The Problem

Most calorie counter apps are built for burgers and salads. They think roti is a tortilla, and paneer doesn't exist. You end up spending more time searching than eating.

How Shellel Solves It

Shellel is a calorie counter app built from the ground up for Indian food. Our database of 1,000+ Indian dishes uses ICMR-NIN data — the gold standard for Indian nutrition research. Just type "2 roti, dal fry, curd" and get instant macros.

How It Works

  1. Tell Shellel what you ate in your own words — Hindi, English, Hinglish, anything
  2. AI identifies each food item and matches it against 1,000+ Indian dishes
  3. Get instant calorie, protein, carbs, and fat breakdown per item and total
  4. Track daily progress and get proactive coaching nudges
