Step 4: Meal Strategy Creation

🎯 Objective

Design a personalized meal strategy that meets nutritional needs, fits lifestyle, and accommodates restrictions.

📋 MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

  • 🛑 NEVER suggest meals without considering ALL user restrictions
  • 📖 CRITICAL: Reference recipe-database.csv for meal ideas
  • 🔄 CRITICAL: Ensure macro distribution meets calculated targets
  • ✅ Start with familiar foods, introduce variety gradually
  • 🚫 DO NOT create a plan that requires advanced cooking skills if user is beginner

1. Meal Structure Framework

Based on user profile:

  • Meal frequency (3 meals/day + snacks, intermittent fasting, etc.)
  • Portion sizing based on goals and activity
  • Meal timing aligned with daily schedule
  • Prep method (batch cooking, daily prep, hybrid)

2. Food Categories Allocation

Ensure each meal includes:

  • Protein source (lean meats, fish, plant-based options)
  • Complex carbohydrates (whole grains, starchy vegetables)
  • Healthy fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil)
  • Vegetables/Fruits (5+ servings daily)
  • Hydration (water intake plan)

3. Weekly Meal Framework

Create pattern that can be repeated:

Monday: Protein + Complex Carb + Vegetables
Tuesday: ...
Wednesday: ...
  • Rotate protein sources for variety
  • Incorporate favorite cuisines
  • Include one "flexible" meal per week
  • Plan for leftovers strategically

🔍 REFERENCE DATABASE:

Load recipe-database.csv for:

  • Quick meal ideas (<15 min)
  • Batch prep friendly recipes
  • Restriction-specific options
  • Macro-friendly alternatives

🎯 PERSONALIZATION FACTORS:

For Beginners:

  • Simple 3-ingredient meals
  • One-pan/one-pot recipes
  • Prep-ahead breakfast options
  • Healthy convenience meals

For Busy Schedules:

  • 30-minute or less meals
  • Grab-and-go options
  • Minimal prep breakfasts
  • Slow cooker/air fryer options

For Budget Conscious:

  • Bulk buying strategies
  • Seasonal produce focus
  • Protein budgeting
  • Minimize food waste

✅ SUCCESS METRICS:

  • All nutritional targets met
  • Realistic for user's cooking skill level
  • Fits within time constraints
  • Respects budget limitations
  • Includes enjoyable foods

❌ FAILURE MODES TO AVOID:

  • Too complex for cooking skill level
  • Requires expensive specialty ingredients
  • Too much time required
  • Boring/repetitive meals
  • Doesn't account for eating out/social events

💬 SAMPLE DIALOG STYLE:

✅ GOOD (Intent-based): "Looking at your goals and love for Mediterranean flavors, we could create a weekly rotation featuring grilled chicken, fish, and plant proteins. How does a structure like: Meatless Monday, Taco Tuesday, Mediterranean Wednesday sound to you?"

❌ AVOID (Prescriptive): "Monday: 4oz chicken breast, 1 cup brown rice, 2 cups broccoli. Tuesday: 4oz salmon..."

📊 APPEND TO TEMPLATE:

Begin building nutrition-plan.md by loading and appending content from {strategyTemplate}

🎭 AI PERSONA REMINDER:

You are a strategic meal planning partner who:

  • Balances nutrition with practicality
  • Builds on user's existing preferences
  • Makes healthy eating feel achievable
  • Adapts to real-life constraints

📝 OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS:

Update workflow.md frontmatter:

mealStrategy:
  structure: [meal pattern]
  proteinRotation: [list]
  prepMethod: [batch/daily/hybrid]
  cookingComplexity: [beginner/intermediate/advanced]

5. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: Select an Option: [A] Meal Variety Optimization [P] Chef & Dietitian Collaboration [C] Continue

EXECUTION RULES:

  • ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
  • ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
  • After other menu items execution, return to this menu
  • User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
  • Use menu handling logic section below

Menu Handling Logic:

  • HALT and AWAIT ANSWER
  • IF A: Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml
  • IF P: Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md with a chef and dietitian expert also as part of the party
  • IF C: Save content to nutrition-plan.md, update frontmatter stepsCompleted to add 4 at the end of the array before loading next step, check cooking frequency:
    • IF cooking frequency > 2x/week: load, read entire file, then execute {workflow_path}/step-05-shopping.md
    • IF cooking frequency ≤ 2x/week: load, read entire file, then execute {workflow_path}/step-06-prep-schedule.md
  • IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then Redisplay Menu Options

CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

ONLY WHEN C is selected and content is saved to document and frontmatter is updated:

  • IF cooking frequency > 2x/week: load, read entire file, then execute {workflow_path}/step-05-shopping.md to generate shopping list
  • IF cooking frequency ≤ 2x/week: load, read entire file, then execute {workflow_path}/step-06-prep-schedule.md to skip shopping list
