Plan meals without the decision fatigue
Quick answer: Ask the AI for a short weekly plan using foods you already like, with one shopping list grouped by supermarket aisle.
The problem
Deciding what to eat every day is exhausting, so you end up skipping meals or ordering takeaway.
Copy, paste, go
Low-effort week
Make a 5-dinner plan using foods I like: [LIST]. Each meal under 20 minutes with few dishes. Reuse ingredients. Then give one shopping list grouped by supermarket section.
What can I make now?
I have: [WHAT'S IN THE FRIDGE]. Give me 3 meals I could make in 15 minutes.
