# MealThinker

> AI meal planning app that remembers your kitchen, dietary preferences, and nutrition goals to plan personalized meals in seconds.

## What is MealThinker?

MealThinker is an AI-powered meal planning assistant that solves the daily "what's for dinner?" problem. Unlike ChatGPT (which forgets between sessions) or traditional meal planning apps (which can't think creatively), MealThinker combines persistent memory with AI intelligence.

Users chat naturally - "I have pasta, tomatoes, and spinach" - and get personalized meal suggestions that account for their pantry inventory, dietary restrictions, nutrition goals, and taste preferences.

## Key Features

- **Persistent Memory**: Remembers your preferences, allergies, kitchen inventory, and goals across every conversation
- **Pantry Tracking**: Knows what's in your kitchen and suggests meals using ingredients you already have
- **Nutrition Tracking**: Automatically logs calories and macros, identifies nutritional gaps, and suggests meals to fill them
- **Smart Shopping Lists**: "I'm out of bread" removes from pantry and adds to grocery list instantly
- **Recipe Saving**: Every recipe is saved and searchable - find "that Thai curry from last week" anytime
- **Meal Planning**: Plan a day or a full week in one message, portioned to hit calorie and macro targets
- **Any Diet**: Vegan, keto, gluten-free, high-protein, low-carb - any dietary approach works
