How do I make a meal plan with AI?

Emily Wise has ChatGPT plan a week of meals for two, then the recipes, then a grocery list with estimated prices. Her store total came in just under $150.

Steps

  1. Answer her checklist first: days, people, leftovers, restrictions, goals, cuisines, snacks, treats, store.
  2. Ask for the meal plan only, and fix anything you dislike.
  3. Ask for the recipes in a separate message.
  4. Ask for a grocery list sorted by category with a budget.
  5. Check the list against your pantry. Prices are estimates.
