Two product pillars
-
Body composition tracking — weight, waist/neck tape, body fat, lean
mass, pace, and adaptive calorie targets from your real trend
-
Family / one-pot calorie tracking — cook once, weigh the finished pot,
then serve portions; macros & micros are calculated from that cooked batch so
shared Indian-style meals stay accurate
Who it’s for
- People cutting or recomping who care about fat vs muscle — not scale weight alone
- Anyone tired of static calorie apps that ignore whether the plan is actually working
- Households that cook one pot / one gravy and share plates across the family
- Users who want local-first logging, with optional cloud sync when they want it
What it solves
- Scale-only tracking hides skinny-fat outcomes; tape + body fat tell the real story
- Fixed deficits don’t adapt when your trend is faster or slower than planned
-
Packaged-food databases fail for home cooking — especially solid + gravy meals shared
from one pot
- Logging every raw ingredient at every meal is too slow for daily life
Body composition — what you can do
- Daily log — morning weight, calories, protein, gym / cardio flags
- Weekly check-in — average weight, neck / waist (hip if needed), optional progress photo
- US Navy tape method — estimated body fat % and lean mass
- Targets — BMR, maintenance, calorie target, protein target, goal date
- Adaptive calories — recommended intake shifts from your real weight trend
- Pace & status — on track / behind coaching from check-ins + trends
- Charts — weight, body fat, waist, calories, protein over time
- Learning — short in-app guidance on deficit, protein, and recomp signals
One-pot family meals — recipes, macros & micros
- Recipe builder — ingredients split into pieces (solid) vs gravy
- IFCT-backed ingredients — Indian food composition data for nutrition math
-
Macros per serving — calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre from the cooked dish
-
Micros when available — sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium,
vitamin C, folate
-
Cooked-yield / open pot — weigh the finished pot once; gravy weight =
pot − estimated solid
-
Serve from the pot — log plate grams at breakfast / lunch / dinner; leftovers
decrement remaining solid & gravy
-
Day totals from meals — when meals are logged, that day’s calories &
protein come from meal totals (manual entry still OK on other days)
- Custom foods — add extras when something isn’t in the catalog
How it works (product view)
- Set the goal — profile, activity, goal body fat, planned weekly loss
- Log the body — daily weight + weekly tape/photo → composition & pace
- Build the meal once — recipe with solid/gravy lines from the ingredient DB
- Open the pot — weigh cooked dish once; nutrition locks to that batch
- Serve the family — each person logs their portion; macros & micros scale with grams
- Adapt the plan — calorie target updates from trend, not a forever static deficit
Outcome
- Live at recomp.theballers.in
- Production-ready web PWA (React / Vite)
- Local-first by default; optional Firebase auth & sync
- Recipes / cooked-yield meals enabled; key-lift strength tracking held behind a feature flag
- Designed and shipped end-to-end — problem framing through Netlify-ready build
