How accurate are the calorie numbers?

Each meal carries a typical calorie estimate for a standard portion. Real values vary with ingredients and serving size, so treat the totals as a guide and adjust portions to hit your exact target.

What does the diet filter actually do?

It restricts the meal pool to dishes tagged for your chosen diet. Vegan excludes all animal products, vegetarian allows dairy and eggs, pescatarian adds fish, and keto favours low-carb, higher-fat options.

Why does Shuffle change the whole week?

Shuffle reseeds the planner so it draws a new combination of meals for all seven days at once. The same seed always produces the same plan, so a given shuffle is reproducible until you press it again.

Can I hit an exact calorie number every day?

Not exactly — meals come in fixed estimates, so daily totals land near your target rather than on it. Days within about 250 calories of your goal are marked as on-target; adjust portions or snacks to close any gap.

Is this medical or dietary advice?

No. This is a convenience planner for general meal ideas, not personalised nutrition advice. Consult a registered dietitian or doctor for medical conditions, allergies, or specific health goals.

A full week of meals in one click

Planning seven days of food is tedious; this builder does it instantly. Choose a diet and a daily calorie target, and it assembles a balanced week of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and optional snacks, with calories totalled for every day. Shuffle as many times as you like until a week looks appealing, then copy it straight into your notes or grocery list.

How it works

The planner holds a curated library of real meals, each tagged with a calorie estimate, a meal slot (breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack), and the diets it suits. When you pick a diet, the tool filters the library down to matching meals only. It then fills each day by drawing one option per slot from the relevant pool using a seeded random generator, so the same shuffle always reproduces the same week.

For every day it sums the chosen meals’ calories and compares the total to your target. Days landing within roughly 250 calories of your goal are flagged as on-target. The weekly average shows whether the plan as a whole is tracking near your intended intake.

Tips and example

Set the diet to keto with a target of 1800 and a daily snack, then shuffle a few times. You will see low-carb dishes like steak salad and zucchini noodles with pesto, with most days landing close to the target. If totals run high, switch off the snack or pick a shuffle whose days sit under your goal. Because portion sizes are not fixed in reality, treat the numbers as a starting framework and scale servings up or down to match your needs.
