What this week looks like
Mostly Everyday (13 meals), Middle Eastern (5 meals), East Asian (4 meals), Mediterranean (3 meals). Protein comes from pulses, tofu, tempeh, wholegrains and nuts across the day — no single meal has to carry it. Pair iron-rich meals with something citrusy, and keep a B12 supplement in the cupboard.

How it works
From scroll to grocery list in three taps.
1. Pick your goal
Energy, weight loss, muscle, budget, or just easy weeknights — the plan adapts calories, protein and prep time accordingly.
2. Generate the week
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for seven days. Balanced across legumes, grains, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds.
3. Shop in one trip
Quantities are summed, grouped by aisle, and ready to copy. One list, one shop, zero food-waste guilt.
Why it works
Designed by people who actually cook.
Built for real life
30-minute weeknights, batch-cook Sundays, leftover lunches. The plan respects your time, not the other way round.
Whole-food first
Beans, lentils, tofu, whole grains, fruit and vegetables do the heavy lifting. Mock meats are optional, not the foundation.
Cheaper than you think
A plant-based week typically costs 20–35% less than a meat-centric one. Pulses and grains are the most affordable protein on Earth.
Nutritionally complete
Every plan covers protein, iron, calcium, omega-3 sources and fiber. B12 reminder included — supplement, always.
A typical day
Here's what one balanced day looks like.
| Meal | Dish |
|---|---|
| Breakfast | Oats with banana, peanut butter, chia & fortified soy milk |
| Lunch | Chickpea & roasted vegetable grain bowl with tahini-lemon dressing |
| Snack | Apple, handful of almonds, square of dark chocolate |
| Dinner | Tofu stir-fry with broccoli, bell pepper, ginger & brown rice |
| Evening | Soy yogurt with berries and pumpkin seeds |
| Day total | |
Nutrition
Hit every target. On plants.
A well-planned plant-based diet is appropriate for every life stage — from pregnancy to elite athletics (American Dietetic Association, BDA, Dietitians of Canada). Here are the daily targets the planner balances for.
| Nutrient | Daily target |
|---|---|
| Protein | 0.8–1.2 g per kg body weight |
| Iron | 8–18 mg / day |
| Calcium | 1000 mg / day |
| Omega-3 (ALA) | 1.1–1.6 g / day |
| Vitamin B12 | 25 µg / day (supplement) |
| Vitamin D | 10–25 µg / day |
| Zinc | 8–11 mg / day |
| Iodine | 150 µg / day |
Targets are general adult guidelines. Athletes, pregnant or nursing people, and children have higher needs — see a registered dietitian.
Batch-cook
Six tips that save the most time.
- 1
Cook a pot of grains (rice, quinoa, farro) on Sunday — it underpins three lunches.
- 2
Roast two trays of vegetables at the same time. Different spices = different meals.
- 3
Always have canned beans, frozen edamame, and tofu in the fridge. Dinner in 15.
- 4
Make a big batch of dressing (tahini-lemon, peanut-lime, miso-ginger). Drizzle on anything.
- 5
Freeze portions on day 4 — your future-self lunch when motivation dips.
- 6
Buy frozen fruit & vegetables. Cheaper, often more nutrient-dense, zero waste.
