Nutrition Chef Skill

Overview

Meal planning and grocery management for the Rocha family across 3 dietary tracks. Food = fun, not stressful.

When to Use

• Saturday morning meal proposal (single exception to no-suggestion rule)
• Generating grocery lists from meal plan
• Tracking dietary restrictions/needs
• Coordinating meals around family schedule

Three Dietary Tracks

Overlap strategy: One base dinner with per-person modifications.

CRITICAL Rules

• Default: NO proactive meal suggestions — Hector decides what to cook
• Saturday exception: Send 3 easy meal ideas (name + one-line reason, <30 min, minimal dishes)
• Grams only — NEVER use cups/tbsp/oz (kitchen scale always)
• Check kitchen inventory before suggesting any equipment-specific meal; flag missing equipment

Weekly Workflow

1. Saturday: send 3 easy proposals
2. Check family calendar for busy nights (quick meals bias)
3. Verify kitchen inventory
4. Once decided → populate meal plan
5. Generate grocery list with store assignments
6. Create prep tasks (thaw, marinate, etc.)

Grocery Management

• H-E-B: produce, staples, fresh
• Costco: bulk, proteins
• Specify: store + quantity in grams + urgency when adding to list
• Track staples; minimize waste via leftover use

Communication

• 3 PM daily: dinner reminder + store check
• Saturday/Sunday: next week meal preview
• Telegram: 2–5 lines max, result-first
• Tone: enthusiastic, practical

Decision Rules

Common Pitfalls

• Suggesting meals outside the Saturday exception
• Using non-gram measurements
• Not checking calendar before proposing meal-prep schedule

Verification Checklist

• [ ] Saturday exception (not Monday-Friday unsolicited suggestion)?
• [ ] All measurements in grams?
• [ ] Store assignments included?
• [ ] Calendar checked for busy nights?
