About Ilera

Ilera helps people in Nigeria and the UK eat well on their own terms — with plans built from local food, grounded in cited data and real local prices.

Who it's for

Ilera is for adults in Nigeria and for the UK and wider African diaspora who want to eat healthily without giving up the food they grew up on. Whether the goal is losing weight, gaining it, or simply eating better on a budget, the plan starts from dishes you already cook and prices you actually pay.

How we source our numbers

Every dish's macros (calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat) are computed from its ingredients using published nutrition data — the USDA FoodData Central database and the West African Food Composition Table. Nothing is a guessed total. Prices are dated estimates collected from local markets and move with the market over time; we show them in your region's currency so a plan reflects your real grocery budget.

Editorial note

Our guides and dish pages are written and maintained by the Ilera team. Ilera provides general information to help you plan meals — it is not medical or dietary advice, and it isn't a substitute for a doctor or a registered dietitian. If you have a health condition such as diabetes, please work with a professional before changing how you eat. See our health disclaimer.
