-
Do I need fancy ingredients for AI recipes?
No. Ordinary fridge items are enough if you list them clearly.
-
What if the AI suggests something I dislike?
Regenerate with a dislike note, or swap the protein while keeping the same vegetable set.
-
Can AI meal plans handle picky eaters?
Yes if you state dislikes and diet filters up front.
-
Should I plan breakfast too?
Only if mornings are chaotic. Many people only need dinner coverage.
-
Does a shopping list need quantities?
Rough quantities help. Exact grams matter less than buying the right item once.
-
Can I share the list?
Copy it into Messages or keep it in-app while you walk the store.
-
Can one household mix vegan and non-vegan nights?
Yes. Generate separate recipes from shared produce.
-
Are AI diet filters perfect?
Treat them as helpers. Still read labels for allergies.
-
Do I need timers for salads?
No. Use step mode for heat-driven dishes.
-
What if I cook two pans at once?
Keep the higher-risk pan on the active timer and glance at the other between steps.
-
Does AI stop food waste alone?
No. The audit habit matters. AI just turns the audit into dinner faster.
-
What about leftovers already cooked?
Repurpose them as bowls or fried rice instead of forcing a new raw recipe.
