What Ahaar shows you
Not a calorie count and a streak. Your six dimensions, your own line over months, and one page a doctor can read in ninety seconds.
Movement, nutrition, sleep, recovery, habits, wellbeing — scored from what you actually did, not from a questionnaire you filled in once.
Weight, waist, energy and sleep — drawn over months, not days. The mirror learns your usual first, so it only speaks when something has actually moved.
What your food gives you and what the tablets add, kept in separate columns — because that is what tells a doctor whether the diet is working or the tablet is carrying it.
The evening question
You have read the articles. You know rice isn’t the enemy and that you should eat more protein. And then it’s seven in the evening and you’re standing in your own kitchen asking:
Ahaar answers these — not with a calorie target and a list of superfoods, but with the food already in your kitchen, from the region you actually cook.
Why it works this way
You eat the thing, the number goes red, and you carry it around for the rest of the day. So people stop opening them — not because planning is dull, but because opening it means being told off. Nobody keeps a daily appointment with their own guilt.
Ahaar works the other way. Tell it what you actually ate: the mishti, the second roti, the plate at the wedding. It takes the day, and the week rebuilds itself around it. One day doesn’t need undoing. It needs absorbing, which is what a nutritionist does and what an app usually doesn’t.
It is also useless if you won’t be honest with it. Log what you wish you’d eaten and it will plan for a person who doesn’t exist. That’s the whole deal: you be honest, it does the arithmetic.
What it does
900+ dishes across 50+ regional kitchens — Assamese, Bengali, Odia, Bihari, Gujarati, Konkan, Kerala, Andhra, Kashmiri, Punjabi, Rajasthani and more, with the method for most. Measured in katoris, rotis and glasses rather than cups and ounces.
No. Type “2 roti, dal, bhindi” in your own words and Ahaar works it out. No barcode hunting, no scanning, no scrolling a database that has never heard of your dinner.
One sitting. Seven days of meals from your own kitchen, with the list to shop for them. Change one dish and the rest adjusts around it.
Write it once. Ahaar works out the figures from the ingredients and keeps it as yours. Your recipe book is free permanently, whether or not you ever pay for anything.
Household plates. One week of cooking that feeds a person losing weight, someone who trains and a grandparent who needs more protein — without cooking three dinners.
Nowhere. No account, no server. Your food, readings and recipes stay on the phone. A barcode, a food name or a photo goes out only when you tap to use those features, and Ahaar says so at the time.
Pick who you are
A grandmother needs more protein, not less. Somebody gaining weight needs the opposite of somebody losing it. Somebody training has different arithmetic, not just more of it. And somebody whose stomach is the reason they came should not have to find that four taps in.
You choose once, on the first screen, and everything after it belongs to your answer. Change it later and your recipes, records and history come with you.
Where Ahaar stops
Ahaar plans everyday food, weight, training fuel and a calmer stomach. It does not diagnose, treat anything or change a medicine.
If you take tablets or insulin for sugar, have kidney or serious liver problems, have had weight-loss surgery, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are under 18, Ahaar will not build an automatic plan. It will tell you so, kindly, and ask you to plan your food with your doctor. That is not caution for its own sake — it is what an honest app should do.
For doctors & dietitians
The Ahaar app anyone can download is a food and lifestyle guide. Alongside it, Ahaar is building doctor-guided plans: a qualified doctor or registered dietitian sets the food limits for their own patient, and Ahaar turns them into everyday Indian meals that stay inside those limits.
Doctors and registered dietitians only, checked against their registration.
Protein, salt, fluids, texture, foods to leave out — for your own patient.
Their week is built inside your limits. Their food stays on their phone.
Every plan carries a review date. Ahaar never overrides what you set.

Nineteen Indian kitchens and twenty-seven more from elsewhere — with the number of dishes Ahaar holds for each.
Every day, one tap
Everything else a diet app measures is a question about months. Burning after dinner is a question about tonight. Tap three days below and see what Ahaar would tell you.
How has your stomach been today?
One tap. Three days of the same answer is when Ahaar has something useful to say.
Noticing is free, always. The daily question, the week and the finding cost nothing. Building your food around it is part of Ahaar Plus — smaller meals and less fat for burning, fewer gas-forming foods and dal split rather than whole for bloating, dry and bland in small amounts for nausea. From the same regional dishes, so nobody is told to give up wheat, dal and onion, which is most of an Indian kitchen.
Ahaar doesn’t diagnose and doesn’t treat. If something has gone on for weeks, or comes with weight loss, trouble swallowing or blood, that belongs with a doctor — and the app says so.

