How accurate are the macros and calories for fridge meals?

Macros and calories are estimates based on ingredient databases and typical portion sizes. They're good enough for tracking trends and staying roughly on target, but they're not lab-tested. If you need more precision, you can weigh ingredients and cross-check with a nutrition app.

What kind of ingredients work best with this tool?

You'll get the best results by picking basic whole foods (proteins, grains, vegetables, fats) instead of branded products. For example: "chicken breast, rice, broccoli, olive oil" is easier for the tool to turn into a balanced meal than a long list of processed snacks.

Can I use this with my weekly meal plan?

Yes — "Meal from Fridge" is perfect for days when you want to stay on plan but improvise with what you have. You can keep your main weekly meal plan for structure and use this tool for flexible lunches or dinners when ingredients don't match the original recipes.
