MyFitnessPal has one of the largest food databases in the world, with over 20 million foods, so it’s a strong choice for packaged foods. If most of your meals are home-cooked Indian food, though, searching for the right “dal tadka” entry gets old fast. Vitality lets you type or say the meal instead.

In MyFitnessPal you search the database for each item and pick an entry, which works well for branded and packaged food. Home-cooked Indian food is harder: the right “dal tadka” or “aloo gobi” entry depends on who made it and how.
In Vitality you write “2 roti, 1 katori dal tadka, aloo gobi” and the AI estimates each item for the portion you describe. You check and adjust each one before saving. More on that: counting calories in Indian food.
Vitality’s free plan has no ads and includes typing and voice logging, your own calorie and macro targets, workouts, water, sleep, steps, body metrics and health sync. See every feature, free and Plus.
