NutrAI - Your Personalized Nutrition Assistant

Team Name: NutrAI
Team Members: Vaibhav Barot • Krutin Rathod • Aryan Desai • Vanshika Mehta

🍎 About the Project

In a world where 74% of adults struggle with consistent healthy eating (WHO), NutrAI bridges the gap between convenience and nutrition. Our app transforms chaotic dietary habits into structured, science-backed plans using AI, while addressing a critical market gap – the global nutrition apps market is projected to hit $26.5B by 2027, yet most apps lack true personalization.

NutrAI doesn’t just track meals – it learns from your lifestyle, adapts to your cravings, and guides you toward sustainable health. From college students surviving on takeout to fitness enthusiasts optimizing macros, we’re redefining food-tech with empathy and innovation.

💡 Inspiration

The spark came during a late-night coding session fueled by... you guessed it, pizza and energy drinks. We realized:

🚫 Existing apps treat users as data points, not humans
🥗 Meal tracking felt like punishment, not empowerment
🌍 63% of millennials want personalized nutrition but can’t afford dietitians

Our "aha!" moment? Combine AI’s analytical power with human-centric design to create a nutrition companion that feels like your smartest foodie friend.
