What they did
1) Have a ChatGPT account that can accept images and take a clear photo of the ingredients on a fridge shelf. Prepare the household's food preferences, dietary constraints, budget, and number of people. 2) Upload the photo and ask ChatGPT to identify what is available. Correct its reading and supply the constraints before it plans meals. 3) Ask for a simple three-day plan using those ingredients, then request full recipes for the selected meals. Use follow-up messages to correct unsuitable suggestions. 4) Ask for the missing ingredients as a grocery list grouped by store section. If comparing local costs, request a local price check as a separate follow-up. 5) Ask it to format the plan, recipes, and shopping list into a printable guide and review it before shopping.
How it went
The tutorial demonstrates the fridge-photo input through to a three-day plan, grocery list, and printable guide.
Worth knowing
The video's health-profile example demonstrates prompting constraints; it does not validate the meals' clinical suitability.
