Really impressive. Hope to get the Mobile app soon. Any plans for other recipe sites integration?

#12I saw this on reddit /r/fitness about a month ago.
Having tried more than a few of these I was prepared for disappointment.
I was delighted. Excellent tool! It really is that rare thing that you can't wait to tell people about.

#14Thank you for charging for this service. I am tired of sites that turn the user into the product, and will gladly pay $9/month for this if it will make eating easier and simpler (and help me become healthier).

#15K this app is something i've been thinking about making because I really want it. So feel free to charge me money if it means you can spend more time adding cool features.
here's what i'd like:
* You generate about 90% stuff alright, but that extra 10% is hard, I found myself hitting refresh many times. Can you give me a netflix style like it or not which will try to make better guesses?
* Can you hook it in with fit bit? They've already automated a lot of the information you're asking for. It might be nice to receive an email "Hey you didn't meet your daily goal, maybe this would be a better dinner than the one you planned"
* I'm not sure if i saw this or not, can you plan a week ahead so I can shop on weekends.
* I'd like an API, so I can add my own cool things. For instance on days where I have a lot of meetings I'm usually too exhausted to cook. So i'd like to plan easier meals.

#16I am surprised and delighted by this site! I cannot stress enough how well this nailed the contingencies that may come up when I was just using this. My first thought, I actually don't know how many calories I should eat--BAM there is a button that helps me generate it. What if I want to lose weight? BAM! Button for that option. Then I see the meals generated and I think, well, I'm a vegetarian so this chicken won't…
Was just about to write the same comment, but don't feel an upvote is enough. Great work on the ux, and the help texts answered my questions spot on.
Great job :)
Edit: And it remembered my entered values when i accidentally left the page!
Edit again: To add some constructive: I'm not to good at ounces, oz and cups, would it be possible to add an option for using the metric system?

#17Very impressed. However, I had to laugh at this meal suggestion:
Not two things that usually go together!

#18Great site! I can see it being super useful.
edit: Can you integrate into Google calendar at all?

#19As others have noted the UX is quite intuitive. You should definitely add more low carb options. Perhaps pairing this up with simple workouts (walk 3 miles), to allow more calorie intake but maintain the overall daily goals.

Seconded. An API would really be appreciated. I have some really cool ideas for things I can probably do with this service as well.
