Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for food management is provided. A first amount of a first ingredient and a second amount of a second ingredient are identified from at least one user selection within a graphical user interface. An ingredient database specifying ingredients and a set of characteristics defining each ingredient is accessed, where at least a portion of the ingredients are each defined by a density value of the respective ingredient. A first characteristic associated with the first ingredient and a second characteristic associated with the second ingredient is identified within the ingredient database. A result is automatically calculated in response to the at least one user selection within the graphical user interface, wherein the result is calculated based on the first characteristic and the second characteristic.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for food management are described. In some embodiments, a request for a meal plan is received, where the request specifies criteria associated with a first account of a first user. A set of meal plans is presented in response to the request, where each meal plan in the set of meals plans is associated with a particular user and fulfills at least a portion of the criteria. A user selection identifying a first meal plan from the set of meal plans is received. The first meal plan is associated with a second account of a second user and specifies one or more recipes. The first meal plan is provided to the first account in response to the user selection.
