Built Different. Built for India.
Most nutrition software is designed for Western markets, then localized as an afterthought. MealStack is designed for Indian practitioners from the ground up — the food database, the portions, the payments, the pricing.
The 5-Tool Chaos
This is how most Indian dietitians run their practice today.
Client communication
Excel
Meal plans & tracking
Google Calendar
Scheduling
Billing App
Invoicing
Pen & Paper
Clinical notes
MealStack
One platform. Everything your practice needs.
Your clients deserve better than screenshots of Excel sheets sent on WhatsApp.
Three Pillars. One Platform.
What makes MealStack different from every other nutrition tool on the market.
Clinical Rigor
Not a food diary app — a clinical nutrition platform.
- SOAP & ADIME clinical charting
- Body composition tracking (BMI, body fat %, skinfolds)
- 80+ nutrients tracked per food item
- Lab value tracking with normal range indicators
India-First Design
Built for India, not localized from the West.
- IFCT 2017 + INDB + USDA combined food database
- Hindi & regional food name search
- Indian portions (katori, roti, idli, dosa)
- Indian meal composition — auto-pair roti + dal + sabzi
- Razorpay, UPI, GST-compliant invoicing
Modern SaaS UX
Feels like Notion, works like a clinical tool.
- Notion-like simplicity, Figma-like visual tools
- Real-time nutrient calculation (no page reloads)
- In-app messaging with GIFs, reactions, and search
- Branded PDF exports + WhatsApp sharing
- Mobile-responsive dashboard

Built Different
Four things you won't find in any other nutrition platform.
The Only Combined Food Database
IFCT 2017, INDB, and USDA FoodData Central in one unified search. 9,349 foods with 80+ nutrients each. Compare any two foods side-by-side with visual nutrient bars.
Search in Your Language
Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi food names built in as native aliases. Not a translation layer — search "aloo" and find potato instantly.
Pricing That Makes Sense
₹1,499/mo, not $25/mo. Pay with Razorpay, UPI, or net banking. All prices in INR, inclusive of GST. No currency conversion surprises.
Part of the Workfile Ecosystem
Same Workfile ID login, same billing, same media library. If you already use Workfile Store for your practice website, MealStack is already home.
