The Problem We Set Out to Solve

If you've ever tried to track your nutrition while eating Caribbean food, you know the struggle. Most calorie tracking apps are built around Western diets—they know everything about a Big Mac but draw a blank when you search for oxtail stew or doubles.

We experienced this frustration firsthand. Searching for "curry goat" would return generic results that didn't account for the specific spices, cooking methods, and portion sizes common in Caribbean cooking. Ackee and saltfish? Forget about it.

Why CarriFit is Different

CarriFit was built from the ground up with Caribbean cuisine in mind. Our database includes over 10,000 dishes from across the Caribbean, including:

  • Jamaican classics like jerk chicken, curry goat, and ackee and saltfish

  • Trinidadian favorites such as doubles, roti, and pelau

  • Barbadian dishes including cou-cou and flying fish

  • Haitian cuisine like griot, diri ak djon djon, and pikliz

  • And so much more from Guyana, St. Lucia, Grenada, and beyond


Each entry has been carefully researched to provide accurate nutritional information that reflects how these dishes are actually prepared in Caribbean kitchens.

AI-Powered Photo Recognition

We know that logging every meal can be tedious. That's why we built AI photo recognition directly into CarriFit. Simply snap a photo of your plate, and our AI will identify the dishes and estimate portions.

Our AI has been trained specifically on Caribbean food, so it can distinguish between curry chicken and curry goat, or recognize the difference between Jamaican rice and peas versus Trinidadian pelau.

What's Next

This is just the beginning. We're constantly expanding our database, improving our AI, and adding new features based on your feedback. Some things we're working on:

  • Meal planning with Caribbean recipes

  • Integration with fitness trackers

  • Community features to share recipes and tips

  • Restaurant menu scanning


Join Us on This Journey

CarriFit is more than an app—it's a movement to make nutrition tracking accessible for everyone, regardless of their cultural background. We believe that eating healthy shouldn't mean abandoning the foods you love.
