Chennai: The Food Analysts (TFA), a WhatsApp-based personalised food coach, has become popular among youngsters. A team of expert nutritionists spearheads the group and fitness coaches help subscribers track their daily calorie and nutrient intakes over WhatsApp chats.
Users can send pictures of one's food and get a detailed report on the nutrients in one's diet after registering with TFA, which requires basic characteristics such as weight, height, and their individual fitness goals such as weight loss, muscle building and maintenance.
Nutrition experts at TFA say that basic information allows the team of experts to draft a fitness plan for the user and accurately determine their daily quota of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
"The process of registering and using the facility is made convenient with a unique aspect that allows one to send the pictures of one's food and get a detailed report on the nutrients in one's diet. A team of nutrition experts that readily analyzes every meal is highly active on Whatsapp round the clock. A short description of the meal and the portion size when sending a photo helps nutritionists to analyse the food and to convert it into nutritional information correctly," say nutrition experts at TFA.
The analyst analyses each meal, calculate its macro content, and send a report to the user in real time.
The report tells the user about the nutrients consumed and what is left to reach the target of being fit.
