🧠 Why you need to configure MealGrid

MealGrid works best when it reflects your household’s real constraints and preferences. Configuration ensures:

• Your recipe recommendations stay aligned with your dietary pattern and goals
• Your shopping list math matches how you actually buy ingredients (package sizes + units)
• Your recipe library stays clean and usable over time (archives)
• AI-generated recipes match your profile (via the 🟢 Recipe Generation Master Prompt)

✅ What you must change (minimum setup)

🥗 1) Confirm your dietary baseline (Required)

This defines what recipes and ingredients are considered “safe” for your MealGrid.

You’ll configure this by curating your recipe library (not by flipping a single global switch):

• Add/edit recipes in Recipes and keep only what fits your baseline.
• Keep your pantry aligned in Pantry.

📐 2) Confirm your measurement approach (Required)

MealGrid’s shopping math depends on units and package assumptions.
