A nut-free meal plan for a household that can't risk it

A nut-free setting isn't the same as allergy-proof

Planning meals for a nut-allergic household comes with a different kind of stress than most dietary preferences — it's not "I'd rather not", it's "this can't happen". The honest thing to say upfront: a meal plan can keep nuts and nut-based ingredients out of what it suggests, but it can't check a real packet for "may contain traces" or catch cross-contamination in an actual kitchen. That part is still on the person cooking, every time, no matter what generated the plan.

What a plan can actually help with is the planning fatigue — scanning every recipe idea for hidden nuts (pesto, satay, certain granolas) gets old fast when you're doing it meal by meal. This planner excludes nuts from every meal it builds once you set the allergen, alongside your calorie and diet targets, and generates the shopping list to match. Set the nut exclusion above and just try it — and keep checking labels and asking about cross-contamination the way you already do, because that safety net is still yours to hold, not the planner's.

Common questions

Does the nut-free setting cover peanuts too?
Yes, the nut exclusion keeps out both tree nuts and peanuts from the meals it builds. Always double-check packaged products yourself, since labelling and cross-contamination are outside what any planner can see.
Is a meal plan enough for a nut allergy?
It's a useful starting point for deciding what to cook, not a safety guarantee — checking labels and asking about cross-contamination when eating out still matters just as much as before.
