How to create nutrition based menu in meal prep company

Menu management in an experienced meal prep company requires a combination of many advanced processes:

• Arranging a variety of menus for many available meal plans or diets - assigning different meals to different nutrition plans,
• Taking care of the variety and rotation of meals over time - providing different meals for each day, and even giving the customer the opportunity to choose different meals every day,
• Portioning meals depending on the selected caloric variant (daily portion size) - adjusting the size of meals to achieve the assumed macro goals,
• Creating individual meals depending on the nutritional preferences of individual customers, eg exclusions or dislikes,
