians, not ≥25. Obese starts at ≥27.5, not ≥30. WHO-recommended SA thresholds so your health picture is accurate, not optimistically wrong.
Katori & Multi-Unit Logging
Log food in grams, ml, oz, cups (US/UK/AU), tablespoons, teaspoons, or katori (150ml). No gram scale required — measure the way your family actually cooks.
Ramadan & Navratri Fasting
Dedicated fasting modes with Sehri and Iftar tracking, countdown timers, Navratri ingredient restrictions, and common IF protocols like 16:8. Your fasts are first-class features, not workarounds.
Water, Weight & Recipes
Tap-to-track water glasses, weight logs with SA BMI calculation, custom recipe builder, weekly progress charts, and achievements — everything a full tracker needs, built coherently.
How It Works
Logging That Takes Seconds, Not Minutes
Three ways to log — scan, search, or build your own meal.
Point your camera at any dish — AI identifies it in seconds. Or search from 190+ verified SA foods. Or log anything manually.
Choose katori, cup, tablespoon, gram, or oz. Thali shows the nutrition for your exact portion — no conversion math.
Calories, protein, carbs, fat, water intake, SA BMI — weekly progress charts that actually reflect your health.
Built for Real South Asian Lives
"Every other tracker was built for someone eating salads and chicken breast. Thali was built for the way we actually eat."
