FAQ

How does Chefly estimate meal costs?

Chefly uses average US grocery prices updated quarterly. You can adjust for your region in the app settings.

Can I set a per-meal budget instead of weekly?

Yes. Switch to per-meal mode and Chefly caps each breakfast, lunch, and dinner at your chosen dollar amount.

Are budget meals still nutritionally balanced?

Chefly ensures each day hits minimum protein, fiber, and vegetable servings even when optimizing for lowest cost.
