Nutrition Facts & Calorie Information

8738 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22309

62items analyzed
"Overall this menu leans toward bulking/maintenance — lots of calorie-dense starchy dishes (jollof, waakye, fufu, rice, plantain) and several fried items. For cutting: choose Tilapia (145 kcal) with a side of potato leaves or salad and skip fried sides and large portions of starch. For bulking: go with Plain Jollof (1400 kcal) or a hearty Waakye with fried chicken (or the 1/2&1/2 Waakye & Jollof) to hit high calories and carbs."
