Summary of App Behavior

MealFlow is a personal meal prep planning dashboard. The app presents a structured "March Meal Prep Plan" with a stated fitness goal of lean bulk (muscle gain). It displays daily macro targets — 2600 kcal, 170g protein, 280g carbs, and 70g fat — in a clear grid of stat cards. Below the macros is a shopping list table with items and quantities (e.g., Greek yogurt, chicken breast, rice). On the right side, an Action Items panel lists tasks with priority levels (HIGH, MEDIUM) and due dates. A Preferences section displays tags such as "high-protein," "easy-cook," and "costco-friendly."

Things That Did Not Work as Expected

• The checkboxes in the Action Items panel can be clicked and checked, but checking them produces no visual feedback or state change — completed tasks are not marked with a strikethrough, color change, or any other indicator.
• The shopping list has no add, remove, or edit functionality — all items and quantities are hardcoded and cannot be customized.
• The preference tags (high-protein, easy-cook, costco-friendly) are not interactive — clicking them does nothing and they do not filter or sort any content.
• There is no navigation between months or weeks, so the "March" plan feels static rather than part of a dynamic planner.
• Macro targets and fitness goal cannot be edited — the entire dashboard is read-only with no input fields.

Suggested Improvement Prompt

Upgrade MealFlow into a fully interactive meal prep planner. Allow the user to set their own fitness goal and daily macro targets through editable input fields. Make the shopping list dynamic so users can add, edit, and delete items. Make the Action Items checkboxes functional so that checking a task marks it complete with a strikethrough and saves the state. Add the ability to switch between weeks or months. Make the preference tags act as filters that highlight or sort relevant meals. Optionally, add a simple meal suggestion feature that generates meal ideas based on the selected preference tags and remaining macro budget for the day.
