Our story

A little more understanding.

Why Busog starts with Filipino everyday meals.

Pleasantly full.

Busog is Filipino for pleasantly full. It is the feeling after a meal that fits the moment: rice on the plate, a familiar ulam, something shared. That feeling is where Busog starts.

Most nutrition apps ask you to understand their database before they understand your lunch. Busog starts at the carinderia counter instead: point at what you are eating, and the numbers follow.

Familiar does not mean identical.

Adobo changes from kitchen to kitchen, and a cup of rice changes from household to household. So every dish in Busog is an explicit ingredient list, with weights, USDA source records and the math open for you to check. You decide whether it matches your plate, and you adjust the grams when it doesn’t.

Three ways to reach the same plate.

Turo-turo, photo logging and USDA search or barcode lookup all land in the same diary. A small mark shows where each entry came from, and every path uses the same numbers.

Made for the way we eat.

Busog is built for rice, ulam and merienda first, and works just as well for oatmeal, pasta and tacos. Switch the region in settings and the names, meals and suggestions follow.

Come as you eat.
