How it works

From a one-minute form to a full week of meals.

There’s no learning curve. You answer a few questions, the AI does the planning, and you walk out with meals and a shopping list. Here’s what happens at each step.

  1. 1

    You tell us your goals

    A short form, not a survey: your goal, a daily food budget, foods to avoid, your dietary style, and how many meals a day you want. Most people finish it in about a minute.

  2. 2

    The AI builds your week

    MealPlanAI drafts seven days of meals that fit those inputs at once — balancing variety, your calorie range, and your budget — and labels each meal with a rough calorie count.

  3. 3

    You get one shopping list

    Ingredients from every meal are merged into a single list and grouped by aisle, so you buy each thing once instead of making a second trip mid-week.

  4. 4

    You adjust and regenerate

    Change a number, add a food to avoid, or ask for a different day — and regenerate. The plan reshuffles to respect the new constraint while keeping the rest intact.

What you give it

Five inputs, and that’s the whole form.

Your goal
Lose weight, build muscle, eat on a budget, or just eat more balanced meals. This sets the rough calorie target and the balance of each day.
Daily budget
A number you’re comfortable spending on food per day. The week is written to land near it.
Foods to avoid
Allergies and dislikes — peanuts, shellfish, dairy, whatever it is. These are kept out of every meal.
Dietary style
None, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, keto, paleo, Mediterranean, halal, or kosher. Treated as a hard rule.
Meals per day
From one to a few, including snacks, so the plan matches how you actually eat.

How plans adapt

It re-plans as your week changes.

A meal plan only helps if it survives contact with real life. Tell it you’re traveling Thursday, or that the budget dropped this week, or that you’re suddenly off dairy, and regenerate — the plan rebuilds around the new constraint instead of making you start over.

Every plan you generate saves to your account, so you can reopen a week you liked and reuse it, or print it for the fridge.

Before you can save a plan

Accounts, and the one email we’ll send.

To save and revisit plans you’ll create an account once registration opens. Signing up sends a single six-digit verification code to the email you enter, confirming it’s yours before the account activates. A password reset sends a code the same way. Both are transactional — there’s no marketing list, and you can opt out on the unsubscribe page. Until launch, no accounts exist and no codes are being sent.
