Grocery Planning

Grocery Planning was built for weight-management clinic patients who shop on a weekly budget. Twenty-four staples get one tile each: the lowest nearby price, calories and protein, plus whether Dallas food pantries usually carry the item. Opening a tile shows the nutrition panel and every store's tag. If a price isn't real, the tile stays blank. Never a guess.

The cart keeps a running total against a daily and weekly budget and defaults to a single store. “Find optimal route” picks the cheapest set of stores deterministically in code — not in the model — and binds each item to a stop. Print produces a printable, downloadable list of exactly what's in the cart, grouped by store.

Ask is a nutrition chat that takes food-diary and recipe uploads, suggests healthier swaps, and builds a grocery list. Answers come from 119 clinic Physical Handouts (109 English, 10 Spanish) via keyword search and cite the file name; Spanish questions prefer Spanish handouts. Guardrails hold throughout: ten requests per device per day, a 1,200 kcal/day floor, in-scope questions only, no diagnosis. A profile with SECA printout fields — maintenance calories, fat %, visceral fat, skeletal muscle — plus goal, deficit, and allergies feeds every Ask turn. The sheets are education, not personalized medical advice.
