Common Questions About the Meal Planner

How does the meal planner work?

Select your diet type (like keto or vegetarian), set your daily calorie goal, choose how many meals per day you want, and optionally set dietary restrictions (gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.). Click "Generate Meal Plan" and instantly receive a personalized weekly plan with complete nutritional breakdown and a consolidated grocery list.

Can I really use this for free?

Absolutely! This tool is 100% free with no limits. Generate unlimited meal plans, save your favorites, and export them in any format. No credit card required, no premium tiers, no hidden costs.

How accurate is the calorie counting?

Our algorithm matches your calorie goal within ±100 calories using smart meal selection. We use proportional distribution (30% breakfast, 35% lunch, 35% dinner) with a greedy fallback optimization to ensure accuracy while maintaining nutritional balance.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

We support gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and soy-free diets. All 500+ recipes are accurately tagged using comprehensive keyword detection. You can select multiple restrictions, and only recipes meeting all your requirements will appear in your meal plan.

Can I customize my meal plan after generating it?

Yes! Use the "Swap This Meal" button on any meal card to see alternative recipes. Each swap maintains your dietary preferences and automatically updates the nutritional totals and grocery list.

Do I need to create an account?

No account required! You can use the meal planner anonymously. If you want to save your meal plans for later, they're stored locally in your browser with an optional cloud save feature.

What diet types do you support?

We support 8 popular diets: Balanced (general healthy eating), Vegetarian, Vegan, Keto (low-carb high-fat), Paleo, Mediterranean, High-Protein, and Low-Fat. Each has 60+ recipes tailored to its specific macronutrient profile.

How do I get my grocery list?

Every generated meal plan automatically includes a consolidated grocery list with specific ingredient quantities (e.g., "Quinoa (1 cup cooked)"). You can print it, download as PDF, or export to CSV for your smartphone.
