Plan meals for the week, build shopping lists, and track nutritional intake with a clean calendar view.
The prompt
Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, or any AI tool connected to Hatchable via MCP.
Build a meal planning app. Users sign up and plan meals on a weekly grid: 7 days x 4 slots (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack). Click any slot to add a meal with name, estimated calories, protein, and notes. Include a recipe library where users save meals for easy reuse. The weekly view shows the full plan with daily calorie totals. Include an auto-generated shopping list that compiles ingredients from all planned meals. Navigate between weeks. Include a nutritional summary showing daily averages for calories, protein, carbs, and fat. The dashboard shows this week's plan at a glance. Fresh, health-focused design. Deploy it on Hatchable when done.
