Food

Amit Patil

Most calorie trackers are slow to log meals, generic (not India-focused), and bury useful context behind multiple taps. Food is a local-first nutrition app that helps users find food fast, log with one tap, and understand what they ate — macros, sugar (in teaspoons), satiety, digestion gaps, vitamins, and estimated body impact.

Source Live demo

Idea

Motivation: Build a Zepto/Blinkit-style, card-heavy experience for Indian staples (~311 foods with real photos), so logging feels as fast as ordering groceries. Expected impact: Faster daily logging, better awareness of sugar and protein, and smarter food choices via “better alternatives” — all stored on-device with no account required.

How to use

Home → swipe macro cards, one-tap log from food cards Search → grid, filters, quick add Plan → date strip, meal timeline, sugar spoons, body impact Food detail → portion stepper, better alternatives Add custom food → gallery/camera photo How to use Home — View today’s macros; browse Recent / Quick add / High protein; tap + to log instantly or tap a card for detail. Search — 2-column grid; filter (High protein, Low carb, Veg, etc.); tap + to log; app bar + to add custom food. Plan — Pick any date; see meal timeline (Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner · Snacks); edit, reorder, or delete logs; view sugar spoons, satiety, digestion, body impact. Food detail — Adjust portion; see macros, sugar, vitamins; log to today or selected date; explore better alternatives. Custom foods — Add name, macros, optional photo; stored locally alongside the seed catalog.

Notes & next steps

Future plans (v2+): Cloud sync Barcode scan / AI food recognition Fuzzy search aliases Full Settings screen (custom goals, units) Higher accuracy for medical-grade use

Food

Find food fast. Log with one tap. Understand what you ate.

Food is a local-first calorie and nutrition tracker for iOS and Android, built with Flutter. Browse 300+ Indian staples with real photos, log meals in seconds, and get daily insights on macros, sugar, satiety, digestion, and estimated body impact — all stored on your device.

Inspired by the speed and card-heavy layout of Zepto and Blinkit, with a dark UI and orange accent (#FF5A1F).

Daily macro totals, sugar in teaspoons (with spoon icons), and body impact silhouette
Meal timeline (Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner · Snacks) with reorder, edit, and delete
Digestion gaps, satiety, and vitamin aggregates between meals

Food detail

Portion stepper with live macro recalculation
Sugar spoons, satiety ring, vitamins & minerals
Better alternatives — similar foods with stronger protein, satiety, or sugar profiles
Log to today or the date you came from

Custom foods

Add your own items with optional gallery or camera photo
Stored locally in Drift alongside the seed catalog

Tech stack

Layer	Choice
Framework	Flutter 3.x (iOS + Android)
State	Provider
Persistence	Drift (SQLite)
Seed catalog	`assets/data/foods.json` → Drift on first launch
Images	Bundled assets + local files for custom foods

All data stays on-device. No account, no cloud sync in v1.

Getting started

Prerequisites

Flutter SDK >= 3.5.3
Xcode (iOS) or Android Studio / SDK (Android)

Install & run

git clone <repo-url>
cd food
flutter pub get
flutter run

Regenerate Drift code

Only needed after changing database tables in lib/data/database/:

dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

Run tests

flutter test

How it works

First launch — SeedService reads foods.json and inserts foods into Drift. Bundled images resolve via the FoodImage widget.
Logging — Each tap creates a LogEntry row (food ID, portion, meal, date, sort order). Totals are computed on read.
Custom foods — Saved with isCustom: true; optional photo copied to app documents.
Insights — Sugar spoons, satiety, digestion timeline, and body impact are estimates for awareness, not medical advice.

Default daily goals (until Settings ships): 2000 kcal · 150g protein · 65g fat · 250g carbs.
