Company Summary

Hungry Tribe is first and foremost a nutritional science company. We provide a level of abstraction to bridge complex nutritional research and everyday eating. Our goal is to make diets as effortless as possible, asking people not to change their behaviors or where they eat, just the food they eat. By recommending restaurant dishes, recipes and branded foods, we allow people to maintain their current eating habits while making healthier choice
