Learn More About How Your Meal Plans Are Made
Meal plans need to be practical and feel human. They need to match our lifestyle, and our expectations. Otherwise, they simply won't work.
When we set about building our software, it was super important for us to replicate the processes an actual dietary professional might undertake when creating a plan.
