Frequently Asked Questions

Nutri Macro includes features HealthifyMe does not: fridge scan (visual AI identifies your sabzis and dals), receipt scan (auto-adds groceries to your pantry), leftover recipe finder, AI recipe remix, a self-serve AI meal planner (no coach required), and a family plan covering 4 members at ₹449/month. Nutri Macro also starts at ₹149/month versus HealthifyMe's ₹208/month. HealthifyMe has a larger food database; Nutri Macro's focus is on AI-powered kitchen management tools built around the way Indian families actually cook and eat.

MyFitnessPal has a large global food database but very limited Indian food entries, no photo scan, no fridge scan, no receipt scan, and no AI meal plan. It is not designed for Indian kitchens. Nutri Macro is built specifically for Indian food habits, regional cuisines, and the realities of home-cooked Indian meals — where the same "dal" can mean very different nutritional profiles depending on preparation.

The app currently runs in English. Regional language support for Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu is planned for a future update. Food search already supports transliterations — searching "poha", "aval", or "atukulu" will all find the same dish. Recipe names are shown in their regional spellings alongside English.

Yes. The database includes 100+ common Indian foods with verified macros — dal tadka, toor dal, chana masala, rajma, Hyderabadi biryani, jeera rice, roti, phulka, paratha, aloo paratha, idli, dosa, masala dosa, upma, poha, sabzi dishes, paneer preparations, and more. You can search by name and log by serving size (number of rotis, cups of rice, bowls of dal). The database is growing regularly.

Yes. The AI meal planner supports vegetarian, vegan, and omnivore preferences. You can also note Jain dietary restrictions (avoiding root vegetables) in your profile preferences — the planner will respect these when generating all meal suggestions. Halal preference is also supported for non-vegetarian meal plans.

You have two options: (1) Use Photo Scan — take a photo of your plated meal and let the AI estimate each item separately. (2) Use the Manual Log — search for each dish name and log by portion (e.g., "Dal Tadka, 1 cup" + "Roti, 2 pieces"). You can also save frequently eaten combinations as a "meal" for quick re-logging.

Photo scan uses AI to identify individual items on your plate — dal, rice, sabzi, and raita are identified separately and estimated individually. Accuracy is highest for standard thali arrangements and single-item dishes with clear visual separation. Complex mixed dishes like biryanis may have an estimation range of ±10–15%. For best accuracy: use natural or bright flat lighting, photograph the full plate directly from above, and avoid shadow over any part of the food.

Open your fridge, take a photo, and the AI identifies your vegetables (karela, lauki, methi, palak, tomatoes, capsicum), dals (toor, moong, chana stored in containers), and ingredients like paneer, curd, and eggs. It then suggests recipes you can make right now with what's available — reducing food waste and saving you from the "what do I cook?" dilemma. Fridge scan is included on all paid plans.

Yes. You choose your regional cuisine preference before generating your plan — South Indian, Punjabi, Bengali, Gujarati, Maharashtra, Hyderabadi, and more. The AI generates a full 7-day plan with breakfast, lunch, and dinner matched to your calorie and macro targets, using authentic dishes from that cuisine. You can regenerate your plan up to 4 times per week (AI Macro Planner and AI Family Planner only).

Recipe Remix uses AI to create a new variation of a recipe using ingredients already in your pantry. If you're tired of the same paneer butter masala, tap Remix and the AI suggests a creative macro-matched variation — like a lighter paneer tikka masala or a paneer palak — without needing extra shopping. Available on AI Macro Planner and AI Family Planner plans (50 remixes per month).

Yes. Snap a photo of your printed receipt from a local kirana, D-Mart, Reliance Fresh, BigBasket, or any Indian grocery store. The app reads the line items, identifies produce and pantry ingredients, and adds them to your pantry with smart expiry estimates. Receipt scan is free and unlimited on all plans — including the free trial.

The Family plan covers up to 4 members under one subscription. Each member has their own account, private food log, individual calorie and macro goals, dietary preferences, and allergy settings. The family shares one pantry and one subscription AI quota. Members can be in different cities — each just needs their own login. The plan owner manages the subscription from their App Store or Play Store account.

Open the app, go to Settings → Family Plan → Invite Member. Enter the family member's email address. They receive an invitation link and create their own Nutri Macro account linked to your family subscription. Each member sets their own profile, goals, height, weight, and dietary preferences independently.

The Family plan works across cities and devices. Each member logs in with their own email. Food logs and nutritional goals are private per member — you share only the subscription quota. The shared pantry reflects what one designated "home kitchen" contains, which each member can view and reference for recipe suggestions.
