Introducing DietSnap: snap your plate, know if it fits
Why we built a food-photo app that gives a verdict instead of just counting calories — and how it decides.
Most diet apps ask you to do arithmetic. Search a food, pick a portion, read a calorie number, and then work out for yourself whether that number is a problem. For someone managing diabetes or high blood pressure, the calorie number is rarely the question that matters.
DietSnap starts from a different question: should I eat this, given my health?
How a verdict is made
You take a photo of your plate. DietSnap reads the meal time from the photo, detects each dish, and estimates its nutrition — calories, protein, carbs, fat, sugar and sodium. Then it checks every dish against every health goal on your profile: diabetes, weight loss, BP / heart and thyroid.
Each dish carries a rating per goal. The meal's verdict is the worst rating across all dishes and all of your goals. One gulab jamun on an otherwise perfect thali still makes the meal Very dangerous for diabetes, because that is the dish that will spike your sugar.
Reasons, not just colours
A red badge on its own is not helpful. Every verdict comes with the reasons behind it, worst first, and with swaps that are realistic for an Indian kitchen: an extra katori of dal instead of a second roti, idli instead of a masala dosa, nimbu paani without sugar instead of a cola.
Honest when it doesn't know
If DietSnap can't judge a dish, or you haven't picked any health goals, the meal is marked Not assessed. We never show a green badge we can't back up.
DietSnap for iPhone is in final testing. You can try the same verdict engine today on DietSnap Web.
