Ingredient values come from USDA FoodData Central. The split uses the same method Melio uses for shared dishes.
For healthy adults. This is general information, not medical advice. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or are planning for a child, ask a doctor or registered dietitian.
Plan the whole week for this household
Melio plans every meal for each person and splits shared dishes the same way. The app starts with Person 1's daily target; add everyone else there.
The meal's share of each person's day gives their calorie target for this meal. Their eating style splits it into protein, fat and carbs.
Ingredients are grouped by what they bring
Each ingredient goes into a protein, carb or fat group when one macro gives most of its calories. Vegetables, spices and mixed foods scale with each person's calories.
Each group is sized per person
A group grows or shrinks to meet each person's macro target, between 0.3 and 2 times the recipe. Eggs and other counted items are rounded to whole or half pieces.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I split one recipe for people with different calorie needs?
Give each person their own share of the dish instead of equal plates. This tool works out each person's calorie target for the meal, then sizes the protein, carb and fat parts of the recipe for each plate, so one pot feeds everyone at their own target.
Why doesn't the tool show calories for the whole household?
A household total belongs to nobody. Each plate shows the calories and macros of the person who eats it, measured against that person's target. The total to cook is given in grams and pieces, which is what you need in the kitchen.
Where do the numbers come from?
Each ingredient's calories and macros come from USDA FoodData Central values that were matched when the recipe was created. Only recipes where every ingredient has USDA data are offered.
What if our targets are very different?
One recipe can't match a keto plate and a high-carb plate at once. When the splits are too far apart, the tool says so and suggests a side dish or a boost for that person, so you still cook one main dish.
