Your daily nutrition guide
Optional · for one person

Enter your measurements for an estimated maintenance calorie target and a starting macro balance. Then explore meals that work toward it.

Your measurements stay on this page while it is open. They are not saved or included in your box request.

How this estimate works

Mifflin–St Jeor estimates resting energy from age, weight, height and a sex-based coefficient. We multiply it by a rough activity factor for maintenance calories; activity factors are a planning assumption, not measured energy expenditure. The equation was studied in adults aged 19–78. The female/male options refer to the original equation, not gender identity; the range option shows both coefficients.

A starting balance of 20% protein, 50% carbohydrate and 30% fat is one example within adult reference ranges. These estimates do not prescribe weight loss, evaluate micronutrients, or replace personalized advice from a registered dietitian. For medical diets, pregnancy, breastfeeding or eating-disorder care, use clinician-provided targets with the chef.

01 / Make it your week

Each added meal is one individual serving. Your target reflects days × people × meal types.

Specialized or medically prescribed diet?

Use the request notes for low-FODMAP, renal, diabetes-related, ketogenic, or other prescribed requirements. These need individual chef review and are not automatically validated by these filters. No menu item is certified kosher.

Filters check the listed sample ingredients only. Shared-kitchen cross-contact is not assessed; severe allergies and celiac requirements need direct confirmation.

Nourishment, not numbers

Good food. A kinder approach.

We celebrate satisfying meals, variety, energy and everyday enjoyment. This app does not offer weigh-ins, weight-loss challenges or rewards for changing your body. Your progress is personal, and your worth is never measured by a number.

Nutrition, dietary changes & your wellbeing

Balanced and sustainable comes first.

Blue Cottage Kitchen does not promote crash diets, extreme restriction, starvation, detox regimens or other unsafe eating practices. A guide appearing here is not a recommendation that you follow it. Personal notes and custom milestones are self-reported; the app cannot assess whether an individual plan is safe.

Understand a plan before changing your routine.

Avoid major, abrupt dietary changes without appropriate guidance. Learn from reliable sources about a plan’s nutritional needs, limitations and a suitable transition for you. Make manageable changes while continuing to eat enough and maintain variety.

Medical needs deserve medical guidance.

Speak with your doctor and a registered dietitian before restrictive elimination plans such as AIP, or any diet intended to manage a health condition. They can help assess suitability, avoid nutritional deficiencies and plan a safe transition or reintroduction. Never test a known serious food allergen at home, stop medication or replace medical treatment with an eating plan.

About the information in this app

Blue Cottage Kitchen provides culinary services and general educational information, not diagnosis, treatment or individualized medical nutrition therapy. Sample nutrition values are estimates; guides, filters, milestones and personal summaries do not guarantee dietary suitability, allergy safety or health results. Confirm ingredients and personal requirements with the chef, and discuss medical decisions with a qualified clinician. Do not delay medical care because of information in this app.

Use this app as a meal-planning aid. You are responsible for seeking appropriate professional advice before acting on dietary information. Nothing in this notice excludes rights or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.

The optional daily nutrition estimator uses measurements only while that page is open; those measurements are not saved to your profile. Existing saved information is not automatically deleted by this update.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between chef-designed and à la carte?

Chef-designed dishes are complete meals you select from the menu. À la carte lets you assemble one plate from a main, up to two sides and an optional sauce. Each finished plate counts as one meal serving. Components are not ordered separately in this builder.

Can I mix both styles in one box?

Yes. Add chef-designed meals, then switch to Build your own for custom plates. Both appear in My box. Use + and − to choose the number of servings.

How do I create a profile or reset my password?

Choose Sign up and enter your email and password. Confirm your email once, then add your profile details. Next time choose Sign in. If you forget your password, use Forgot password and open the newest email. Check spam or junk if a message is missing.

Does sending a box request confirm an order?

No. Review my box prepares an email request. You must tap Send in your email app. The chef confirms recipes, availability, pricing, delivery details and acceptance separately. Signing in or saving a box does not place an order.

Are nutrition estimates and dietary filters guaranteed?

No. These are sample estimates and ingredient filters, not verified nutrition labels or allergy guarantees. Tell the chef about allergies and restrictions. Final ingredients, portions and suitability must be confirmed before an order is accepted.

Can I save meals and use them next week?

Yes. Sign in, save a dish, or save a named box from My box. Your profile keeps favorites and preferences. Review the new week, portions and delivery details each time you make a request.

Who can see my profile, photos and progress?

Clients cannot browse each other’s profiles. Saved profile data and private photos are restricted to your signed-in account by the app’s access rules; authorized service administrators may manage the underlying system. Progress photos and health check-ins are optional. Sign out on shared devices.

What do the eating journeys and medals mean?

Journeys provide educational food guides, checklists and personal reflections. Insights summarize your entries; they do not diagnose symptoms or prove a diet caused a change. AIP needs clinician or dietitian support. Medals celebrate recorded check-ins and goals, with no cash value or prizes.

Can I add the app to my phone?

Yes. Open Add to your Home Screen above for iPhone and Android steps. The shortcut should show the Weekly Kitchen meal-prep icon. A bookmark on its own does not add an icon to the Home Screen.
