How this works
We start from your daily target, subtract anything you’ve already eaten and what you’ve planned, then share what’s left across the meals still to come.
The default split is about 25% breakfast, 35% lunch, 30% dinner and 10% snacks, shown as ranges (±10%) because nobody eats to the exact calorie.
Every open meal keeps a minimum of 300 kcal (100 kcal for snacks). We never suggest skipping a meal — if a plan can’t fit, we say so kindly and keep those minimums. One day over doesn’t change your week.
Meals that have already passed by the time you choose aren’t counted or nagged about.

Questions people ask
Is it bad to save calories for a big meal?
Food isn’t good or bad. Planning ahead so you can enjoy a meal out is a perfectly reasonable thing to do — just keep your other meals regular rather than skipping them, which is why the planner always keeps a minimum for each one.
What if my plan takes me over?
Then the planner tells you, and keeps sensible minimums for your other meals. One day over target doesn’t undo your progress — it’s your pattern over weeks that matters.
Why ranges instead of exact numbers?
Portions, labels and recipes all vary a little. A range is more honest and easier to use when you’re choosing what to eat.
Do I need to eat four times a day?
No. Eat in the pattern that suits you. In the app you can plan whichever meals you like.
