Nutrition apps weren't built for us
Every nutrition app wants me to weigh my dal in grams...
I searched 'paneer bhurji calories' for the 100th time...
MyFitnessPal thinks roti is a tortilla...
I gave up tracking because nothing understood my food.
Yeah, I get it. That's exactly why I was built.

Biggest win this week: You stayed consistent with your fiber even on restaurant days! Adding cucumber raita made a huge difference.
You're only 40g of protein away from your goal! How about a handful of almonds or Greek yogurt for your next snack?
That's super common after a carb-heavy meal. Your blood sugar spiked and then took a dip. Maybe try adding a side of raita next time?

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Shellel track Indian food calories?
Just tell Shellel what you ate in plain language — like "2 roti, dal fry, and curd". The AI parses your meal, matches each item against our database of 1,000+ Indian dishes (sourced from ICMR-NIN), and gives you a full calorie and macro breakdown in seconds.
Is Shellel better than MyFitnessPal for Indian food?
MyFitnessPal is built for Western food — it thinks roti is a tortilla. Shellel is built specifically for Indian meals. Our database covers dal, sabzi, biryani, dosa, and 1,000+ dishes with accurate data from ICMR-NIN tables. No more searching and guessing.
What nutrition data does Shellel use?
All nutrition data comes from the ICMR-NIN (Indian Council of Medical Research — National Institute of Nutrition) Indian Food Composition Tables and the Indian Nutrient Database (INDB 2024). This is the gold standard for Indian food nutrition research.
Is Shellel free?
Yes, Shellel is completely free to download and use on Google Play. Meal logging, AI analysis, and macro tracking are all included at no cost.
Can Shellel help with PCOS, diabetes, or thyroid?
