Happy Dussehra.

Today's goal isn't a calorie number. Have the jalebi.

Log it tomorrow if you want to. We'll still be here.

Navami prasad, one katori each:

Suji halwa 301 kcal
Kheer 245
Gajar halwa 245
Shrikhand 168

Kheer has 3x the protein of suji halwa.

Last day of Navratri.

Did nine days of vrat move your weight up, down, or not at all?

Reply honestly. We're collecting answers.

Six Indian breakfasts. Most protein per calorie?

Besan chilla, by a distance.

Poha and aloo paratha come last.

Built this week: type a meal the way you'd say it.

"2 roti, dal, katori curd" → matched to USDA data → counted.

No search box. No eleven entries for one roti.

Four weeks of building Forkbell in public:

• Waitlist: 4
• Posts: 43
• Followers: close to zero

The posts were accurate. Nobody saw them.

This week: 2 posts a day on 6 platforms, and a reply to every comment.

@mathiasvrb Yeah it just takes time to get some eyeballs but its better to keep post consistently

Pandal-hopping, one of each:

Phuchka (6): 319
Veg momos (8): 280
Rasgulla: 110
Jalebi: 86

795 kcal. Worth every one.

Pandal-hopping this weekend?

How many plates of phuchka is your record? Be honest.

Your dal never had a barcode.

That's why calorie apps get Indian food wrong. So we built the database first: 57 Indian dishes, ingredient by ingredient, every number traceable.

#WorldFoodDay

[Forkbell @forkbellapp]

It's World Food Day.

Most calorie apps were built from barcodes. Your dal never had one.

That's the whole reason Forkbell exists.

500 kcal on a vrat day is:

7½ dates
4¾ bananas
4¾ cups of makhana
3 handfuls of peanuts
0.9 plate of sabudana khichdi

#Navratri

[Forkbell @forkbellapp]

Honest question: does Navratri make you lose weight or gain it?

We think most people gain. Sabudana, aloo, kuttu puri, sweet lassi.

Tell us we're wrong.

#Navratri

[Forkbell @forkbellapp]

Vrat plates run low on protein.

Sabudana khichdi: 7.1 g for 539 kcal.
50 g paneer: 13 g for 164 kcal.
