# About NutriKaki

> NutriKaki is a calorie tracker built specifically for Singapore hawker food, using HPB-verified data — covering 2,700+ dishes.

## What We Do

NutriKaki solves a problem that every health-conscious Singaporean faces: no calorie tracker understands local food. Generic apps built for the US or UK market have little to no coverage of Singapore hawker food.

We built NutriKaki on the official Health Promotion Board (HPB) Singapore food composition database — the same data used by Singapore's healthcare system. That means when you log chicken rice or laksa, the numbers are clinically verified, not user-submitted guesses.

Beyond the data, NutriKaki understands how Singaporeans actually order food. Our smart modifier engine recognises *siew dai* (less sugar), *kosong* (no sugar), *less rice*, and *dabao* — and adjusts your macros accordingly.

## Key Features

- **2,700+ HPB-verified dishes** — hawker food, restaurant meals, packaged foods and beverages
- **AI Photo Logging** — snap a photo of your hawker spread and the AI logs it
- **NutriCoach AI** — a Singapore-aware chatbot that recommends what to eat based on your remaining budget
- **Smart Modifier Engine** — understands siew dai, kosong, less rice, less oil, dabao, and adjusts macros in real time
- **Purine & Gout Tracker** — purine estimates for local dishes, from published nutrition research, each labelled with a confidence level
- **Sodium & Sugar Tracking** — flags high-sodium dishes (char kway teow: 1,890mg per plate) against your daily limits
- **Activity Sync** — screenshot your Apple Watch, Garmin, or Samsung Health data; AI reads the active calories
- **Available on Web, iOS and Android**

## Who It's For

NutriKaki is designed for health-conscious Singaporeans and Southeast Asians who eat at hawker centres daily and want accurate nutrition data without giving up their favourite food. It's especially suited for people managing:

- Weight loss — find lower-calorie hawker options without guessing

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What data does NutriKaki use for nutrition information?**

NutriKaki uses the official Health Promotion Board (HPB) Singapore food composition database, sourced under licence from HPB. This is the same database used by Singapore hospitals and dietitians. Data covers over 2,700 food items with verified calorie, protein, carbohydrate, fat, sodium, and sugar values. Purine levels are estimated separately, from published nutrition research.

**How many calories are in chicken rice?**

Per HPB Singapore data: Soya Sauce Chicken Rice is 471 kcal per plate (310g), Steamed Chicken Rice (Ji Fan) is 488 kcal per plate (346g), and Roasted Chicken Rice (Siew Ji Fan) is 643 kcal per plate (363g). Ordering less rice saves approximately 55–90 kcal. Track your exact portion on NutriKaki.

**How many calories are in laksa?**

Singapore laksa has approximately 429 kcal per bowl (604g), primarily from coconut milk. Laksa is also high in sodium at around 3,086mg per bowl — well above the daily recommended limit of 2,000mg. Asam laksa is a lower-calorie alternative at around 350–450 kcal.

**Does NutriKaki understand local food modifiers like siew dai or kosong?**

Yes. NutriKaki's smart modifier engine recognises common Singapore ordering shorthand — siew dai (less sugar), kosong (no sugar), less rice, less oil, and dabao. When you log a drink or dish with a modifier, the calorie and macro count is adjusted accordingly.

**Is NutriKaki suitable for people with gout?**

Yes. NutriKaki estimates purine content for hawker dishes, using published nutrition research, with each dish matched to the best available source and labelled with a confidence level. Users managing gout can see the estimated purine content of hawker dishes — particularly relevant for offal (liver, kidney), shellfish (prawns, clams), and certain soups — and stay within safe daily limits.

**How is NutriKaki different from MyFitnessPal or Cronometer?**

NutriKaki uses the official HPB Singapore food database instead of the Western-focused databases most trackers rely on, and its smart modifier engine understands local ordering shorthand like siew dai and kosong. For a full sourced comparison against MyFitnessPal and Cronometer — including where NutriKaki is not the right choice — see the [detailed comparison guide](https://nutrikaki.com/blog/best-calorie-tracker-singapore-hawker-food).
