Food Profile

Your food profile is the set of preferences Eatgent uses to match recipes to you. It's created during onboarding and stored in your account settings.

What your profile includes

• Cooking persona — your cooking style and lifestyle (e.g., Busy Parent, Fitness Enthusiast, Foodie Hobbyist)
• Diet type — your general dietary approach (e.g., omnivore, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian)
• Restrictions and allergies — specific foods or ingredients you need to avoid
• Preferred cuisines — the types of cooking you enjoy most (e.g., Italian, Mexican, Thai)
• Avoided cuisines — cuisines you'd rather not see in your plans
• Cooking time preference — how much time you typically want to spend cooking
• Spice tolerance — your comfort level with spicy food
• Health goals — what you're optimizing for (e.g., weight loss, muscle gain, heart health)
• Household size — how many people you're cooking for
• Special notes — any additional dietary needs or preferences in your own words

How your profile shapes your plans

Eatgent uses every part of your food profile when selecting and scoring recipes. Recipes that align closely with your profile receive higher fit scores, and recipes that conflict with your restrictions are filtered out.

Your profile also influences your shopping list, since the recipes chosen for your plan determine the ingredients you need.

Where to find your profile

You can view a summary of your food profile on the Settings page under the Food Profile card. It shows your persona, diet type, primary goal, cooking time, spice tolerance, household size, restrictions, cuisines, health goals, and special notes.
