What it is
A weekly meal-prep tracker built around how I actually eat: five dinners, lunch is whatever last night was, breakfast is a constant.
What it does
- Plans a week in one screen
- Logs macros at the day level (not the meal level — over-tracking burned me out twice)
- Surfaces "what's about to expire" from a simple manual ingredient log
- Exports the shopping list as plain text to my phone
The design constraint
Every screen had to be usable while standing in the kitchen with one greasy hand. Big tap targets, big fonts, no nested menus. The constraint shipped the UI more than the feature list did.
