GLP-1 meal planning for personal chefs

The GLP-1 rule pack

Turn it on for any client household and every generated menu follows five rules:

• Smaller portions — plate half to two-thirds, with seconds on standby instead of big first servings.
• Protein-forward every meal — protein first, then vegetables, then starch, anchored at every plate.
• Easy on rich, fried, and fatty foods — grilled, roasted, steamed; lighter sauces that sit well.
• A gentle backup for low-appetite days — a mild broth soup or plain protein with rice tucked into every week.
• Hydration alongside meals — water-friendly sides and soups; small sips, not big drinks at once.

Why it works with the rest of the plan

• Macro estimates per dish — protein targets matter most for GLP-1 clients. Every dish carries estimated calories, protein, carbs, and fat, and client macro targets auto-tune portion sizes at generation.
• Per-member rules — only the GLP-1 client gets the rule pack; the rest of the household plans normally, all in the same week.
• Menu history — repetition limits keep gentle staples in rotation without serving the same backup soup three weeks running.

Note: MenuCortex is planning support, not medical guidance. Clients should follow their prescriber's advice; the rule pack simply makes the weekly plan match how they actually eat.
