Everything MorselMetrics does.
Here’s the whole app, in a bit more detail. If you want the nuts and bolts of the data and the maths, there’s a link at the bottom.
1
See the whole week at once
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for every day, in a calendar you can flip between day, week and month. If Tuesday worked, copy it to Thursday and get on with your night.
Cooking for more than one? Pick who’s eating each meal and give everyone their own portion. Your teenager can have a double serve of the pasta bake while you have one, and both your numbers stay right.
2
Or let us fill it for you
Free autofill fills a single day; Pro adds whole-week autofill. Tell us the dates, who’s eating, how each of you eats and anything that’s off the menu: mushrooms, peanuts, coriander, whatever. Pick the vitamins and minerals you want to keep an eye on, and we’ll put a plan together from our recipe book and, if you switch it on, your own saved recipes.
Nothing saves until you’ve had a look. Keep the meals you like, refresh the ones you don’t, and if you change your mind after saving, there’s an undo. For now it plans for one or two adults, and you can add meals for the kids yourself.
3
Bring your own recipes
Paste a recipe website link, or copy the ingredients and method from your notes or a packet. Supported links bring the recipe into the analyser; if a page cannot be read, paste its recipe text instead. We match ingredients to food data and convert supported amounts into grams you can check and change.
If something’s unclear, like “a knob of butter” or “a tin of tomatoes, drained”, we ask instead of guessing. When we have to use a close match, like natural Greek yoghurt for a brand we don’t have, it’s labelled so you know. Save it, change the servings, and export your recipes whenever you like.

Numbers for each person, not an average person
A 16-year-old, a 45-year-old and someone who’s pregnant all need different amounts of iron. Everyone in your household is compared with the recommended daily intake for their age, sex and life stage, so the bars actually mean something for them.
Pin the vitamins and minerals you care about most, set your own targets if your dietitian has given you some, and line everyone up side by side. Upper limits sit off to the side as a warning, never as something to aim for. Weekly and monthly views count every day, including the ones you didn’t plan, so a couple of good days can’t make a patchy week look better than it is.
5
See what’s missing, and where everything came from
Tap any vitamin or mineral and you’ll see which ingredients it came from. You might find the lentils are carrying your whole day’s iron, or that one swap would sort out your calcium.
If a food’s data doesn’t include a nutrient, we mark it as missing instead of counting it as zero, so you’re never told you’re fine when we simply don’t know. To fill a gap, search for any food and add it to a meal. Suggested foods and swaps are coming soon.
6
Look up any food
About 1,600 Australian foods from the official Australian food database. Check any of them at whatever amount you’re eating: 30 g of pepitas, 150 g of cooked lentils, one egg.
Or flip it around and rank foods by what you’re after, like highest in iron or most calcium per 100 g. Handy when you’re filling a gap, and handy if you’re studying this stuff.
7
One shopping list for everything you’ve planned
Every ingredient from your plan lands in one list, already scaled to everyone’s portions. Tick off what’s in the pantry and you’re left with what you actually need to buy.
Print it for the fridge or take it on your phone. If we used a close match for the nutrition, the list still says what the recipe asked for, so you’re not standing in the dairy aisle looking for something you never wanted.
Shopping for 6 to 12 Oct8
Planning around a health condition
If your dietitian or GP has given you targets, like more iron while you’re pregnant or a set amount of calcium, add them as personal targets and see your planned meals against them. Ingredient exclusions skip recipes with matching ingredients, but matches can be missed. They are not suitable for managing a food allergy; always check recipes and product labels.
MorselMetrics gives you information, not medical advice, and it doesn’t do low-FODMAP plans. It works best alongside your dietitian: plan the week, then go through the numbers together.

What we’re working on
Planning from what’s already in your fridge, so the week gets built around food you’ve got and less ends up in the bin. Suggested foods and swaps that close a gap in one tap.
Suggested swaps, pantry planning and reusable weeks will be labelled as available only when they are ready. For current Pro features and availability, see Plans.
