Meal Planner

In our daily lives, meal planning can be a daunting task. Between the demands of work, family, and other activities, finding the time and energy to plan, shop for, and prepare healthy meals can seem impossible.

This is a proof of concept for an application that not only helps me easily organize my weekly meals but also offers recipes and automatically generates shopping lists.

Choosing seasonal fruits and vegetables not only guarantees better prices and taste but also contributes to a more nutritious and varied diet. Preparing meals the night before allows you to efficiently link your meals together, ensuring you always have healthy options at hand. Meal planning not only helps maintain a balanced diet but also significantly reduces the stress of deciding what to eat each day. Ultimately, meal prep is an effective strategy to improve your overall well-being, as it saves time and money, promotes healthy eating habits, and reduces the anxiety related to daily meal preparation.

Goals

  • Time-saving: Facilitate the planning and preparation of meals for the entire week.
  • Promotion of healthy eating: Offer balanced recipes and portion control.
  • Reduction of food waste: Optimize the use of ingredients to minimize waste.
  • Customization: Adapt to the dietary needs and preferences of the family.
  • User-friendly design: Create an easy-to-use and accessible interface.

I enjoy cooking for them. 🙂
