Tired of asking "what's for dinner?" every night? BitePrep takes the daily decision out of meal planning. Build a library of meals you actually cook, then plan a full week in seconds. WEEKLY MEAL PLANNING Drag meals onto your week, or let Smart Fill build a balanced or easy week for you. Shuffle for fresh ideas. The planner respects the days you cook and the meal times you eat โ dinners only, lunch + dinner, or all three meals. YOUR PRIVATE MEAL LIBRARY Save the meals you actually make. Add ingredients, notes, recipe links, cuisine, and tag favorites. BitePrep plans around YOUR meals, not a generic database. RECIPE IMPORT Paste a link to any recipe and BitePrep saves it to your library. SMART AVOIDANCES Set dietary restrictions and disliked ingredients once. Smart Fill and shuffle automatically avoid them โ no more re-planning around the one thing you can't eat. SHARE WITH HOUSEHOLD Invite up to 5 people to your meal plan. Partners, roommates, and family see the same week and edit together. EXPORT Send your week as a list to share or print.
