Ideas
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack. For today.
Ideas is Dietrack’s meal planner. It suggests breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack that can take your inventory, dietary preferences, allergies, cuisines, and remaining calories and macros into account. It is a day of cards, not a week on a calendar.
Free to download on iOS and Android.
Most “AI planners” are a calendar with recipes pasted in.
The plan never met your fridge
A seven-day grid that ignores the chicken you already bought is just another shopping list.
Targets sit in a different app
If the meal idea cannot see remaining protein or calories, you do the maths by hand at 7pm.
Refresh means the same chicken again
Skip reasons and a daily refresh cap exist so the day can change without becoming an infinite slot machine.
Perfect on Sunday, unused by Wednesday
Dietrack does not currently sell a locked week you are supposed to obey. You generate for today.
Ideas is the day layer. The kitchen is still the source.
What happens when you tap generate.
Normal Ideas generation expects a stocked kitchen. Empty kitchens get an honest empty state, not a fantasy menu.
Context
Kitchen plus the goal you set
Inventory, quantities, and use-soon items can shape ideas. So can dietary preferences, allergies, cuisines, and remaining macros from today’s logs. Wearable data does not automatically raise your calorie target.
Day
Slots, not a week grid
Target about eight suggestions per refresh (two across four slots), with a featured meal for the current slot. You can show more in a slot. Up to three successful refreshes per day.
Review
Heart, skip, or ask Nia
Favourite a meal. Skip with a reason (prep, missing food, mood, goals, allergy). There is no one-tap “swap only this card” on Ideas. Nia can be asked for an alternative. Nia chat is Dietrack Pro.
Numbers
Estimates that follow servings
Calories and macros display per meal and scale when you change servings. Log the meal to count it on Today. Generating is not logging.
The Ideas rules, stated plainly.
Prefers owned food
Default generation prefers inventory. It is allowed to include missing ingredients and will label them.
Aims at remaining targets
Daily calorie and macro goals, and what you already logged today, can influence what comes back.
Three refreshes
A daily cap. Remaining refreshes are shown. It is not unlimited recipe generation.
Pro after a try
AI Ideas are Dietrack Pro after a small free generate. Manual kitchen and manual logging stay free.
