Ranora, a Calorie Tracker That Starts With Arabic Food

Field notes

Ranora’s nutrition model combines body measurements, activity level, and goals, then recalculates targets when a user records a new measurement. Its food catalogue is being assembled around locally recognizable dishes: the page gives chicken kabsa a 320-gram serving and 612-calorie value, rather than collapsing it into a generic cooked-rice entry. The site reports 66 Arabic items entered by hand and provides account-deletion and privacy links, while acknowledging that no public release is available yet.
