How it works
- Take a photo. Plate in good light, from above, with the whole meal in view.
- We name the foods. An AI model spots each food and guesses how much is on the plate.
- We work out the numbers. Calories and nutrients come from PlayGloba's own nutrition table of everyday Indian and common foods, not from the AI's guess.
Questions people ask
How does the food calorie scanner work?
You upload a photo of your meal. An AI model looks at it, names each food and guesses how much of it is on the plate. The calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre are then worked out from PlayGloba's own nutrition table of common Indian and everyday foods, so the numbers don't come from the AI's imagination.
How accurate is the calorie count?
It is an estimate, not an exact measurement. The hardest part to judge from a photo is the portion size, and hidden extras like oil, ghee, butter or sugar can change calories a lot. That is why we show a range next to the total. Use it as a guide for everyday meals.
Does it work for Indian food?
Yes. The nutrition table covers everyday Indian foods such as roti, rice, dal, sabzi, biryani, idli, dosa, paneer dishes, snacks and sweets, along with common western foods and fruits. If a food isn't in the table, the AI gives its own estimate and we mark that line as an AI estimate.
Does PlayGloba save my photo?
No. We don't store your photo. It is sent securely to an AI service to identify the food, and PlayGloba keeps no copy.
Is the food scanner free?
Yes, it is free and you don't need an account. To keep it available for everyone, there is a limit on how many meals one person can scan per hour.
Can it tell me what to eat before or after playing?
It gives a simple guide based on the meal's calories, protein, carbs and fat: whether it is light enough before a game and whether it has enough protein for recovery. It is general guidance for active people, not medical or dietary advice. If you have a health condition or special diet, talk to a doctor or a dietitian.
Which photo gives the best result?
Take the photo from above, in good light, with the whole plate in the picture. Scan one meal at a time and keep spoons, bowls and rotis visible, because they help judge the portion size.
