'''"What should I eat?" answers with three meals that fit the rest of your day.''' Sized against the calories and macros you have left, screened against your never-eat list, and two taps from logged.

'''This is a Loopa Premium feature.''' Searching, scanning and logging food are free.

== Asking ==

Open the '''quick-log fan''' or the food screen and tap '''What should I eat?'''

You can steer it:

  • '''Meal''': breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack.
  • '''What you have in''': type ingredients, or switch on '''use my pantry''' and it reads your saved pantry.
  • '''A request''' in your own words. "Something quick", "no cooking", "high protein".

It gives you '''three''' by default, and you can ask for more or fewer.

== What it takes into account ==

  • '''What is left of your day''': calories and each macro, from what you have already logged.
  • '''Your never-eat list''', which is a hard filter rather than a preference. See [[meal-history|Meal history]] for how a food gets on it.
  • '''Your favorites and dislikes.'''
  • '''What it has already offered you''', so asking again gives you something different.

== When you have hit your targets ==

'''It says so and stops.''' "You've hit your nutrition targets for today. Nice work."

'''If you are actually hungry, say so''' and it switches to suggesting a snack instead of refusing. A tracker that answers hunger with a closed door is a tracker people stop opening.

== Logging one ==

Tap it. It goes into today's log with its portion and its numbers, like any other entry, and is editable and deletable from that point.

== What it is not ==

  • '''Not a meal plan.''' [[meal-planner|Meal planner]] is the one that builds a week.
  • '''Not a recipe database.''' It suggests; the recipe view is a separate thing you can ask for.
  • '''Not medical or dietary advice.''' It is arithmetic against targets you set, dressed as a meal.
