Food intelligence

One search. Calories, sugar and glycemic load.

Most nutrition databases were built around sandwiches and cereal. Ours starts with roti, dal, poha and gulab jamun — 9,100 foods with glycemic data and 3,000 with sugar broken into natural and added.

Sugar is split into natural and added, because only added sugar counts against the WHO daily limit of 25 g. A mango and a biscuit can hold the same sugar and mean opposite things.

Why DialFit exists

Built on sources,
not guesses.

Most health calculators copy one another and cite nothing. Every result on DialFit traces back to ICMR, WHO or a published paper you can open yourself — and every tool stays free, so the standard never has to bend to a paywall.

Why we built it this way

A BMI of 24 is not the same everywhere.

At an identical BMI, South Asians carry more visceral fat and less muscle than European populations. Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease appear at lower body weights, which is why ICMR moved the overweight threshold to 23.0 while WHO's international chart still begins at 25.0.

Use a Western calculator and you can sit comfortably inside "healthy" while your actual risk is climbing. Every DialFit tool applies the Indian cut-off where one exists, and tells you plainly when the two disagree.

When a number isn’t enough

The tools give you numbers.
A plan needs a person.

Every calculator here is free and will stay that way. But a number cannot see that you eat lunch at your desk, that dal is non-negotiable, or that there are three weeks before a wedding. A plan can.

  • 01A diet plan for weight loss written from your own numbers — BMI, TDEE, protein target, risk scores.
  • 02Meals you already eat, with portions. Not a list of foods you will never buy.
  • 03One follow-up, so the plan bends when real life does.

Myth or fact?

Six things people believe about food and weight. Tap a card for the honest answer.

Mostly mythJaggery carries traces of iron and potassium that refined sugar does not, but the quantities are tiny at normal serving sizes. Calorie for calorie it behaves almost identically, and it counts against your added-sugar limit exactly the same way.Source: WHO added-sugar guidance · IFCT 2017Read: jaggery vs sugar →
Mostly mythTotal intake across the day is what drives weight, not the hour on the clock. Late eating is linked to weight gain mainly because late meals tend to be larger and less planned — not because the body stores food differently at night.Source: Energy balance literatureWork out your TDEE →
MythYou cannot choose where fat leaves from. Ab exercises build the muscle underneath but do not preferentially burn the fat above it. Belly fat responds to an overall calorie deficit — and waist measurement tracks that better than weight alone.Source: ICMR waist cut-offsCheck your waist-hip ratio →
Partly trueBrown rice has more fibre and a somewhat lower glycemic index, so it raises blood sugar a little more slowly. The difference is real but modest — portion size and what you eat alongside it matter more than the colour of the grain.Source: International GI Tables (Atkinson 2021)Compare both in the GI tool →
MythSkipping a meal does not measurably slow resting metabolic rate. Whether breakfast helps depends on whether it stops you overeating later. Some people do better with it, some without — the scale is not decided at 8am.Source: Mifflin-St Jeor · BMR literatureCalculate your BMR →
True, but tinyYour body does spend a little energy warming cold water to body temperature — roughly 8 kcal per glass. Drink two litres ice-cold and you have burned about the same as half a biscuit. Hydrate because it helps you, not as a weight strategy.Source: Thermic effect of waterHow much water do you need? →

Common questions

Short answers, no hedging.

The questions people ask before they trust a number. Three of these answer themselves — put your own figures in.

See all 23 calculators →
01What is a healthy BMI, and why do Asian and Western standards differ?

On Western scales a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is healthy. For South Asian bodies, WHO research shows health risks begin earlier, so DialFit flags 23 and above as raised and 25 and above as high. This is because Indian bodies tend to carry more visceral fat at the same BMI, raising diabetes and heart risk sooner. Open the BMI Calculator →

02What should I weigh for my height?

There is no single number. Four medical formulas — Devine, Hamwi, Robinson and Miller — give one range, and the ICMR healthy BMI band of 18.5 to 22.9 gives another. At 170 cm that band is roughly 53.5 to 66.2 kg. The Ideal Weight Calculator shows both, adjusted for your frame size.

03How much sugar should I have in a day?

The WHO recommends keeping added sugar under about 25 grams a day, roughly 6 teaspoons, for an adult. Naturally occurring sugar in whole fruit and plain dairy is counted differently. Use the sugar checker on this page to see the added sugar in any food in teaspoons before you eat it. Open the Sugar Calculator →

04How much water should I drink daily?

A common guide is about 8 glasses, but your real need depends on body weight, roughly 33 ml per kilogram, plus more in hot weather or with exercise. The Water Intake Calculator gives a personalised daily target in litres and glasses.

70kg → 2.3L 9 glasses a day
05What time should I go to sleep to wake up feeling refreshed?

Sleep runs in roughly 90-minute cycles, so waking at the end of a cycle feels more refreshed than waking mid-cycle. To wake at 7 AM, good bedtimes are around 9:46 PM, 11:16 PM or 12:46 AM. The Sleep Calculator works out the exact times for any wake-up hour.

06What is a calorie deficit, and how do I calculate mine?

A calorie deficit means eating fewer calories than your body burns in a day - it is the whole of how to lose weight, whatever else a plan adds around it. First find your daily burn with the TDEE Calculator, then subtract 300 to 500 calories for steady, safe weight loss. The Weight Loss Calculator turns that into a dated plan.

07What is metabolic age, and can I lower it?

Metabolic age is the age at which the average person has the same basal metabolic rate as you. If you are 40 and your BMR matches an average 32-year-old, your metabolic age is 32. It is driven mostly by lean muscle mass, so resistance training and adequate protein are the levers. Expect 8 to 12 weeks before it moves measurably. Open the Metabolic Age Calculator →

08How do I calculate my max heart rate?

The Tanaka formula estimates maximum heart rate as 208 minus 0.7 times your age, which is more accurate for adults than the older 220-minus-age rule. At 35 that is about 183 bpm. Training zones are percentages of that number: 60 to 70 per cent for fat burning, 70 to 85 per cent for cardio. Open the Heart Rate Calculator →

35years → 183bpm max
09Are the health calculators on DialFit free?

Yes. All 23 calculators are completely free, with no sign-up, no login and no paywall. DialFit is built on peer-reviewed science using ICMR, WHO and NIH guidelines, and calibrated for Indian bodies.

10How to lose belly fat?

Not with ab exercises alone — you cannot choose where fat comes off. A sustained calorie deficit, enough protein and regular movement reduce total fat, and abdominal fat goes with it. Track waist circumference rather than weight: for Indian adults, above 90 cm for men and 80 cm for women signals raised risk. The waist-hip ratio calculator does the measurement for you.

11Which are the low GI foods?

Anything scoring 55 or under: most dals and legumes, milk and curd, most whole fruit, barley, and pasta cooked firm. Idli, white rice and white bread sit high. Glycemic load matters more than the index alone because it accounts for portion size — the GI & GL checker gives both for 9,113 foods.

12How many calories in rice?

Calories in rice: about 130 kcal per 100 g of cooked white rice, so a standard katori of roughly 150 g is near 195 kcal. Cooked brown rice is slightly lower at about 110 kcal per 100 g and carries more fibre. Raw rice is roughly three times denser, which is where most estimates go wrong — the calorie counter handles both states.

13When is my next period due?

Add your average cycle length to the first day of your last period. For most adults a normal cycle is 21 to 35 days. The period calculator works out your next twelve periods, and the ovulation calculator covers the fertile window in more detail.
