Hi HN,Over the past year I've lost more than 40 pounds.One thing I learned during that process is that meal planning was far more important for me than calorie tracking.I had already built a nutrition tracking app, but I kept running into a different problem. Most nutrition apps help answer:"What did I eat today?"The question I cared about was:"What am I going to eat this week, and does it support my goals?"I wanted to understand the nutritional impact of a meal plan before eating and make adjustments ahead of time instead of trying to fix things after the fact.I originally built MealPlans.dev for myself to plan around calories, protein, sodium, and potassium. Over time I added carbohydrates and fat as well.The goal is simple: build a meal plan, understand its nutritional impact, and make informed decisions before the week begins.I'd love any feedback or suggestions.

meal planning has way less competition than calorie tracking apps
whats the backend stack for the nutrition data
macro colors need more contrast for quick scanning
naming a meal planner.dev seems like a weird branding call
strong positioning against calorie trackers. whats the pricing model?
why.dev for a meal planning app
hard to gain traction in such an oversaturated meal planning market
awesome you shipped this, what's the stack?
what's the data source for nutritional info? usda api or something custom built
