Diet planning: why it's needed and how to do it in an app?

A balanced diet plays a key role in maintaining health, energy and well-being. However, correctly planning a diet on your own isn't easy: you need to consider CPFC, the balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as product availability. That's why convenient tools for meal planning become indispensable helpers.

What is a diet plan?

A diet plan is a carefully planned set of foods that provides the body with all the essential nutrients. It can be calculated for a day, a week, or even a month depending on your goals:

weight loss or weight gain,
maintaining physical fitness,
monitoring intake of vitamins and minerals,
planning meals during hikes, travel, or at work.

A proper diet helps prevent overeating or, conversely, a lack of beneficial nutrients. With it you can easily control portions and distribute meals throughout the day.

How to compose a diet plan in the app?

In our app, the process of planning a diet is as convenient as possible. To get started you need:

Go to the "Product Sets" section and create your first product set.
Add products to the set, indicating their availability and the desired amount of usage.
Make sure the values are realistic. For example, it is not worth overestimating the parameter "use at least", as this may complicate the diet calculation.
Run the diet calculator — the app will automatically choose the optimal distribution of products.
If necessary, adjust the data (increase product availability, change usage parameters) and repeat the calculation.

What are "Grocery Sets"?

This section in the app is designed for convenient management of your supplies and meal planning. "Grocery Sets" are groups of products from which meals are formed. For example, you can create:

Fridge contents set — to account for only available products.
Picnic set — if you need to plan food outdoors.
Hotel buffet set — if you want to pre-calculate portions while traveling.
Sports nutrition — to control intake of proteins and carbohydrates.

The number of grocery sets is unlimited — create as many as you need!

Why might it be difficult to assemble a diet plan?

Sometimes planning a diet is not possible due to overly strict constraints. If the app cannot find an optimal solution, try:

add more foods,
reduce the "use at least" parameter,
adjust the availability of foods.

Using our app will help you easily manage your nutrition, monitor food consumption, and follow a healthy diet without unnecessary complications. Try it today and see how convenient it is!
