The problem
Most AI recipe generators give you the recipe — and a 30-item shopping list.
“Just type your ingredients”
Then you have to type your ingredients. Every time. With quantities. The novelty wears off by Tuesday.
A recipe that needs eight things you don't have
The AI doesn't know what's in the cupboard. So the suggestion ends up at the supermarket.
A recipe that takes ninety minutes
“AI generated” is rarely “AI knows it's a Tuesday”.
The same five ideas over and over
Without context, the same prompts return the same five recipes.
A recipe with one weird allergen
A nut, a shellfish, a dairy thing — the AI didn't know to avoid it.
The promise
A recipe generator that respects your kitchen, your time, and your goal.
Dietrack is an AI recipe generator from ingredients you already have. Snap your fridge or pantry once and the generator works from your real inventory — so the suggestions don't ask you to buy four extra things. Set a time budget, a calorie target, or a “no nuts” rule, and the AI sticks to it. Get one good recipe in seconds, not five generic ones in five tabs.
How it works
Four steps. One recipe. No tabs.
Snap
Snap or list what you have
Or just open the camera at the fridge.

Constrain
Set the constraints
“20 minutes, no oven, low carb.” Or leave it open.

Generate
Get a recipe you can actually cook
One good idea. Steps, time, calories, macros. Not five tabs of “or you could also try…”.

Swap
Cook it (or swap it)
Don't fancy it? One tap for an alternate that uses the same ingredients.

The generator
Generation that respects what you have.
Recipes from real ingredients
The generator reads your pantry first. Suggestions don't quietly require eight extra things. Pair it with the meal planner from ingredients.
Time + tool constraints
“20 minutes, one pan.” The recipe stays in scope.
Allergen + diet rules respected
Nuts off. Dairy off. Gluten off. Vegetarian on. Set once.
Expiry-first ranking
Recipes using about-to-turn ingredients come first. Powered by your pantry inventory.
One-tap swaps
Don't fancy it? Get an alternate using the same ingredients.
and one more thing
Recipes that come with the numbers.
The tracker
Recipe → tracked meal, automatically.
Calorie estimates per recipe
Estimated, not exact, but good enough to coach by. Logs to the calorie tracker.
Macro estimates per recipe
Protein, carbs, fat — by serving.
Cook → log automatically
Mark the recipe cooked; it lands in your day.
Save it for later
Liked it? It joins your “yours” tab.
Share without the blog post
A clean shareable card — no scroll past the “I grew up in Tuscany” preamble.
Who it's for
One recipe, in the time you've got.
THE WEEKNIGHT
For “give me one good idea”
Stop bouncing between five recipe tabs. Tell Dietrack what you have, get one recipe you can cook in the time you've got. Calories, macros, and steps included.
THE LEFTOVERS
For Wednesday's leftovers
A recipe for the half a chicken and the rice.
THE GUEST
For “people are coming over”
A recipe that scales to four — using what you have, not what you wish you had.
THE BUDGET
For shopping less
Recipes that don't add eight things to the list.
THE GYM
For hitting macros
Recipes that fit your protein target without a spreadsheet.
Why Dietrack is different
A recipe generator that knows what's already in your kitchen.

In plain English
An AI recipe generator that doesn't hallucinate ingredients.
An AI recipe generator from ingredients takes a list of what you have and writes you a recipe — usually in seconds. The trick is that "what you have" is the part most generators get wrong. They assume you'll type it. So you don't.
Dietrack reads your kitchen instead. Snap a receipt or a fridge shelf and the pantry inventory updates itself. The generator pulls from there, so the recipe is always in-scope. The same engine writes the AI meal planner — one recipe at a time vs. a full week.
If you've ever asked a chatbot "what can I make with chicken and rice" and gotten a 30-step recipe with sun-dried tomatoes you don't own, this is the version that doesn't do that. Recipes that use up what would otherwise end up in the bin. Free to download on iOS and Android — see the FAQ for accuracy notes.
