How Mealody works

From household
to dinner table.

Three steps, end to end. Once you've set the household up, every plan after takes about a minute.

01

Set up your household

Tell us who eats — once.

Each person gets a profile: age, weight, goal, activity, diet, preferences, dislikes, allergies, and medical conditions. Mealody uses all of it to calculate per-person calorie and macro targets and to tailor every meal that follows.

  • Five goals supported: lose weight, maintain, build muscle, healthy growth (kids), general health.
  • Diet types: omnivore, vegetarian, vegan — plus a child mode with kid-appropriate macros.
  • Allergies and dislikes are treated as hard constraints — Mealody never plans them.
  • Medical conditions (iron deficiency, diabetes, hypertension, etc.) feed into nutrient priorities so the plan supports, not fights, what you're managing.

Generate the plan

One plan, balanced for everyone at once.

Pick anywhere from 1 to 10 days. Mealody's AI builds breakfast, lunch, and dinner across the window — each meal scaled per member, no recipe repeated, optional batch-cook mode that aligns Sunday prep to the week ahead.

  • Per-meal calorie and macro split for every household member, simultaneously.
  • Fridge mode: list what you have, Mealody uses it first and removes it from the shopping list.
  • Batch-cook toggle: get two templates Mealody alternates across the week to minimize prep.

Shop and prep together

One grocery list. One prep day.

Mealody consolidates every meal into a categorized shopping list — quantities merged, fridge items subtracted — then a prep guide that batches what makes sense, with timing and storage notes for the week.

  • Items grouped by aisle: produce, protein, pantry, dairy, grains, frozen.
  • Prep tasks ordered by efficiency, not by recipe — chop once, cook once.
  • Storage notes per item, so day-five lunch tastes as good as day one.
