Budget menu, in detail

Quick menu in one tapNew

Without filling in the wizard: when you start, it takes the diet and allergies from your profile to prepare a proposal. Then you can adjust the preferences.

Your budget and your supermarketNew

Choose supermarket, weekly spend, people and days. You see the estimated cost of the quantities used in each recipe and the total for the dinners.

Customize in three stepsNew

The basics, your kitchen and your food: organize the week, tick the appliances you have and choose your preferences and the ingredients you dislike.

Recipes for your appliancesNew

Oven, microwave, air fryer, pressure cooker, food processor, blender and more. The menu takes your kitchen into account when selecting dishes.

Your food preferences

Adjust the type of food, the restrictions and the ingredients you want to exclude. If you have allergies, also check the ingredients of each recipe.

Swap a dish or redo the menu

Swap a dinner or tap “Redo” to look for another combination with your preferences. The selection tries to avoid the dishes from the previous proposal.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about budget menu

Is the budget menu free?

Yes. It selects recipes from DietaGo's catalog without using AI and spends no coins. The quick menu, swapping dishes and getting the shopping list are also free. Generating a plan with AI is a different feature and does cost coins.

What does the quick menu do?

It prepares a proposal in one tap. If you haven't set up this feature yet, it uses the diet and allergies from your profile to create the initial preferences. Afterward you can change supermarket, budget, days, people, appliances and food from the settings.

Are the prices exact?

They are estimates and correspond to the quantities of ingredients used, not necessarily to the price of the full packages. The app indicates when it uses available published prices and when they are estimates. Offers, the store and price changes can alter what you pay at the checkout.

Can I use it if I don't have an oven?

Yes. In “Your kitchen” you tick your appliances and the selection takes into account which recipes you can prepare. You can also indicate a microwave, air fryer, pressure cooker, food processor and other appliances.

What if I don't like one of the dinners?

You can swap that dish or tap “Redo” to look for another combination with the same budget and preferences. The variety depends on the available recipes that fit your filters.

Where do I find this feature?

In the side menu, next to “Weekly plan”, and in Quick actions, under Planning. If you already have a menu, you can also open it from the weekly plan's header.
