## What is DesiCal?

Snap a photo of your roti, biryani, or nihari — DesiCal's AI instantly logs calories, protein, carbs, and fat.

Finally, a calorie tracker that actually understands South Asian food. No more searching "chicken curry" and guessing which of 47 wrong results matches your plate.

DesiCal is the first calorie tracker built specifically for desi cuisine — from daal chawal to chapli kabab, haleem to halwa.

FEATURES
- AI food recognition trained on South Asian dishes
- Instant calorie and macro estimates from a single photo
- Accurate tracking for roti, naan, paratha, biryani, karahi, nihari, haleem, and more
- Personalized daily calorie and macro goals based on your profile
- Log meals by photo, description, or manual entry
- Clean, fast interface — log a meal in under 10 seconds
- Save your favorite dishes for one-tap logging
- Ramadan and fasting-friendly flexible meal timing

WHY DESICAL
Every calorie app has 14 million foods — and none of them are yours. Searching "chapati" shouldn't return 30 generic results. DesiCal's AI recognizes the difference between aloo paratha and mooli paratha, between Sindhi biryani and Hyderabadi biryani.

Built by South Asians, for South Asians — whether you're in Karachi, Lahore, Mumbai, Dhaka, London, Toronto, or Dubai.

PRIVACY FIRST
Your food photos are processed securely and never sold. We don't share your data with advertisers.

Start free. No credit card needed.
