How to Adjust Your Diet Type (Website)

When you first log in, you are asked to select a diet type.  That diet type is used as the default diet type to find recipes in your Recipe Box.  You can also enter any other dietary restrictions you may have. However, as you look for recipes for your simple meal plan, you can make adjustments to your dietary restrictions quickly and easily in the Recipe Box.

If you are using the website, you will follow the steps below. If you are using the mobile app, please click here.
