The gap
Generic calorie apps don't speak your food's language.
Search "Egusi" in a typical tracker and you get nothing — or a wild guess. AfroCal was built on real African dishes, real portions, and real nutrition data.
The old way
Piecing together "melon seeds + spinach + palm oil" and hoping the math works. Nobody keeps that up past week one.
The AfroCal way
Take a photo. AI identifies the dish and portion, then returns calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds.
Or just type it
"Small bowl of pepper soup" is a valid entry. The database understands how African food is actually eaten.
