Weekly meal plan and shopping list with AI
How to ask AI for a varied weekly menu with what’s in your fridge, step-by-step recipes and a shopping list by aisle, using official dietary guidelines as a reference.
“What’s for dinner?” ends with 5 minutes of AI on Sunday. Tip: take a photo of your fridge and ask it to identify what’s there (see analysing images).
How to ask
Use the template below. Key points: tastes, allergies, real cooking time and budget. Ask it to reuse ingredients to buy and waste less.
Then
- Ask for step-by-step recipes for unfamiliar dishes.
- Copy the list into your notes or share it with the family.
- Don’t like something? “Swap Wednesday for something without an oven.”
With judgement
Spain’s food safety agency AESAN publishes sustainable dietary recommendations: use them to see if the menu is balanced. AI can be wrong: allergens always on the label, and health-related diets with a professional.
Frequently asked questions
Is AI suitable for a medical diet?
No. For diabetes, severe allergies or pregnancy, follow your doctor or dietitian. AI can help organise recipes they approve.
Can I trust that a recipe has no allergen?
Not fully: always check each product’s label. A chatbot can be wrong.
