#2I (the submitter) didn't make this, but it's a neat idea, nicely executed. You can set your own nutrient targets, such as, "I want at least 150 g of protein per day" or "I need between 50 and 100 g of carbohydrates", and avoid food groups such as grains (for paleo diets) or meat (for vegetarians).

#3For context, this is the next iteration of http://swole.me/.
It's a neat tool for getting a starting meal plan going, but some people have complained that the food variety is lacking. I can't eat only Greek yogurt for every meal.

Interesting. What nutritional requirements did you enter to give that result?

#5It told me I should eat a minimum of 118.99999999999999 grams of protein.
I may bill my customers in picodollars, but I don't eat food in femtograms...

#6It looks nice, but orange and yogurt in the same meal?

Then why did you prepend "Show HN:" to the title? "Show HN:" is used to show off work that you've done. Otherwise every post would be a "Show HN:".

#8Pretty cool. I was all ready to come up with some canned whine about no paleo options but there they are. Very nice.

In my current meal plan, on my workout days I minimalize fat intake and maximize carbs/protein in a 40/60 split - the calculator suggests Greek yogurt or fish chowder for nearly every meal. Obviously, this is more on the extreme end of diet planning and arguably I wouldn't have much of a use for it since I already have my own specialized plan.
