Could you build this?
Partial The logging UI, photo capture, and plan generation are vibe-codeable using vision and LLM APIs, but the 800+ dish nutrition database and ICMR-NIN-based targets need curated, accurate data.
What it would actually take: The stack is a mobile app with a vision/LLM API for food recognition and a backend for logging and targets. The hard part is a validated Indian food composition database (dish-level macros by portion, regional variants) and correctly applying ICMR-NIN dietary reference values, which requires nutrition-science expertise and food-composition sources. Without that, photo estimates will be inaccurate in ways users cannot easily detect.
