Swaps, not overhauls
Vittelio never hands you a stranger's meal plan. It looks at the week you reported and proposes same-meal replacements: if a bacon cheeseburger is your usual lunch, it might suggest a spinach & strawberry salad with quinoa in that same slot — trading red meat and cheese for leafy greens, berries, and whole grains, at roughly the same mealtime rhythm you already have.
Every card explains itself in plain language: what you currently eat, what would replace it, and exactly which MIND food groups the change adds — down to the points, like “+2.5” on the card above.
Ranked and calorie-aware
- Best first. All possible improvements are ranked by how much they raise your score, so the first couple of changes are your biggest wins.
- Calories kept in check. Swaps are preferred over additions precisely because they are roughly calorie-neutral — the goal is a better pattern, not a bigger one.
- Your tastes matter. Near-equal options lean toward the cuisines you already eat, and anything you avoid is filtered out entirely.
- Never a step backwards. A suggestion must genuinely raise your score, never costs you a food group you already had, and is never a sweet or fried dish.
You approve everything
Suggestions arrive as cards you review one by one. Don't like a dish? Skip shows you an alternative that makes the same improvement. Nothing enters your plan until you accept it — the plan is only ever what you reported plus what you approved. And every accepted dish comes with a step-by-step recipe, so there's never a suggestion you don't know how to cook.
