Meal Planning Costs
Please note: Cost is consumption based. Billing for meal plans is based on token usage.
An example of a keto meal plan, 3 meals per day + snacks, with no exclusions targeting 1750 cals per day will cost approximately 0.30c AUD.
Token usage is determined by the below factors:
The number of meals chosen. Choosing less meals = less output = lower price.
The number of exclusions. Increasing exclusions = increasing reasoning = increasing reasoning tokens = higher price.
The number of times you select to prompt a recipe.
Meal Planning tips
Meal plans are created using openAI technology, this means data is gathered from many sources and brought together to create recipes based on the criteria selected. Please keep the below things in mind when creating a meal plan:
- A Mediterranean diet by default includes a lot of dairy products. If you choose to exclude dairy significantly reduces the available recipes. Instead - guide your patient to look for lactose free, or other dairy substitutes where dairy is included.
- Many Gluten Free recipes will include gluten free substitutes by default, for example a bagel, wrap, bread or cous cous. Advise your patient to look for Gluten Free versions of these products or use something else instead, e.g. rice, potato or quinoa.
