# Family nutrition: plants, meat, seasonal — mangia

> How does my family actually eat this week? mangia shows plant variety, meat share and seasonal automatically — no diary, no tracking app.

## How does my family actually eat?

mangia builds a small balance from your weekly plan: how many plants, how much meat, how seasonal — per week.

## Weekly balance from your plan.

Nothing extra to enter. From the recipes you've planned, mangia builds three tabs: plant variety (how many distinct fruits and vegetables), meat grams per person and seasonal share. No tracking, no diary — just an honest view of your week.

## Features

### Plant variety
See how many distinct fruits and vegetables you ate this week — WHO recommends 30 per week.

### Meat share
Grams per person per week — visible, without getting moralistic.

### Seasonal share
How much of what you eat is actually in season in your region right now.

## Frequently asked

**Do I need a food diary for this?**

No. Balance builds from your weekly plan. What you planned counts — you don't enter anything extra.

**Is it calculated for kids too?**

Yes. In the Family plan you can add kid profiles — quantities scale to kid portions.

**What counts as a "plant"?**

Each distinct fruit, vegetable, legume, nut or herb counts once per week. Potato and carrot are two — carrot and carrot are one.

**Can I see past weeks?**

Yes. You can scroll through past weeks and spot trends — like plant variety dropping in winter.

**Is balance in the Free plan?**

Balance is part of Plus and Family. Weekly plan and shopping stay free in every plan.

**What happens to my data?**

Plans and balance are stored GDPR-compliant. Export everything as ZIP, delete your account permanently.
