How it works
Why S8D
Every plan is computed fresh for your body, your goals, and your food preferences. Here's what happens when you tap "Generate":
Using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the gold standard for metabolic rate — combined with your age, sex, weight, height, and activity level. Adjusted for your goal (maintain, lose, or gain).
Mifflin et al. 1990, Am J Clin Nutr
Every vitamin and mineral has a floor (RDA) and a ceiling (UL) customized for your sex and age. These come directly from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements — the same data your doctor uses.

Food composition data comes from USDA FoodData Central — the US government's most comprehensive food database. Every nutrient value is lab-measured, not estimated.

A real constrained optimizer finds the combination of ingredients that hits every nutrient target simultaneously — protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and 28 vitamins & minerals — while minimizing your shopping list. Not a template. Not a lookup table. Real math.
The solver puts as much nutrition as possible into a single blendable recipe. Fruits and greens for flavor and micronutrients, seeds for omega-3s, protein powder for the protein floor. Snacks fill the gaps. Cooked food is a last resort.
Beyond individual nutrients, the solver's output is analyzed for key ratios: calcium-to-magnesium, zinc-to-copper, potassium-to-sodium, omega-6-to-omega-3. These competitive-absorption relationships affect how well your body actually uses what you eat.
