Frequently Asked Questions
How does the diet filter handle multiple restrictions?
The tool applies a strict filter to the database. If you select 'Vegan', only dishes tagged as 100% plant-based will appear. Combining a meal type with a diet ensures results are relevant to both your schedule and your nutritional needs.
Can I generate a full week of meals at once?
Yes. Set the count to 7 or 14 to generate enough ideas for a week of lunches and dinners. You can then use the copy-to-clipboard feature to paste the list directly into a notes app or grocery list.
What types of cuisines are included in the generator?
The database includes over 300 global dishes, ranging from standard Western staples to Asian, Mediterranean, and Latin American cuisine, ensuring a high level of variety in every batch.
What should I do if no results are found?
If the specific combination of 'Meal Type' and 'Diet' is too narrow, try setting the Meal Type to 'Any'. This broadens the search across the entire database while still respecting your dietary restrictions.
