About

Cado

Read full description

Cooking for one is annoying. Recipes make four servings. You buy a pile of food, cook once, and throw half of it out. Cado fixes that. Tell Cado what you like, what you can't eat, and what you're going for. About a minute later you have a full week of meals — every recipe sized for one person, or scaled up when you actually want leftovers. A WEEK OF MEALS, PLANNED Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Built around your goals, your schedule, and food you actually like. RECIPES SIZED FOR ONE No more "serves 4" math. Cado writes the recipe for the number of people eating it. Cook once, eat twice — on purpose, not by accident. A GROCERY LIST READY TO SHOP Your whole week combined into one list. No doubles. Sorted by aisle, in amounts you can actually buy at the store. A COACH YOU CAN TALK TO Don't like Tuesday's dinner? Say so. Ask for faster, cheaper, or no mushrooms. Cado changes the plan and updates your list. CALORIE AND FOOD FACTS Calories and protein for every meal. Log what you really ate. Track it or turn it off — your call. YOUR FOOD, YOUR RULES Allergies, foods you hate, how much you want to spend, how much time you have. Cado works around all of it. Start with a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime. Cado gives general meal planning and nutrition information. It is not medical advice. Talk to a healthcare professional before making big changes to how you eat.
