An AI diet plan that knows idli, sambar and roti

The food list has over 9,000 entries and leans heavily toward Indian cooking: idli, dosa, sambar, poha, rajma, roti, curd rice and the rest. Logging a normal Indian meal doesn't turn into a research project.

For many Tamil Nadu and South Indian dishes, PEAKD! computes the numbers from a standard recipe, including the oil a fried dish actually soaks up. Those rows are marked "Standard recipe" in search.

When you ask for a meal plan you choose a region and tell the app what you usually eat. The week is built around that, so a Chennai breakfast and a Delhi breakfast don't look the same.

• Regions: South Indian, North Indian, East Indian, West Indian, Mughlai and Indo-Chinese, plus global cuisines.
• Diet types: vegetarian, eggetarian, vegan and non-vegetarian.
• Seven days, four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner.
• Daily targets for calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre from your own body details.

Tell the coach "2 idlis with sambar" or "one plate chicken biryani" and it logs the meal. Or take a photo of your plate and confirm the dishes it finds. A home recipe that isn't listed can be added once and saved to My foods.

You can type or speak to the coach in English, Tamil or Hindi, and the mic also works in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati and Punjabi.

In India the subscription is billed in rupees by Google Play or the App Store. Logging food and workouts by hand is free. The pricing page lists every plan.
