Why Calorie Tracking is the Foundation of Fitness
Studies show people underestimate intake by 20-50% without tracking. Teddy Jewellers’ tool solves this with:
- Barcode Scanner: Log packaged foods in seconds (supports 500K+ Indian products).
- AI Meal Detection: Upload a photo of your plate (e.g., dal-rice) for automatic calorie estimates.
- Macro Tracking: Monitor protein, carbs, and fats to align with goals like muscle gain or diabetes management.
Case Study: How a User Lost 12kg in 4 Months
The Challenge
Riya, a 28-year-old IT professional, struggled with:
- Irregular meals and late-night snacking.
- No time for gym sessions.
The Solution
- Set a 1,600-calorie daily goal with 40% protein using the app.
- Used the “Quick Recipes” feature for 15-minute meals (e.g., paneer wraps).
- Synced with her Fitbit to track 8,000 daily steps.
The Result
- Weight: ↓ 12kg (82kg → 70kg).
- Energy levels: Improved 70% with balanced macros.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Tool
Step 1: Set Your Profile
Input age, weight, height, and activity level. The app calculates your Maintenance Calories. For weight loss, subtract 500 calories/day (e.g., 2,000 → 1,500).
Step 2: Log Meals Effortlessly
- Barcode Scan: Snap a Parle-G biscuit pack to log 68 calories per biscuit.
- Voice Search: “Add 1 bowl brown rice” → auto-log 215 calories.
Step 3: Analyze & Adjust
| Metric | Target | Your Intake |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 1,600 | 1,720 |
| Protein (g) | 120 | 98 |
The app suggests fixes: “Replace 2 chapatis with grilled chicken to hit protein goals.”
