hey
Hey there! š Ready to embark on a delicious journey together? I'm here to help you whip up a personalized meal plan, complete with a grocery list thatāll make your shopping trip a breeze.
Letās get started! What kind of diet are you following or curious about? (Keto, Vegan, Mediterranean, Paleo, or something else?)
im good with all
Awesome! A culinary adventurer, I see! šāØ Now, just to narrow it down a bit, what's your main goal with this meal plan? Are you looking to lose weight, maintain your current weight, or maybe even gain some muscle? Let me know!
gain some muscle
Muscle gain, huh? Time to channel your inner Hulk! šŖš„
Next up, letās get some basic info to help tailor your plan. What's your age, sex (Male/Female/Other), height, and weight? And if you happen to know your body fat percentage, that would be a bonus! But no pressure if you donāt!
female, 57kg, 5feet, i dont know body fat
Got it! A strong foundation to work with! šŖ Now, letās talk about your activity level. How active are you on a typical day? Would you say youāre Sedentary, Lightly Active, Moderately Active, Very Active, or Extra Active?
lightly active
Perfect! We're building a solid picture here. š Now, are you hitting the gym or getting active regularly? (Yes or noāno judgment either way!)
like 1 time a week i go to gym
Hey, every little bit counts! š So, just to clarify, what kind of workouts do you usually do at the gym? (E.g., Cardio, weightlifting, yoga, or a mix?) And how many days a week do you usually work out?
i do yoga mostly
Namaste to that! š§āāļø Yoga is fantastic for strength and flexibility. So, just to recap, you hit the gym about once a week and mostly do yoga.
Now, letās dive into your macronutrient needs! Based on your activity level and muscle gain goal, Iāll calculate your daily calorie needs and recommend your protein, carb, and fat intake.
But first, how do you feel about the following questions?
i like all and more indian food
Indian food? Now weāre talking! šāØ The spices, the flavorsāit's a culinary fiesta!
Next up, do you have any dietary restrictions or allergies I should know about? (E.g., Gluten-free, nut allergies, etc.)
no allergies
Fantastic! No allergies means we can get creative! šØ Now, letās see what youāve got in your kitchen.
What foods do you already have at home? (Think pantry staples like rice, lentils, or canned goods.) And what about spices, seasonings, or oils? Do you have basics like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil?
i have all
Youāre all set! A well-stocked kitchen is a happy kitchen! š„³ Now, should I prioritize recipes that use these ingredients to help you save money and reduce waste? (Yes or noātotally up to you!)
sure
Great choice! Letās keep it efficient and delicious! š½ļø Now, how many days a week do you want to cook or meal prep? (Every day? A couple of times?) And how much time do you have for cooking? (Quick 30-minute meals, or do you enjoy spending more time on recipes?)
5 days a week i want to cook, i spend around 1 hour a day for cooking
Perfect! Five days a week with an hour to whip up some magic sounds like a plan! šāØ
Now, what kitchen tools do you have? (E.g., oven, air fryer, blender, or sous videālet me know!) And how would you describe your kitchen skills? (Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced?)
i have most of the tools, advanced
An advanced chef in the kitchen? I love it! š©āš³š„ Weāre going to create some culinary masterpieces together!
Now, letās talk about your meal logistics. How many meals and snacks do you typically eat in a day? (For example, 3 main meals and 2 snacks.) Do you usually eat at home, or do you need meals you can pack for work or school? And do you like to use leftovers for other meals, or do you prefer fresh dishes every time?
2 main a day and no slack
Got it! Two main meals a day, no snacksākeeping it simple and focused! š„š½ļø
Now, whatās your weekly grocery budget? (No need to be exactājust an idea!) And where do you usually shop? (E.g., Meijer, Costco, Aldi, Whole Foods, or your local market?) Also, where are you located? (City, state, or countryāit helps me tailor the plan to what's available near you!)
Ā£70 a week budget, i have sainsbury near me
Perfect! A Ā£70 weekly budget at Sainsbury's gives us plenty of room to work with! šš°
Now, do you have any health conditions I should consider? (Totally optional, but helpful if you'd like adjustments!) Would you like me to prioritize local or sustainable ingredients in your plan? (Yes/No) Any favorite beverages or snacks I should include? (Coffee, smoothies, keto treatsāit's your call!) And finally, anything else I should keep in mind? (This is your chance to make special requests!)
no issues all good
Awesome! Sounds like weāre ready to roll! š
Now, letās summarize everything and create your personalized meal plan. Based on your goals, preferences, and cooking habits, hereās what I recommend:
Day 1:
Day 2:
Day 3:
Day 4:
Day 5:
How does that look? Would you like to make any changes? For example, add or remove specific ingredients, adjust the number of meals, or include more variety? Let me knowāI want this plan to fit you perfectly!
sounds good
Fantastic! š Iām glad you like it! Now, hereās your grocery list formatted for easy copying:
Produce:
Meat and Seafood:
Dairy:
Pantry:
Miscellaneous:
Now, before you dash off to Sainsbury's, consider using a food tracking app like MyFitnessPal to monitor your intake and stay on track with your muscle gain goals. šŖ
Also, think about designing a workout plan to complement your meal plan. Even small, consistent exercises can make a difference!
If budgeting is a priority, apps like Mint or YNAB can help you keep your grocery spending in check.
Thatās itāyouāve made it to the end! š Thanks for sticking with me. Remember, while this plan is tailored to you, it's always a good idea to consult your doctor before starting a new diet or planāyour health comes first.
