AfriCal is the first AI-powered calorie tracker built specifically for African food. Other calorie apps don't know your food. Try searching for egusi soup in MyFitnessPal โ€” good luck. AfriCal was built to solve that problem. SNAP A PHOTO. GET INSTANT RESULTS. Just point your camera at any meal โ€” jollof rice, fufu and light soup, injera with kitfo, suya, bobotie, couscous โ€” and AfriCal's AI instantly identifies the dish and estimates calories, protein, carbs, and fats. No more manual searching through foreign food databases. AFRICAN DISHES RECOGNIZED From West African classics like pounded yam, egusi soup, amala, moi moi, and akara to East African staples like ugali, nyama choma, chapati, and pilau. Southern African favorites like biltong, pap, and chakalaka. North African dishes like tagine, shakshuka, and falafel. Plus everyday foods from around the world. PERSONALIZED NUTRITION PLANS Answer a quick quiz about your goals, activity level, and lifestyle. AfriCal builds a custom daily calorie and macro target just for you โ€” whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or simply eat smarter. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Beautiful daily calorie ring shows your progress at a glance. Track protein, carbs, and fats. Build streaks to stay consistent. See real results in weeks.

Below it, live tiles surface everything that matters: โ€ข Steps, distance, average speed, and current walking speed โ€ข Calories burned and goal progress โ€ข Elevation gained and lost, from the barometer โ€ข A "since midnight" activity breakdown โ€” walking, running, stationary, sleeping, driving โ€ข Current streak with the classic fire icon โ€ข Milestone seals at 2.5k, 5k, 7.5k, 10k, 15k, and 20k steps TRENDS THAT ACTUALLY TELL A STORY Beautifully animated bar charts across four ranges โ€” Week, Month, 6 Months, and Year โ€” with a goal line, best-day trophy, and a side-by-side comparison against the previous period.
