About High Fiber Meal Planner

How the planner works

When you select your preferences—goal, diet, meal schedule, cooking style and foods to avoid—the planner filters its recipe catalog, scores each candidate recipe for goal fit and variety, then assembles a complete week of meals. The scoring system rewards pantry reuse (so you buy fewer unique ingredients) while preventing main-meal repetition.

Fiber estimates are calculated by summing the fiber contributions of individual ingredients using values from the USDA FoodData Central database. The displayed total reflects the actual sum rather than a target-driven adjustment.

Our data source

All ingredient and recipe data comes from a versioned catalog that currently contains 48 reviewed recipes and 32 tracked ingredients, with 72 coverage checks to ensure adequate recipe availability across diet preferences and cooking styles.

Fiber values are drawn from generic USDA FoodData Central references. They are estimates based on typical ingredient values, not laboratory measurements of finished meals. The catalog is reviewed and versioned for auditability—each recipe has a reviewed-at date and a source reference.

No AI at runtime

The planner does not call any AI or language model during plan generation. This is an intentional design choice: deterministic rules produce consistent, auditable results and keep generation costs at zero. The trade-off is that the catalog size limits recipe variety, but it also means every meal in your plan comes from a real, reviewed recipe rather than a probabilistic suggestion.

Editorial and review process

Recipes in the catalog are reviewed for ingredient accuracy, reasonable portion sizes and fiber estimation methodology before inclusion. The review process checks that ingredient amounts are practical for home cooking, that fiber estimates are traceable to USDA data, and that recipes meet their stated diet tags (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, high-protein).
