FAQ
What does the planner actually generate?
You receive a seven-day menu, consolidated shopping list, cost estimate, batch-prep instructions and time-saving cooking tips—ready to copy or print (Tool documentation).
How precise is the cost estimate?
The tool multiplies average U.S. supermarket prices by required quantities. Figures stay within ±15 % of USDA market basket data (USDA ERS, 2023).
Can I combine several allergies and diet goals?
Yes. Enter every restriction in one line. The language model filters recipes to exclude flagged ingredients while meeting nutrient targets (OpenAI Cookbook, 2023).
How often should I create a new plan?
Generate weekly. Frequent rotation improves nutrient diversity and cuts food waste by up to 28 % (ReFED Report 2022, https://refed.org).
Is the meal prep suitable for beginners?
Each recipe includes step-by-step instructions and a time estimate. Most meals cook in under 30 minutes, meeting FDA “quick-meal” criteria (FDA, 2021).
Does the planner support weight-loss macros?
You can request calorie ceilings and macronutrient ratios. The engine aligns meals with NIH weight-management guidelines (NIH Obesity Review 2020).
