The Problem

Food trackers make you scan barcodes or scroll through endless lists. But Indian food is mostly home-cooked — there's no barcode on mom's rajma chawal.

How Shellel Solves It

Shellel uses AI to understand your meals in natural language. Say "2 roti, dal tadka, and raita" and it instantly identifies each item, matches it against our Indian food database, and gives you the full nutrition breakdown.

How It Works

  1. Type or speak what you ate — "poha with peanuts and chai"
  2. AI parses your meal into individual food items
  3. Each item is matched against 1,000+ Indian dishes with ICMR-NIN data
  4. See per-item and total calories, protein, carbs, and fat instantly

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI food tracking work?

Tell Shellel what you ate in plain language — like "2 idli, sambar, coconut chutney". The AI parses your sentence, identifies each food item, and looks up nutrition data from our ICMR-NIN database.

Can AI track homemade Indian food?

Yes. Shellel's AI understands Indian dishes by name — dal, sabzi, paratha, thepla — and calculates macros based on standard preparation methods from ICMR-NIN data.

Is the AI food tracker free?

Yes, completely free. No premium plan needed for meal logging, AI analysis, or macro tracking.

Does it work with South Indian food?

Yes. The database covers North and South Indian food — idli, dosa, sambar, rasam, appam, puttu, aviyal, and hundreds more.
