How to Decide What to Eat

Meal decision fatigue is real. After a long day, choosing what to eat can feel overwhelming. Our AI meal suggester simplifies this by considering your remaining nutrition budget and suggesting balanced options.

The key to making good meal decisions is knowing where you stand nutritionally. If you have already had a high-carb breakfast and lunch, a protein-rich dinner makes sense. If you are low on calories, you have room for a more substantial meal.

1

Know Your Budget

Track what you have eaten to know how many calories and macros remain.

2

Consider Balance

Choose meals that complement what you have already eaten today.

3

Stay Flexible

Use suggestions as a guide. Adapt based on what you have available.

Eating for Your Macros

Macro-based eating focuses on hitting specific targets for protein, carbohydrates, and fat rather than just counting calories. This approach can help with body composition, energy levels, and overall nutrition quality.

Protein

Essential for muscle maintenance and repair. Aim for 0.7-1g per pound of body weight for most active people. Distribute throughout the day.

Carbohydrates

Your body's preferred energy source. Amount depends on activity level. Focus on whole grains, fruits, and vegetables for fiber and nutrients.

Fat

Essential for hormone production and nutrient absorption. Aim for 0.3-0.5g per pound of body weight. Prioritize healthy sources like olive oil, nuts, and avocados.

Pro tip: Do not stress about hitting exact macro numbers every day. Aim for weekly averages and focus on consistency over perfection.

Meal Timing and Nutrition

While total daily intake is the most important factor, meal timing can optimize your energy and performance. Here is how to think about each meal:

🌅 Breakfast

Break your overnight fast with protein and complex carbs for sustained energy. Include fiber to keep you full until lunch.

☀️ Lunch

A balanced meal to power through the afternoon. Include protein, carbs, and vegetables. Avoid heavy meals that cause afternoon slumps.

🌙 Dinner

Complete your daily nutrition goals. Can be lighter if you have had substantial meals earlier, or more substantial if you have room in your budget.

🍎 Snacks

Strategic snacks prevent overeating at meals and maintain energy. Protein-rich snacks are often most satisfying.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI meal suggester work?

Our AI calculates your remaining daily calorie and macro budget based on what you have already eaten. It then generates 3-4 meal suggestions that fit within your remaining budget, considering the meal type and any preferences you specify.

What is the difference between Quick Mode and Detailed Mode?

Quick Mode only requires your daily calorie target and calories consumed - the AI estimates macros for you. Detailed Mode lets you input specific macro targets, describe what you have eaten today, add preferences, and specify available ingredients.

How accurate are the meal macro estimates?

The AI provides estimates based on standard portions and nutritional data. While not exact, they are accurate enough for practical meal planning. For precise tracking, use a food scale and nutrition labels.

Can I get new suggestions if I do not like the options?

Yes! Click the Shuffle button to get a new set of 3-4 meal suggestions. The AI will generate different options while still respecting your remaining budget and preferences.

Should I eat exactly what the AI suggests?

The suggestions are meant as inspiration and guidance. Feel free to modify portions or swap ingredients based on what you have available. The goal is to help you make informed decisions.

Why does meal timing matter for nutrition?

While total daily intake matters most, meal timing can affect energy levels, workout performance, and satiety. Protein distribution throughout the day may benefit muscle protein synthesis. The AI considers meal type to suggest appropriate foods.
