Know what you're eating before you eat it. MacroChef turns recipes into structured meals with nutrition, then helps you plan, shop, cook, and track everything in one place. IMPORT RECIPES FROM ANYWHERE Paste a recipe website link, or share directly from TikTok or Instagram. MacroChef extracts the recipe, ingredients, steps, and nutrition automatically. Longer imports can continue in the background, with a notification when your recipe is ready. ASK CHEF Every recipe comes with its own AI assistant. Ask about substitutions, cooking techniques, timing, or anything else while you're cooking. AI-POWERED FOOD LOGGING Log what you ate by typing or dictating it in your own words, and let AI estimate the nutrition. Or search for individual foods and enter exact quantities yourself. Recipes you've cooked can be tracked automatically. YOUR RECIPE LIBRARY Find everything you've saved in one place. Search recipes, filter by cuisine or category, organize favorites into Collections, and see what you've recently cooked. MEAL PLANNING Plan your meals for the week and add multiple recipes to the same meal. Swap, add, or remove recipes without starting over. SHOPPING LIST Ingredients from your planned meals are organized automatically. Add anything else you need with My Items, right alongside your recipe ingredients. PERSONALIZED NUTRITION Set your daily calorie and macro targets, then customize individual micronutrient goals when you want more control. MacroChef combines AI with nutrition databases including USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts. MacroChef requires an internet connection for recipe importing and syncing. Saved recipes are available offline. MacroChef is free to download. Sign in with email to sync across devices. Terms of Use: https://stv-99.github.io/macrochef-site/terms.html
