Introducing Indigenous Meal Scan: Track Jollof, Banku & More

By

MacroMeals app scanning a plate of jollof rice to estimate its nutrition and macros

Most nutrition apps were built around Western menus, leaving millions of people unable to accurately track the meals they grew up with. Today that changes. We're thrilled to launch Indigenous Meal Scan — intelligent tracking designed for Ghanaian and Nigerian cuisine.

Foods built for your plate

From jollof rice and banku to egusi soup and waakye, MacroMeals now recognizes the dishes that matter to you. Point your camera at your plate and get an instant macro estimate — no manual searching through databases that never had your meal in the first place.

How it works

  • Open the scanner and capture your meal.
  • Our model identifies the dish and estimates portion size.
  • Review the macro breakdown and log it in one tap.

And if the scan isn't perfect, our new Fix Scan Results feature lets you adjust the meal name, portion, and nutrition data instantly — so your log stays accurate and your insights stay meaningful.

Nutrition tracking should reflect the way the world actually eats. This is a big step toward that vision.
