How Mealternate plans your dinners.

It builds a dinner plan around the amounts you actually bought.

  1. 1

    Add what you bought

    Enter each ingredient and the amount on the package.

  2. 2

    Get your dinners in order

    The meals use some of the same ingredients but taste different.

  3. 3

    See what to cook next

    After each dinner, what you have left helps pick the next one.
