I started Mealcent because I was tired of feeling invisible to my own nutrition app.
I grew up eating jollof rice, egusi, plantain, suya — food that carries family, memory, and weeknights. When I opened almost any nutrition app, those meals didn't exist. They were a missing database entry, a generic substitute, or a number someone in another country had guessed at.
Millions of people around the world experience this every day. Their cuisines, their bodies, their realities — quietly left out of the technology that is supposed to help them eat better.
I believe AI should adapt to human culture, not force humans into a narrow set of categories. Real nutrition intelligence should understand you — where you come from, how you cook on a Tuesday, what your body needs this season.
Mealcent is still early. We are building it carefully, with a small group of founding members who believe what we believe and want to shape what comes next. You will see what we ship. You will tell us when we get it wrong. You will help decide what comes after that.
If any of this sounds like something you've felt — welcome. There is a seat for you at this table.
