See how balanced your week was
Your weekly plan turns into an honest overview — plant variety, meat share and what's in season. No food diary, no tracking.
No calorie counting. No trackers.
Nutrition apps want to log every gram. You just want to know whether the week was roughly right — whether the kids ate enough variety, whether you had too much meat, whether it was seasonal. You don't need a tracker for that.
Three metrics, directly from your weekly plan.
You plan your week — mangia automatically calculates three values from your recipes: how many different plant types you ate, how much meat per person, and how seasonal your meals were. No extra input, no app-within-an-app. Just an honest view of your week.
Plant diversity
Gut-microbiome research (the American Gut Project / ZOE) links 30 different plant types per week to a healthier gut. mangia counts how many you reached — vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, grains.
Meat consumption without moralising
How many grams of meat per person per week did you eat? The DGE gives a guideline (max. 300 g processed meat per week). mangia shows you where you stand — without judgement.
Seasonal share
How much of what you eat is actually in season in your region right now? mangia marks seasonal ingredients per recipe and gives you a weekly value.
Frequently asked
Do I have to enter calories or nutrients?
No. mangia doesn't need any extra input — it reads your planned recipes to see which ingredients you had and calculates the balance from there. You're planning anyway — the analysis comes by itself.
How does mangia calculate plant diversity?
mangia counts the number of unique plant types in your recipes per week. Tomatoes in three different dishes count as one. The 30-plant-types-per-week guideline comes from gut-microbiome research (American Gut Project 2018 / Spector et al., 2022).
Where does the seasonal data come from?
For Switzerland, mangia uses the official seasonal calendar (WWF/FOAG), otherwise your region's own. So what counts as in season is what's actually in season where you are — a pineapple in January, for example, doesn't.
Does the meat guideline apply to everyone?
The DGE recommends max. 300 g processed meat per person per week as a guideline. mangia shows you the value without comment — you decide what to do with it.
Where do I see the balance in the app?
In the weekly plan view under the 'Balance' tab. The analysis appears once you've planned meals — one week is enough.
