Meal prep without the Sunday-night spreadsheet

Most meal prep failures happen before you start cooking — picking recipes, balancing macros, building a shopping list. Swoodie automates that whole part.

Meal prep done right saves you 5-10 hours of decision fatigue every week. Meal prep done wrong is a 90-minute Sunday-night spreadsheet exercise that you abandon by week three.

Swoodie’s AI Meal Planner handles the picking, the macro balancing, and the shopping list — so the only thing you actually do is cook. And the AI Shopping List (new) consolidates ingredients so you don’t end up with three half-onions in the fridge.

Where meal prep usually breaks

• Picking 5-7 recipes that don’t feel repetitive
• Balancing macros across the week without doing math by hand
• Building a shopping list from 7 different recipes
• Buying duplicate ingredients (3 onions when 1 will do)
• Forgetting which day each container was prepped
