The honest bit
Why every number is a range
No two pots are the same. One more spoon of oil or ghee, a bigger piece of bread, a heavier hand with the rice, and a dish moves by a hundred calories or more. An app that shows one exact number for home cooking is guessing.
Thali shows the range a normal portion really falls in, built from each dish’s ingredients, and tightens it when you tell it more about your portion.
~120 Calin a single tablespoon of ghee. That’s why the range matters.
FAQ
Halal food calories, answered.
What is a halal calorie tracker?
A calorie tracker whose food catalog is halal and built around the food Muslim families actually eat. Thali has no pork anywhere in its catalog and covers Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, Arab, Turkish, Malaysian, Vietnamese and Chinese home cooking, with every dish shown as an honest calorie range.
Which cuisines does Thali cover?
These eight guides cover 632 dishes: Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, Arabic (Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian, Jordanian, Gulf, Egyptian, Iraqi and Moroccan), Turkish, Malaysian, Singaporean and Indonesian, Vietnamese and Chinese. The app has 1,450 dishes in total, because it also includes everyday Western food, drinks, snacks and fruit.
Where do these calorie numbers come from?
Every dish is a recipe built from its real ingredients, and the calories are worked out from standard nutrition values for each ingredient. They are shown as a range because home cooking varies with the oil, the ghee and the portion. Thali isn’t a medical device; talk to a professional for medical decisions.
