You can also look up branded packaged products via barcode scan (powered by Open Food Facts), and add your own custom foods.

Yes. When you deliver a meal plan, MealStack generates a WhatsApp share link with a pre-filled message and optional PDF download link. Your client receives the plan directly in their WhatsApp chat.

The free plan supports up to 3 clients with basic meal planning, the IFCT food database, and 10 AI credits to try. Upgrade to Starter (₹1,499/mo) for 25 clients, full IFCT + INDB + USDA database, client portal, and 150 AI credits/month.

The client portal is a branded, installable PWA (Progressive Web App) that your clients add to their home screen. They can view meal plans, log meals (as planned, modified, or skipped), track water, log weight, chat with you, view goals, and get push notifications. You see real-time compliance tracking with a calendar showing exactly which meals were logged vs missed each day.

You can send messages to clients directly from their profile in your dashboard. Clients receive push notifications and can reply from their portal. The full conversation history is preserved in the client record, so you never lose context like in WhatsApp threads.

Every practitioner gets a free landing page at mealstack.io/p/your-name. It shows your services, testimonials, FAQ, contact info, and social links. Share it as your link-in-bio on Instagram, WhatsApp status, or business cards. It's SEO optimized and mobile-first.

Clients take a photo of their meal in the portal. GPT-4o Vision identifies the foods, estimates portions, and looks up nutrition from the IFCT/INDB/USDA database. The client confirms the detected foods before saving to their diary. It's trained on Indian cuisine: dal, roti, sabzi, dosa, and more.

Yes. When you set up alternative foods for items in a meal plan, clients can tap any food and choose from approved alternatives. Nutrition is recalculated in real-time so they stay within their targets.

Yes. When you search for a food in the meal plan builder and don't find it locally, MealStack can look up branded products (like Amul, Britannia, MTR, etc.) via Open Food Facts. You can also enter a barcode number directly. Once you find the product, click 'Save & Add to Meal' to save it as a custom food in your practice for future use.

All IFCT and INDB data is verified bit-for-bit against the original published sources using automated audit scripts. We run source-level verification to ensure zero data drift from import. USDA data comes directly from FoodData Central. Custom foods and branded lookups are unverified (labeled accordingly) and practitioners should cross-check with product labels.

Yes. Press ⌘B (or Ctrl+B on Windows) to toggle the sidebar between expanded and icon-only mode. The sidebar also auto-collapses when you're inside a meal plan editor to give you maximum canvas width. Your preference is remembered across sessions.
