Most of this is also where it takes effect: portions, meals, eating style, preferences, restrictions and energy requirement above the week, the pantry on the shopping list. Here it is all in one place.
Household
Ingredient amounts in the weekly plan and on the shopping list are scaled to this. It can be changed per entry.
Plans
A second plan for the grandparents, the weekend at the cottage or the office: its own week, its own portions, its own meals, its own eating style and, if you like, its own energy requirement. The shopping list can shop for several plans at once.
Meals
The meals you usually plan: every week shows these rows and “Roll the week” fills them. A meal with entries is always shown.
Eating style
How the week is rolled: the share of meals that should be vegan, vegetarian or with meat and fish. The sum is scaled to 100 %. The dish catalogue pre-filters accordingly — individual dishes always remain selectable.
10 % vegan · 40 % vegetarian · 50 % meat & fish
Preferences
What kind of dishes the week draws first. Several possible; with none selected everything counts equally. The catalogue offers the same filters.
Always at home
Ingredients you never need to buy. They only appear collapsed on the shopping list under “You probably have”.
Nothing marked
Restrictions
Hard exclusions: dishes that do not fit are not offered at all when rolling, in the catalogue or in the picker. Low carb and keto are tagged by hand; gluten-free, lactose-free and no alcohol derive from the ingredients — with the same caveat as the allergen data: check the packaging.
Energy requirement (optional)
For the reference line in the week chart. Four inputs, computed after Mifflin-St Jeor times an activity factor — a rough figure for healthy adults, not a recommendation. Stays in this browser; a backup file includes it.
A calorie target is something to discuss with a doctor or dietitian — especially with under- or overweight, eating disorders, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in illness, and for children and adolescents, for whom the formula does not apply. The app shows a computed figure, nothing more.
Notes on eating styles
Whether an eating style suits you is not something this app can judge. Talk to your doctor or a dietitian before changing your diet permanently — especially with pre-existing conditions, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for children and older people. A restriction in the plan is a preference, not medical advice.
- Vegan: vitamin B12 must be supplemented; keep an eye on iron, iodine, calcium, zinc, omega-3 and enough protein.
- Vegetarian: watch iron and B12 if few dairy products and eggs are eaten.
- Meat-heavy: lots of red and processed meat goes with more saturated fat and salt and less fibre.
- Low carb: less fibre from wholegrains and pulses; check first for endurance sport and with diabetes medication.
- Keto: very strict, with medical supervision; initial complaints (“keto flu”), kidney stones and raised blood lipids are described, long-term effects little researched; not with certain metabolic, liver or kidney conditions.
- Gluten-free without coeliac disease or an intolerance brings no benefit and often less fibre.
- Lactose-free: cover calcium and vitamin B2 from other sources then.
- Calorie figures are estimates from the ingredients (Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel 4.0); the reference line is a formula value for healthy adults. Have goals for losing or gaining weight checked by a doctor.
