Meet Coach Gerald
Let's calibrate your household once so I don't have to keep asking your starting weights, calorie targets, or dietary bans.
Automatically schedules and buys balanced Main + Fruit + Snack + Treat components.
The Weekly Planning Wizard
Step up, log your numbers, lock your schedule, and clear what's about to spoil in the fridge.
Step 1: The Morning Weigh-In
Step on the scale before breakfast. We can't fix what you pretend isn't happening.
If you're dropping 1.0 to 2.0 lbs/week, we stay the course. If you stall for two weeks in a row (loss is 0.0 lbs or under 0.2 lbs), we silently crank up vegetable fiber volume and trim starchy carb portions. If you're shedding >2.5 lbs/week, I'll force more complex carbs into your meals so you don't crash and binge.
Step 2: 7-Day Schedule Matrix
Lock in meal counts and tag Date Nights. Date Night elevates the adult course and gives kids an easy meal.
Leave blank for universal dining tips, or name a venue for tailored menu hacks & price estimates.
Step 3: Crisper Drawer Clearance & Meal Format Directives
Clear out what's about to spoil first, and optionally set weekly style or craving preferences.
I will ruthlessly insert these into dinner before they turn into mold.
Keeps you from buying a fourth bottle of cumin or extra rice you already have.
Soft style preferences or cravings. Gerald will adapt these to fit your protein floors, calorie targets, budget, and expiring foods.
Step 4: Budget Caps & The 'Sanity Valve'
Keep the grocery bill under control and allocate a controlled treat so you don't snap and raid the pantry.
Everyday family packs, low-cost bulk staples. No $12 artisanal sauces.
Controlled Treat ("Sanity Valve")
Adds a 14-portion adult treat to your shopping cart & menu so you don't rage-eat.
Coach Gerald will schedule a realistic 14-serving treat (e.g. 3 boxes of Greek yogurt bars) under "Controlled Treats" to cover both adults for the entire week.
