    India’s Home-Cooked Food Isn’t Always Healthy — NutriScan App Reveals Why

    New Delhi [India], April 23: Most of us think we’re eating healthy. But do we really know what’s on our plate?

    Did you know? 1 in 4 Indians are obese. Lifestyle diseases like diabetes, PCOS, and fatty liver are hitting younger people than ever before. Yet most of us think, “I eat ghar ka khana, toh I’m safe.”

    But here’s the harsh truth: even home-cooked food can be harmful — if you don’t know what’s in it.

    Street snacks, restaurant meals, or that innocent-looking paratha — they may be packed with excess calories, poor-quality oils, hidden sugars, or almost zero nutrition. And in India, food rarely comes with a label.

    We’re eating blind. And our health is paying the price.

    Home food isn’t always healthy. Restaurant food? Even Worse.

    Your aloo paratha might have more oil than a plate of fries. That samosa you grabbed at work — 560 calories. That mayo sandwich? D-grade nutrition. We eat blindly, assuming that food made with love is automatically nutritious.

    We’re surrounded by:

    • Meals that are tasty but dangerously calorie-dense
    • “Healthy” snacks promoted by influencers — actually sugar bombs
    • Daily food routines with low protein, high carbs, and missing nutrients

    Why Most Diets Fail in India

    We live in a country where:

    •  80% of meals are homemade but not nutritionally balanced
    • Outside food is often cooked with unhealthy oils & additives
    • Packaged food labeled “healthy” can hide salt and sugar
    • We eat by habit, not awareness
    • There’s no simple way to know nutrition in Indian food
    • Most fitness apps don’t understand desi dishes

    That’s exactly why we built NutriScan — an Indian solution for Indian households.

     What is NutriScan App?

    NutriScan App is India’s first AI-powered meal tracker and personalized Indian diet planner — built for Indian families.

    • You just open the app, click a picture of your meal — and boom! NutriScan tells you what’s in your food.
    • NutriScan understands the complexity of Indian diets — from poha to parathas, from office dabba to wedding buffet.

    Not just calories and macros — it also shows key nutrients like fiber, calcium, potassium, omega-3 and more. You also get a NutriScore – a simple color-coded score (A-E) to know if your meal is healthy.

    NutriScan works with:

    • Home Food
    • Packaged food
    • Supplements
    • ☕ Drinks and juices
    • Zomato / Swiggy food orders

    This app is not just for fitness freaks. It’s for:

    • Busy moms
    • Office workers
    • New parents
    • Retired uncles

    Why NutriScan Works for Indian Families

    NutriScan is built for how we eat (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEwSGo5PnXG/):

    • Recognizes regional dishes like idli, poha, bhurji, khichdi
    • Understands your cooking style — fry, steam, boil
    • Adapts to your lifestyle — work-from-home, office, or travel
    • Supports goals like Weight Loss, Diabetes, PCOS, Pregnancy & Viral/Flu Recovery.

    It’s not made for athletes. It’s made for everyone who wants to live better.

    Somya, 29, from Bengaluru, wanted to lose weight for her cousin’s wedding. She thought she was eating light — until NutriScan showed her regular aloo paratha had a red NutriScore.

    She switched to moong chilla with curd — a green score and more protein.

    In 6 weeks, she lost 4.5 kg.

    “NutriScan made eating smarter easy. I didn’t have to eat less — just better.”

    Trusted by many health conscious people across India, UAE & Singapore.
