How Meal Plans Are Created

During a Consultation

After recording a consultation, ask the AI:

• "Create a meal plan for this patient"
• "Build a meal plan based on our discussion"

The AI considers the consultation conversation, patient health data, and any dietary restrictions discussed.

Via Patient Chat

Start an AI chat for the patient and request a meal plan. The AI will use the patient's health profile and any available lab data.

Using Templates

Meal plan generation follows your configured templates. Customize the structure and content through the Template Library.

Meal Plan Content

A typical meal plan includes:

• Nutritional targets — Calorie goals, macronutrient breakdown
• Meal schedule — Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
• Recipes and portions — Specific food items with serving sizes
• Dietary notes — Allergies, preferences, and restrictions
• Supplementation — If applicable

Meal Plan Generation Process

When generating a meal plan, Meelio:

1. Calculates BMR and TDEE based on patient data
2. Determines macronutrient targets
3. Checks for medication interactions and safety constraints
4. Generates a personalized plan

The AI may take a moment to generate meal plans due to the complexity of nutritional calculations.

Editing Meal Plans

Click on a meal plan to open and edit it. You can modify content directly or ask the AI to make adjustments.
