What it actually is

A website your household logs into, with your week laid out like this.

No download, no spreadsheet. Every day is broken into slots. Fill in what you've eaten, leave the rest for later, and the calculator keeps score in the background.

A real week, not a template. Swap any slot, scale any portion, or leave a gap for the calculator to fill.

What you get

Everything dinner needs. Nothing a spreadsheet used to do.

Built around how a real week of eating actually goes.

Your exact targets

Answer a few questions once and get a personal calorie and macro target. No guessing.

A real weekly plan

Pick meals for every slot from a proper meal library, and swap anything, any day.

Portion scaling, built in

Scale any meal from a quarter to five times its size. Macros and ingredients scale with it.

Shopping list, done for you

Every ingredient across your week, added up into one list, ready before you shop.

Week-to-date, not just today

See your running total against your weekly budget, so one big day doesn't derail the week.

Under target? One tap fixes it

Fill-the-gap splits what's left across your empty slots, or tops up what you've already eaten.

Snack whenever you need to

Add extra slots any day. Your plan isn't limited to five meals if hunger says otherwise.

Built for the whole house

Everyone gets their own targets, plan and progress. One account, several people.

How it works

Started in three steps

01

Tell us about you

Height, weight, activity and goal. Your targets are set the moment you're done.

02

Build your week

Pick meals per slot, swap what you don't feel like, and scale portions to fit.

03

Track as you go

Tick off meals, watch the week-to-date bar move, and shop from the list it built for you.

Questions

Good to know before you start

Is this an app I need to install?

No, it's a website. Open it in any browser, on your phone or computer, and add it to your home screen if you like.

How do I get my calorie and macro targets?

Answer a few questions about your height, weight, activity and goal, and the calculator sets them for you. No manual maths.

Can more than one person use it?

Yes. Everyone in the household gets their own targets, their own plan and their own progress.

What if I go over on one day?

Week-to-date compares your running total to your running budget, so one big day doesn't undo the week.

What if I don't like what's on the plan?

Swap any slot at any time, scale portions up or down, or add an extra snack slot whenever you need to.

Is my data private?

Yes. Each account is password-protected, and only you and the people you invite can see your plan.
