# Meal Plan

The Meal Plan API lets developers integrate the Whisk Meal Planner into their apps.

## What is a Meal Plan?

In Whisk, a Meal Plan is an endless schedule of meals set for each day. Every user has a single meal plan that gets automatically created for them.

## Auto-Generation Process

**How does it work?**

The [Meal Plan API](/api/meal-plans.md) uses an algorithm to calculate the precise number of calories each user should consume based on their age, height, weight, gender, health goals, and activity levels as present in their profile. Then, based on the user's caloric requirement and other details like dietary preferences, allergies & intolerance, disliked ingredients, and cooking preferences, a tailor-made meal plan is created. The auto-generated meal plan includes recipes taken from Whisk’s extensive and varied recipe database that are found suitable to the requirements.