A look inside
Worth correcting
What is true: per gram they are close to identical in energy. What differs is the amount served and what goes alongside it.
Why it matters: half the country is told to give up its staple, replaces it with something no cheaper and no better, and concludes that eating well isn’t for people like them.
What is true: both are fat and both carry about nine calories a gram. The amount on the plate decides the outcome, not the label on the bottle.
What is true: many sugar-free biscuits and sweets are just as high in calories from refined flour and fat, and the sweeteners in some cause gas and bloating.
Why it matters: the label feels like permission to eat more. Reading the calories and the ingredients tells you more than the word “sugar-free”.
More of these are in the app, with the reasoning behind each.
From the founder
I studied nutrition and dietetics. For years I watched the same wrong advice repeated in Indian kitchens — give up rice, fear ghee, skip breakfast to lose weight, drink sugar-free everything — and watched people give up on eating well because it seemed to belong to somebody else.
Every app I tried was built on food data that doesn’t fit the way we eat. Cups and ounces instead of katoris. Pan-Indian restaurant dishes instead of what an Assamese or Konkan household actually cooks. A calorie target and a list of superfoods, and no idea what an Indian family actually puts on the table.
So I built the thing I would have handed someone across a table. It measures in katoris. It knows over 50 regional kitchens. It explains why each dish is on your plate, and it tells you plainly when something belongs to a doctor instead.
And it is built to make itself unnecessary — not because that’s a clever thing to say, but because that is what a diet is for. You learn what your own food does, and then you don’t need to be told.

Ahaar takes no commission from the dietitians it lists. They charge their own fees; Ahaar points people to them.
What it costs
No payment, no card, no expiry.
Everything above, and Ahaar doing the work:
₹250 a month · ₹600 for three · ₹2,000 a year
₹250a month
Cancel any time in the Play Store
₹600₹200 a month
Roughly how long the app is built to be needed
₹2,000₹167 a month
Cheapest per month, if you already know
One payment covers the whole household. Everybody in the house gets their own programme, their own targets and their own history on the same phone — a mother losing weight, a son who trains, a grandmother who needs more protein.
Through Google Play, inside the Android app, using whatever you already have set up there — UPI, card, net banking or Play balance. Ahaar never sees your card details.
In the Play Store under Subscriptions, any time, in two taps. It keeps working until the period you paid for ends. Nothing is deleted and your recipes stay yours.
Google’s policy applies: within 48 hours you can ask for a refund through Play directly. After that, write to me and I will look at it myself.
Prices are in Indian rupees and include tax. The 15 free days run inside the app — no card is asked for to start them, and nothing charges automatically when they end.
Before you decide
Partly, and the free part is not a trial. The calculator, recording what you eat, your own recipe book and the daily digestion question stay free permanently. The weekly plan, household plates, the shopping list, the mirror and the doctor’s report are Ahaar Plus.
Because Ahaar isn’t finished, and a one-time fee funds nothing after the first year. The food table is still growing. The guidance gets checked against current guidelines. Things break and get fixed.
A lifetime price is a promise that whoever built it will keep working for free. I would rather charge a little every month and actually be here.
HealthifyMe sells you a coach and is built for you to keep needing one. Ahaar is built so you need it less over time.
Practically: katoris rather than cups, 50+ regional kitchens rather than pan-Indian restaurant food, and a reason under every dish. It also works with no account and nothing on a server.
Google gives you a recipe. It doesn’t know what you ate yesterday, how many of you are eating, that one of you gets bloated, or that another is trying to gain weight. Ahaar holds all of that and answers with the food you already cook.
900+ dishes across 50+ kitchens, including Assamese, Odia, Konkan, Kashmiri, Bihari, Rajasthani and Kerala — not only the north Indian dishes that fill most apps. If your dish is missing, write it once and Ahaar works out the figures from the ingredients.
Yes, from the first screen, and it also handles allergies and anything you simply won’t eat. Nothing you have ruled out appears in a plan, a swap or a shopping list.
No. There is no account and no server behind Ahaar. Your food, readings and recipes are stored on the device.
Three things go out, and only when you use them: a barcode when you scan a packet, a food name your phone’s own table couldn’t place, and a photograph if you use the camera to read a plate. Each is asked for in plain words at the time.
No. It runs in your browser at getahaar.com. There is also an Android app, and an iPhone version is not available yet.
No, and it says so on its own front screen. Ahaar is a food and lifestyle guide. It doesn’t diagnose, treat anything or change a medicine. If you are under a doctor’s care for a health condition, are pregnant, or are under 18, it asks you to plan your food with your doctor instead of building an automatic plan.
Sunita Sharma, BSc Nutrition and Dietetics, in Guwahati. One person. If something is wrong, you are writing to the person who can change it.
Ahaar is built by one person, and the most useful thing anybody sends is the bit that confused them — a screen that made no sense, a dish that isn’t there, a figure that looks wrong, a word that reads badly in your language.
Praise is kind and I’m glad of it. Complaints are what change the app.
