Needs a little refinement. It's suggesting I eat 6 eggs a day and while I am no expert, that sounds excessive.

I eat a 6 egg, mushrooms, and bell peppers omelet for breakfast topped with salsa. I highly recommend it. I feel much better than the days I have oatmeal for breakfast. And it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare.

Hey everyone, I made this site. It's very much a work in progress, though if your diet already looks as much like the generated output as it does mine, it will be a great tool! (i.e. eat whatever I can find that barely needs cooking, swallow a shot of olive oil, slight self hatred, etc.)

I would, however, like to learn to cook, so I'm working on implementing recipes and a better food selection (it's clearly not worth learning unless I build something to tell me what to eat and when). Let me know if you have any feedback, and thanks.

Very nice! Any plans for a mobile version? (iPhone / Android) I can imagine this has even more value when you have it around all the time on your mobile, combined with push notifications? Good luck with the app!

Thanks! I'd definitely like to at some point. What did you have in mind for the push notifications? "4pm. Eat some nuts!"?

Not really. There's weight gain diets that involve a dozen - 'DEAD' or dozen eggs a day.

Besides, this is just one meal plan - you should be running it with your settings every day or so to get new meal plans.

Would be nice to have a vegetarian / vegan option which quickly checks / unchecks various things.

As a vege in one day I need to eat a lot of eggs and drink a lot of milk.

6 Eggs + 1 Cup Egg Whites + 3 Cups of Milk

I wonder how to make a meal out of this:

2 eggs Eggs + 1 cup Lentils + 30 grams Protein Powder + 1 cup Strawberries

I think it has potential though. Will be good when there are recipes.
