The HealthifyMeter Gender Watch Report 2017 compiles data from more than 1.5 million people, across 197,694 locations and over 60 million food logs. This report gives an idea as to how healthy the country is.  

A startling insight provided by this report is that women are far behind when it comes to the ideal consumption of Proteins, Fats and Carbohydrates which is  20:30:50. Thus, giving India yet another reason to put #HerHealthFirst.

Data shows that there is a 13% difference in the consumption of proteins by women when compared to men.
