Free Family Meal Planner & Nutrient Tracker | SustainBite

Questions people ask

What is SustainBite?

A meal planner that plans your week around vitamins and minerals, not just calories. From your age, sex, height, weight and activity it works out daily targets for energy and about 50 nutrients, then plans breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks from over 3,000 recipes to meet them, for you or your whole family, with one grocery list.

Is SustainBite free?

Yes. Everything is free for everyone until 31 January 2027. From 1 February 2027 the basics stay free, and a few extras (prices in Norway, the food budget and weeks planned beyond the one you are in) will cost NOK 49 a month or NOK 490 a year per household, VAT included. Nothing is charged today.

How does SustainBite work out my nutrient needs?

From your sex, age, height, weight and activity, by the standard where you live: the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023 in Norway and Iceland, the UK government's in the UK, EFSA's in the EU, and the US and Canadian Dietary Reference Intakes elsewhere. You can choose another standard, or set a target yourself, in Settings.

Where do the nutrient numbers come from?

From the USDA's FoodData Central and, for people in Norway, from Matvaretabellen, the Norwegian food composition table. Packaged products come from Open Food Facts. Each recipe's nutrients are added up from its ingredients.

Can I plan meals for my whole family?

Yes. Add each person with their own age, height and weight (a child without an email too), or invite someone who has an account. One week is planned for everyone: the same dishes, each person eating a portion that fits their own needs, and one grocery list for the kitchen.

Does it work for vegetarians, vegans and allergies?

Weeks can be vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian or anything. You can leave out pork, beef, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, dairy, alcohol and more, and the allergens the EU names, such as gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, soy and sesame. SustainBite reads what each recipe contains from its ingredients, but it never says a recipe is safe for an allergy: check the ingredients.

How is a recipe's climate footprint worked out?

Each recipe's kg CO2e per serving comes from Agribalyse 3.2 (ADEME), from farm to plate, and is shown when we know at least 95% of its weight. Weeks made for you lean towards dishes with a lower footprint, unless you turn that off; your nutrient needs come first.

Can I share my plan with a nutritionist?

Yes. You choose whether a nutritionist may only see your plan or also change it, and you can take that back at any time. Nutritionists plan their clients' weeks and print reports with their own practice's name. Find a nutritionist lists the approved ones.

Does SustainBite sell my data?

No. We don't sell your data, and we don't use what you eat for advertising. The privacy policy says what we keep and why.

Can I use SustainBite from Claude or another AI app?

Yes. Add https://sustainbite.com/mcp as a custom connector in Claude (Settings, Connectors) and allow it on SustainBite. Claude can then plan, change and save weeks for you and your family, read your reports and grocery list, keep your Fridge & pantry and order home cooks' meals within a weekly limit you set. It can't change your sign-in, delete your account or email anyone but you. Disconnect it in Settings at any time.
