3. Review your Nutritional Parameters
Look over the Meal Planner's initial assessment of your parameters and nutritional needs.
- Does it seem about right? The program makes mistakes so if it does not look right, ask the program to double check it's calculations.
4. Generate your first day of meals
The program becomes less accurate if asked to make more than 2 to 3 days of meals at a time.
- Ask it to generate the first day of meals...how do they look?
- Double check nutritional targets, as set at the outset, are being met. If not, it may explain why and how to correct them. But if it seems to have missed the target, ask it to try again and be sure the nutritional target is achieve. For example, did the menu for the day provide the correct amount of protein over the course of the day?
- If there is something you do not like or does not make sense, ask the program to revise it. But the program is trying to build you nutritious meals full of anti-oxidants, plant-based proteins and healthy fats. Don't stray too much from the programing. But if you don't understand the measurement of an ingredient, for example, you can ask the program to present the measure in a different way.
5. Geneate Days 2-4 of meals
Do Day 1's meals look good?
- If so, ask the program to generate days 2 to 4; look them over - do they seem about right?
6. Generate Days 5-7 and if you want, pictures
The week's menu is almost complete!
- You can also ask the program to make you a picture of what a single serving of any meal will look like.
- The program can only efficiently generate 1 picture at a time and each picture takes a few minutes, so pick and chose. But make as many pictures as you want! Pictures make cooking the recipes more fun because you can see what you are making.
- Tell the program to "Create a high fidelity picture of a single serving of ... meal"
7. Generate a shopping list for the week
Time to make your shopping list.
- Copy this information and paste it into the "Ask anything" box, then push enter.
8. And so on...
Now, you can continue the above pattern for weeks to come.
- If you leave the session, you will have to start again, entering all your personal information.
- But that is well worth the high quality healthy meal planning you get for the effort!
9. Finally, print your meal plan
Time to print your Personalized Meal Plan.
- Simply copy all your generated content and paste it into a word file. You can reformat it a bit if you'd like. Then print, shop, cook and enjoy!
