About this app

One meal for one person or the whole household, everyone’s own share. Cheflex plans your week, dishes up a portion of every meal to suit each person at the table – lose fat, build muscle or just eat well – and writes the shopping list. 1,700+ healthy recipes from 130 cuisines. No account, no ads, no subscription.

The recipe says 40 g of protein. But whose? Cheflex knows who’s at your table and splits the pot to suit each of them. You don’t cook twice.

FAMILY MEAL PLANNER: ONE MEAL, A PORTION FOR EVERYONE
• Cook for 1 to 4 people. Each has their own goal: lose fat, get lean, build muscle or maintain.
• Whoever is losing fat gets more of the meat or tofu and less of the side. Whoever is building muscle, the other way round. If the pot can’t cover it, a personal extra comes in, such as a protein shake.
• Your portion shows as a slice of the pot, in per cent and in calories. Nothing to weigh.
• Children from three eat the same meal, with a portion to suit their age.
• Training day? You get more energy and a sports snack.
• Not into numbers? Just ideas, no numbers shows the food without calories.

WEEKLY MEAL PLAN AND MEAL PREP, YOUR WAY
• Meal planning for 1 to 14 days: breakfast, snacks, lunch, dinner. Set what’s eaten at home day by day. Just dinners is fine.
• Busy day: almost every meal under 15 minutes.
• The evening before, the app reminds you what to prep for tomorrow.
• Nothing repeats within a plan. Thumbs down and a dish won’t come back; thumbs up and it comes round sooner.
• Swap meals between days or for another dish.

SHOPPING LIST FROM YOUR RECIPES
• The list adds up every recipe in the plan, groceries sorted by aisle.
• Knows pack sizes and what’ll be left over; Already have some takes off what’s in the cupboard.
• Share the plan, the list or a recipe as text or a picture.

SHARED SHOPPING LIST: TEAMMATE
• Everyone else at home joins as a Teammate via a QR code. They see what’s cooking, tick off the shopping and give meals their own thumbs up.
• Data travels between phones encrypted. Free in every version.

BUDGET MEALS: ON A BUDGET FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES
• One switch and your plan uses only the cheapest dishes: eggs, lentils, chicken, quark and seasonal veg instead of salmon and prawns.
• Food comes out roughly a quarter to a third cheaper (measured across six types of household). Calories and protein stay on target.
• On a budget is in the free version too.

HIGH-PROTEIN, HEALTHY RECIPES FROM AROUND THE WORLD
• British favourites made lighter: turkey-mince shepherd’s pie, fish pie, kedgeree, a lighter full English.
• More protein, less fat and sugar, nothing deep-fried. Calories and macros are worked out from the ingredients.
• Everything from an ordinary supermarket, with swaps for anything unusual.
• Filters: quick (under 20 minutes), high protein, veg-heavy, cuisine, sweet, spicy.

GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE, VEGETARIAN AND VEGAN RECIPES
• A filter for the 14 major allergens, lactose intolerance, vegetarian and vegan. Always free.
• Some recipes get a swap – tofu instead of meat, say – and the app tells you.
• Rate tastes like coriander, chilli or seafood from 1 to 5 – each person separately.

NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, RECIPES OFFLINE
• No sign-up. Your data stays on your phone.
• Recipes and maths live on your phone, so it works with no signal. Anonymous stats only if you switch them on.

PRICE: PAY ONCE, KEEP IT
• 100 recipes free with every feature for 1–2 people. Try your first plan with the whole household.
• The full version is a one-off payment, no subscription: the whole collection, households of up to 4 and plan themes (an Italian week, oven bakes). It stays with you on a new phone.

Portions rest on published research (Mifflin–St Jeor, FAO/WHO, ISSN), with sources in the app. Cheflex is a meal-planning tool, not a health service. It doesn’t diagnose or treat anything and is no substitute for a doctor or a registered dietitian.

Cook it. Flex it.
