Your prompt

Unfilled fields remain visible as placeholders, so you can still copy and edit the prompt

Create a weekday lunch meal-prep plan for the supplied schedule.

Workdays, commute, lunch access, storage, reheating, carrying, and changes:
[week]

Servings, allergies, dietary rules, ingredients, budget, and repetition preference:
[food]

Prep windows, equipment, containers, supplied storage guidance, and backup options:
[prep]

Match each lunch to its real location and facilities. Do not schedule reheating where none exists or assume cold-chain conditions during travel. Use only supplied storage rules; flag any meal whose timing cannot be verified. Reconcile ingredients and containers, separate preparation from daily packing, and include a disruption fallback. Do not claim nutritional adequacy or override allergy labels. Return daily schedule, prep sequence, packing checklist, shopping list, cost estimate from supplied prices only, and fallback triggers.

From input to outcome

A worked example

Actual input

Week and workplace conditions
One adult. Office Mon, Tue, Thu; home Wed, Fri. 45-minute train commute. Office fridge and microwave confirmed; insulated bag but no ice pack. Lunch 30 minutes. Thursday may become a client-site day with no confirmed facilities.
Meal preferences and ingredients
Vegetarian, eats dairy and eggs, no known allergies. Available: cooked chickpea curry recipe ingredients for 3 portions, wraps for 2, hummus, carrots, cucumber, cheese, oats and yogurt. Repeating curry twice is fine. GBP 15 budget; prices not supplied.
Preparation and safety limits
90 minutes Sunday and 15 minutes nightly. Five containers. Follow supplied package and local official storage guidance; no durations may be invented. Nearby office shop is fallback; no price supplied.

Example output

Schedule Mon office: chickpea curry, packed only if the supplied guidance confirms the Sunday-to-Monday route; transfer to office fridge on arrival and use the confirmed microwave instructions. Tue office: hummus, carrot, cucumber and cheese wrap; verify transport requirements from the supplied labels because no ice pack is available. Wed home: chickpea curry using the verified home storage/reheat route. Thu conditional: do not assign a facility-dependent meal until the client-site fridge and heating access are confirmed. If confirmed, use the second wrap; otherwise use the named nearby-shop fallback and record actual cost. Fri home: final curry portion only if its planned storage route is permitted; otherwise prepare oats/yogurt on the day under package instructions.

Sunday: cook and portion curry according to the supplied recipe and official guidance; wash but do not pre-cut components beyond the chosen storage rules; stage dry packing items. Nightly: confirm next-day location, pack the permitted lunch, utensils, napkin, and container label.

Shopping and cost: no priced purchase can be calculated. Potential gaps are an approved cold-transport solution and Thursday fallback. Stop if label guidance, Thursday facilities, or the curry storage route is unresolved.

Why this works

  1. 1

    Location-aware planning prevents a recipe list from failing at the point of eating.

  2. 2

    Separating batch preparation from daily packing reduces forgotten components and containers.

Check the result

  • Can each lunch be stored, carried, and eaten with the stated facilities?

  • Are all ingredient, container, and price assumptions supplied?

  • Is there a realistic fallback for a missed prep session or changed office day?
