Meal planning for real families
Everyone at the table gets exactly what they need
PlateSync builds weekly meal plans with per-person portions based on each family member's health profile. Cook the full recipe, plate it right, and only buy what you need.
The problem
The weekly scramble stops here
Dad needs 150g of protein. Mum's watching calories. The toddler eats half a serve of everything. The 6-year-old won't touch anything green. You're cooking one meal and somehow everyone needs a different plate — so you default to the same five dinners on repeat.
Most meal planners treat your family as one person. PlateSync doesn't.
How it works
From setup to shopping list in minutes
Set up your family
Add each family member with their age, weight, goals, activity level, allergies, and food preferences. PlateSync calculates personalised daily targets — and adjusts them per day based on each person's training schedule.
Build your recipe collection
Search the web for recipes using AI, or add your own. PlateSync catalogues each recipe with full ingredients, instructions, and per-serving nutrition.
Stock your pantry
Log what's already in your fridge, pantry, and freezer. Type or dictate a list and AI sorts it for you. PlateSync uses this to rank recipes and subtract ingredients from your shopping list.
Plan your week
Assign recipes to each day. The app ranks recipes by what you already have on hand and flags any allergy conflicts. Portions are calculated per person, capped to the recipe's actual serving count.
Shop smart
Confirm your plan and get a shopping list with full-batch ingredient amounts — what you actually buy and cook. Pantry items are subtracted so you only buy what you need.
Cook with a guide
Tap any meal on your phone to open cooking mode: checkable ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and a clear breakdown of how much to plate for each person. No ads, no life story — just the recipe.
Handle leftovers
After cooking, mark the meal as done. Surplus servings? Keep them in the fridge, freeze them, or discard. Leftovers show up as an option for future meals — no extra shopping.
Features
Built for families, not individuals
Per-person portions
Science-backed targets using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. Protein, calories, and portions personalised for every family member — from toddlers to adults.
Day-aware nutrition
Targets adjust per day based on each person's weekly training schedule. More food on training days, less on rest days.
Cooking mode
Full-screen mobile recipe view with checkable ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and per-person portion breakdown. No ads, no life story — just the recipe. Includes child-friendly adaptation notes.
Leftovers tracking
Cook the full recipe. Surplus servings are tracked and can be assigned to future meals, frozen, or discarded. Shopping lists skip leftover meals.
Allergy detection
Recipes are scanned against family members' allergies automatically. Smart enough to know that 'dairy-free milk' isn't dairy.
Smart shopping lists
Full-batch ingredient amounts, pantry deduction, and AI normalisation to practical package sizes. Buy what you need, not what a formula says.
AI recipe import
Search the web for real recipes. AI catalogues every ingredient, every step, and the nutrition — no manual data entry.
Household sharing
Invite your partner or housemates. Everyone shares recipes, pantry, and meal plans from their own account.
Supply management
Track fridge, pantry, and freezer. Type or dictate what you have and AI sorts it instantly. Auto-deducted when you cook, auto-restocked when you shop, restored if you change your mind.
FAQ
Common questions
How does it calculate portions?
It uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate daily calorie needs from age, weight, height, sex, and activity level. Protein targets use science-backed ranges (0.9–2.2 g/kg depending on goals). Portions are capped so the total never exceeds the recipe's serving count — you always cook the full batch.
Does it work for kids?
Yes. Child profiles support age-appropriate goals, fussy eater notes, texture aversions, preferred foods, and disliked foods. Kids get appropriately smaller portions based on their actual needs.
What happens to leftovers?
After cooking, you choose what to do with surplus servings: keep in the fridge (4-day expiry), freeze (no expiry), or discard. Leftovers appear as an option when planning future meals — no extra shopping needed.
Do nutrition targets change on training days?
Yes. If a family member has a weekly training schedule (e.g., training Monday, Wednesday, Friday), their calorie and protein targets adjust per day — higher on training days, lower on rest days. Portion tendency (smaller/normal/larger eater) factors in too.
Can I undo a meal if I didn't cook it?
Yes. Cooking mode has a 'Didn't Cook' button that returns all ingredients to your pantry — reversing the deduction from when the plan was confirmed.
What cuisines and diets does it support?
Cuisines include Mediterranean, Asian, Indian, Mexican, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Middle Eastern, American, and African. Diets include balanced, high protein, Mediterranean, keto, paleo, Whole30, vegetarian, and vegan. Each family member can have their own diet preference.
Is my data private?
Yes. All household data is secured with row-level security — only members of your household can access your recipes, pantry, and meal plans. Data is stored on encrypted servers. No personal health data is ever sent to AI providers.
Can multiple people use it?
Yes. The household owner invites members by email. Everyone shares recipes, pantry, meal plans, and family profiles from their own login.
