The First 9-EAA + IFCT 2017 Tracker for Indian Nutrition

The Only Protein Tracker
That Shows What Actually Builds
Muscle.

Finally, a nutrition tracker that understands Indian food and goes beyond grams.

Every protein tracker on your phone is giving you the wrong number. Indian grains lack Lysine, and pulses lack Methionine. Without both, up to 40% of your protein is oxidized as waste — never reaching your muscles. Amino AI tracks all 9 Essential Amino Acids so you know exactly what's driving muscle recovery, fat loss, and real fitness gains from your dal-roti-curd thali.

🛑 Liebig Bottleneck: Because Methionine is low, your liver oxidizes excess amino acids as waste. Pair grain with dal or dairy.

The Liebig Barrel Problem

Just like a wooden barrel only holds water up to its shortest stave, muscle protein synthesis is capped by the lowest essential amino acid in your meal. This is why plain dal or plain roti leaves protein on the table — a principle measured internationally using PDCAAS and DIAAS protein quality scores.

Visual Proof

Why Grain + Dal = 100% BV

Lys ?Grain Alone+Met ?Dal Alone=100% Complete

Grains (roti, rice) are rich in Methionine but short on Lysine. Pulses (dal, rajma) are rich in Lysine but short on Methionine. Paired together, their amino profiles perfectly complement — achieving a combined DIAAS score of ~0.78 (close to whole eggs), a principle Indian cuisine discovered centuries before food science did.

⚠️
Cereals & Grains

High Met, Low Lys

Roti, Rice, and Oats provide Methionine but lack Lysine (often only 35–45% of human requirement). Eaten alone, muscle protein synthesis stalls at the Lysine stave — your body can't hit the leucine threshold needed to trigger muscle growth.

⚠️
Pulses & Legumes

High Lys, Low Met

Moong Dal, Chana, Rajma are rich in Lysine but low in Methionine. Eaten alone, up to 40% of their crude protein is oxidized as urea — wasted, never reaching your muscles for recovery or fat loss.

Why Generic Trackers Fail Indians

Counting calories is easy. Counting the 9 amino acids that actually determine whether your protein becomes muscle or gets oxidized as waste — that requires purpose-built Indian food science. Read the full breakdown in our Indian Protein Audit.

Why I Built Amino AI

Arya Aayush, Founder

When I tracked my dal-roti dinner with a popular fitness app, it said 18g of usable protein. When I ran the amino acid math against ICMR-NIN IFCT 2017 data, only 11g was actually complete — the rest was being oxidized as waste because of a Lysine bottleneck. That invisible 7g gap, repeated across every meal, every day, is why most Indian vegetarians plateau despite eating "enough protein." I built Amino AI to close that gap with real biochemistry, not guesswork.
