Awesome idea! Good start.
Here are a few options that would be great (besides what’s already been said):
Oh wait, I didn’t see the food choice options before I made the last comment! cool site
I’ll post some links with food choice ideas later on.
Great job, totally digging the site.
Cottage cheese is the only food that I think is missing.
Diggin’ this…nice work!
Much better now that we can dictate macros and food choices. In the next version maybe you can add meal categories - breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, pre and post workout. It’s a little rough eating tuna for breakfast - not that I’ve never done it but still.

Great idea but too much carbs and not enough protein. It only gave me 8 ounces of meat for the day.[/quote]
I think that was probably one meal not for the whole day.[/quote]
It was over 3 meals with 2 - 4oz servings of turkey and cup after cup of rice.
That is a properly well-made program.
Only adjustment I would like possible is, I want all my carbs at breakfast, rest of day carb free.
Well done, tho.
I am just impressed you got that domain name.

I’m doubly impressed.
the drop down menu for food choices is a little buggy on some resolutions. other than that, awesome work. bookmarked.
I like how you have a calorie estimator for bulking but maybe have one for maintenance or cutting?
Dude, you’re in Denver? Let’s go to Denny’s.
I like it, more food choices would be better of course. As far as the beef and what not it’d be good to put in the major variations of beef such as 96/4, 85/15, 73/27. Obviously leanness of the meat would be huge sways in macros and calories. All and all looks great just keep adding more food choices and I’d say you’ve got a good thing going here.
Awesome to see that this thread is still going! I’ve been busy the past few days.
To address people not wanting to eat certain foods at certain times, I was thinking of just making it so you could lock certain foods in place if you liked where they were, and then generating a new meal would just build around what was already locked. Repeat this/keep locking things until you have something you actually like. Now that I’ve thought about it a little more though, it would probably be easier to implement a custom menu for each meal, but I’ll decide after I attempt the locking idea.
Custom macros for each meal is another request I’ve heard a couple times, so I’ll try to work that in somewhere.
I also though letting people save/share the meals they generate for critiquing sounded pretty useful and would help with traffic, so giving a permalink to the generated diet is on the list of things to do.
With regards to food choices:
I’ll definitely add cottage cheese.
I’m going to try to allow you to import allrecipes.com recipes somehow, and if that doesn’t work out, I’ll at least incorporate some other food search engine that’ll let you add in whatever.
The locking/custom foods per meal thing is going to come first, probably within a few days, and then I’ll look at the rest. Thanks again for all the feedback!
How come it doesnt tell me to eat lots of of bananas? How will i ever get swole if i dont eat lots of bananas?

Bananas are only for the advanced as eating 2+ bananas daily can get a bit confusing.
Dude,
Excellent idea.
I would suggest that you make it possible to designate which foods you want to eat at each meal, and then have the program calculate the amounts of each food you should eat.
For example, for breakfast, you could choose: eggs, oatmeal, orange; for lunch you could choose lean ground beef, brown rice, broccoli; etc. The program would then tell you how much of each to have in order to comply with your overall goals for calories and macros.
I can calculate menus using FitDay or other software - but nothing I have seen yet can do the above.

Cool concept. Even as it stands right now it is easy enough to move an item from meal 1 to meal 4 if thats when you’d rather eat it. I like this idea though…would be real nice!
Definitely using this next time I need to cut!
