A week of meals that fits, and stays yours

Bites can suggest a whole week, help you pick, or simply hold the meals you plan yourself. However you use it, one rule holds: what you choose is never changed behind your back.

The short answer

Bites fills each meal slot with a recipe that fits that meal's share of your calories and protein, your diet style, allergies, dislikes, favourite cuisines and the time you have to cook. When nothing fits, the slot stays empty instead of breaking your rules. Meals you chose, made, edited or logged, and slots you cleared or skipped, are never changed by a regenerate, a template or a fresh set of suggestions.

Three ways to fill a week

  1. Suggest mealsBites fills the week with meals that fit. Swap or change any of them.
  2. I'll pick my ownNo suggestions. Add the meals you'll eat, from your own list or a quick search.
  3. Just a guideNo set meals. A simple guide to what goes on your plate, and roughly how much.

Every slot also has three doors: Suggest, Choose (a recipe from the catalogue or your kitchen) and Make (describe it, take a photo, scan a barcode, search foods, use hand portions or type quick numbers).

The Week tab in Bites with Plan, Groceries and Prep, Thursday planned at 1,636 of 1,650 kcal and breakfast already in place.

The rules every suggestion has to pass

  • Diet style: classic, Turkish, Mediterranean, high protein, low carb, keto, vegetarian, vegan or pescatarian.
  • Allergens: gluten, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, shellfish and sesame, plus pork and alcohol if you avoid them.
  • Dislikes: ingredients you don't eat, and recipes you've given a second thumbs down.
  • Cuisines you picked: Turkish, Mediterranean, Italian, Asian, Indian, Mexican, Middle Eastern or American.
  • Cooking time: a limit from 15 to 60 minutes, set separately for weekdays and weekends.

These are hard filters, not preferences. If no recipe passes, the slot stays empty and Bites tells you how many slots it couldn't fill, so you can add your own meal or loosen a filter. An empty slot beats a wrong meal. If an allergy is serious, still check the ingredients yourself.

How a meal is fitted to your budget

Each meal gets a share of the day: about 25% for breakfast, 30% for lunch, 35% for dinner and 10% for a snack, plus the energy of any training that day. A recipe is scaled between half a serving and two servings to fit its share. If a day comes in under 85% of your protein target, one meal is swapped for a higher-protein one.

Suggestions lean towards what you like: your ratings, what you cook, your own recipes, and the foods you usually eat at breakfast and snack time.

What stays yours

  • Every planned meal remembers who picked it: suggested, chosen, made or edited. Automatic changes only ever touch suggestions.
  • Keep this suggestion holds a suggested meal in place when the week is regenerated.
  • Skip a meal for eating out or not eating, just this once or every week. An eating-out meal keeps its share of the budget.
  • Clear a slot and it stays empty. Bites won't fill it again on its own.
  • Make it mine copies a recipe into My kitchen so you can change it, and from then on Bites suggests your version.

Groceries from your plan

  • One list from every planned meal you haven't eaten yet, with the same ingredient merged across meals.
  • Real amounts in grams, and in pieces, cloves or cans where that's how you buy them (“2 pieces · ≈ 220 g”), scaled for the number of people you cook for.
  • Grouped by aisle: produce, bakery, pantry, protein, dairy and frozen.
  • Mark “I have this at home” and the item leaves the list until you put it back.
  • Add to Reminders creates a “Bites groceries” list in Apple Reminders without duplicates, or share the list as text.

Prep, leftovers and cooking

  • The Prep list puts batch cooking first, in cooking order, then the dishes worth making ahead. Tick steps off as you go.
  • Turn on Cook once, eat twice and a dinner that keeps well becomes the next day's lunch. It's off until you turn it on.
  • Of the 327 recipes, 147 keep well and 40 freeze well.
  • Cook mode reads the times in each step and turns them into timers (up to 3 hours), with a timer on the Lock Screen.

The Sunday review

From Sunday evening, Your week with Bites shows how the plan went: how many days it worked, how much you logged from the plan, and what you liked. Then start the next week in one tap: repeat this week, start from a template, or get fresh suggestions led by what you liked. All three only fill empty slots and untouched suggestions.

The Sunday review in Bites: the plan worked on 6 of 7 days, 26 meals logged from the plan, 90% eaten as planned, with buttons for next week.

If you'd rather not plan

Choose I'll log as I go and use Bites as a tracker, or Keep it simple, no numbers for Habits mode: six daily habits such as protein at each meal and two fists of vegetables, with no meal plan and no calorie counts.
