Dietary preferences and filters

Tell Magic Meal Kit how you eat once, then use library filters to find what fits.

First-launch onboarding

The first time you open the app you'll see a short quiz that captures your dietary preferences and food allergies. Tap Next through the welcome, dietary, and allergies screens, then Done on the last screen to save. You can dismiss the quiz at any point and your current selections are kept.

You can change anything you set in the quiz later from Profile → Preferences.

Set your dietary preferences

Open Profile → Preferences and tap Diets to open the menu, then tap the preferences that apply to you. A checkmark marks each one you've picked:

• Vegetarian
• Vegan
• Pescatarian
• Gluten-free
• Dairy-free
• Keto
• Paleo
• Low Carb
• Low Sodium
• Halal
• Kosher
• Low-FODMAP
• Whole30
• Kid-Friendly

Pick as many as you want. The menu closes after each tap, so reopen it to add another. The list is also where future recipe-recommendation features will look first.

Set your food allergies

In the same screen, tap Allergies and mark any of the FDA's major food allergens that apply: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, sesame, gluten, mustard, celery, sulfites.

Allergy warning badges on recipes are coming in a future release. For now, preferences are recorded and synced to your account so they're ready when those features land.

Set foods you dislike

Under Disliked Foods, type a food you'd rather not eat, like cilantro or olives, and tap Done on the keyboard to add it. Tap the minus button next to a food to remove it. Add up to 50.

Unlike allergies, dislikes are a taste preference, not a safety concern. Chef leaves them out of its suggestions or offers a swap, but recipes in your library aren't hidden or flagged.

Set daily nutrition goals

Under Nutrition Goals, enter daily targets for calories, protein, carbs, and fat. Every field is optional; leave one blank for no goal. Goal-aware meal planning is coming in a future release, so for now these are recorded and synced to your account.

Filter your library

On the Recipes tab, tap the filter icon to narrow the list:

• Quick and easy: recipes with 30 minutes or less of total prep + cook time.
• High protein: recipes with at least 30g of protein per serving.
• Show archived: include recipes you've archived.

Filters combine. Add a collection filter from the tag icon to narrow further.

Search

The dedicated Search tab searches your whole account at once. Results match on recipe titles, ingredient names, and Meal Kit weeks. Useful when you're hunting for "anything I can make with chickpeas".
