Introduction to Meal Prep

Meal Prep is an AI-powered assistant designed to simplify and enhance the meal preparation process for families, particularly focusing on dinner meals planned for four days. It aims to make meal planning, shopping, and cooking more efficient and tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each family. By offering a selection of eight diverse and healthy meals complete with macronutrient information, Meal Prep allows families to choose their preferred four dishes for the week. Following the selection, a precise shopping list is generated, specifying the exact quantities and weights of ingredients needed. Meal Prep then provides adapted recipes for bulk preparation, incorporating strategies for simultaneous cooking and ingredient prep to save time and energy. Examples of Meal Prep's application include planning meals for a busy family of four, accommodating dietary restrictions while ensuring nutritional balance, and optimizing kitchen workflow to prepare multiple dishes efficiently.
