How to Customize Your Fadeyy Meal Plan
for Dietary Restrictions
A meal plan is only useful if you can actually eat the food in it.
A meal plan is only useful if you can actually eat the food in it. That sounds obvious — but it's exactly where most meal plans fail. They assume a one-size-fits-all eater: no allergies, no intolerances, no religious restrictions, no strong preferences.
Fadeyy was built to avoid that. Your plan should fit your restrictions, not work around them as an afterthought. Here's how to customize it properly.
🚨 Start With the Non-Negotiables
Before anything else, tell Fadeyy what you cannot eat. These aren't preferences — they're hard limits:
Allergies
nuts, shellfish, eggs, soy, dairy, wheat
Intolerances
lactose, gluten, FODMAPs
Religious or ethical
halal, kosher, vegan, vegetarian
Medical restrictions
low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, low-FODMAP
Why it matters: A plan built around an allergy you have isn't just unhelpful — it's dangerous. Hard limits come first. These are filtered out entirely; Fadeyy won't suggest meals that violate a hard restriction, no matter how well they fit your macros.
💛 Then Set Your Preferences
Once the non-negotiables are locked in, tell Fadeyy what you prefer:
Foods you love
and want more of
Foods you dislike
and want to avoid
Cuisines you enjoy
that fit your routine
Cooking styles
you're comfortable with
Preferences are softer than restrictions. Fadeyy will lean toward what you like, but may occasionally suggest something adjacent if it fits your targets better.
Why it matters: A plan you enjoy is a plan you'll follow. Preferences make the difference between compliance and consistency.
🎯 Handle Special Diets Carefully
Some diets are strict frameworks rather than simple ingredient swaps. If you're following one, make sure you're clear about which version:
Vegetarian vs. Vegan vs. Pescatarian
three different plans
Gluten-free vs. Low-gluten
not the same thing
Keto vs. Low-carb
wildly different carb targets
Halal vs. "No pork"
different standards
Be specific. "Mostly vegetarian" and "strictly vegetarian" produce very different plans.
Why it matters: Ambiguous inputs produce ambiguous plans. Precision here saves you from meal suggestions you can't eat.
Check the Macros Still Add Up
Here's where customization gets tricky: removing major food groups changes your macro math. A vegan plan without careful planning can be low in protein. A gluten-free plan can be low in fiber.
After customizing, check that your plan still hits:
Protein
≥ 1.6g/kg
if you're training
Fiber
25–35g/day
for digestion & fullness
Calories
Match your goal
deficit, maintenance, or surplus
Why it matters: Dietary restrictions often create nutrient gaps. Fadeyy helps close them, but it's worth verifying.
🌿Adjust for Seasons and Availability
If you're eating seasonally or working with limited grocery options, update your plan accordingly. Fadeyy can work with what's actually available where you shop, not just what's theoretically ideal.
A plan built around ingredients you can't buy is a plan you can't follow.
🔄Revisit as Things Change
Restrictions aren't always permanent. You might reintroduce foods after an elimination diet, develop a new intolerance, or change your religious practice. Update your plan whenever your reality changes.
A plan built for who you were last year isn't the plan you need today.
💡The Bottom Line
Customization isn't a nice-to-have feature. It's the difference between a meal plan that works and one you abandon.
The best plan isn't the most optimized one. It's the one built around the food you can and will actually eat.
Fits your restrictions AND your macros
This is where Fadeyy was designed to help from the start. Instead of building a generic plan and asking you to work around it, Fadeyy builds personalized meal plans around your restrictions, preferences, and goals — all at once.
You don't have to compromise between "fits my restrictions" and "fits my macros." Fadeyy builds plans that do both.
