AI-Powered Meal Planner with Shift Pattern Support
Eating well as a professional driver means planning around irregular hours, limited cooking facilities, and the reality of life on the road. Our new Meal Planner takes the guesswork out of weekly meal planning.
Generate a Full Week in Seconds
The new "Generate Full Week" feature uses AI to create a complete 7-day meal plan tailored to your specific needs:
Shift Pattern Awareness
Tell the planner your shift pattern and it adapts:
- Day Shifts (6am–6pm) — early breakfasts, packed lunches, light dinners
- Night Shifts (6pm–6am) — energy-sustaining meals that won't cause drowsiness
- Mixed — flexible meals that work whether you're on days or nights
- Rotating — variety to keep you fuelled through changing schedules
- Split Shifts — meals timed around long midday breaks
Dietary Preferences
Toggle your preferences and the AI respects them:
- Cab-friendly — meals that can be eaten in the cab without mess
- Diabetes-friendly — low GI, balanced blood sugar options
- Vegetarian — plant-based alternatives
- High Protein — for drivers who want to maintain muscle and energy
How It Works
- Open the Meal Planner from the Nutrition section
- Click "Generate Full Week"
- Select your shift pattern
- Toggle your dietary preferences
- Hit "Generate 7-Day Plan"
The AI fills your entire week with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks — all designed for life on the road.
Individual Meal Suggestions
Don't want a full week? Use "AI Meal Ideas" to get suggestions for a specific meal slot on a specific day. Perfect for filling gaps or replacing meals you don't fancy.
Shopping List
Once your week is planned, switch to the Shopping List tab. It automatically aggregates all ingredients from your planned meals into a single list — ready to take to the supermarket before your next trip.
Tips for Success
- Generate on Sunday — plan your week before it starts
- Keep it cab-friendly — toggle this on if you eat most meals in the truck
- Batch cook — many generated meals are designed for batch preparation
- Adjust as needed — swap individual meals or regenerate specific days
The Meal Planner is available now. Try generating your first week and let us know how it works for your schedule!
