Sends these items to Instacart, which builds a cart you can review and check out there. Your list leaves this device for that request only — nothing is stored, and nothing identifying you goes with it.
Sends this list to an address you type. It is used for that one email and stored nowhere — no account, no mailing list, nothing to unsubscribe from.
Looks up what each line is at a store near you — brand, size, aisle and price — so you shop from real products instead of translating in the aisle. This does not place an order; Kroger's API can't, so checkout stays on their site.

daily calories and carb split set above
color and number · projected body fat (darker = higher)
the whole plan at a glance — color · projected body fat (darker = higher)
In rate mode your daily calories are the OUTPUT: the forecast prescribes the intake that delivers this rate, for as long as your physiology can deliver it.
Optimal: the intake that holds your deficit exactly, to the calorie, every day.
The projection is a day-by-day simulation in which two compartments change: fat and glycogen-bound water.
Calories. In the target modes, your global daily-calorie budget is the day-0 intake; the day-0 deficit (maintenance − intake) is then held, so as maintenance falls with weight your prescribed calories fall in step. In rate mode the requested lb/week fixes the deficit (×3500 ÷ 7) and calories become the output. The weekly rate the other modes report is always an output, never an assumption.
Fat. Each day's deficit is capped by the fat-oxidation ceiling (~31 kcal per lb of fat mass per day — Alpert 2005), so the rate tapers as fat shrinks; intake is never prescribed below 1,200 kcal/day. Fat lost = deficit ÷ 3,500 kcal/lb.
Metabolic adaptation (optional) lowers maintenance by up to 15% of TDEE, scaled by the fraction of body weight lost.
Water. Glycogen binds ~3 g water per gram, and the glycogen level follows CARB intake (from your macro split). Cutting carbs sheds a bounded, front-loaded water weight over ~2 weeks (τ = 5 days) — the real "first-week whoosh" that isn't fat, and it returns if you refeed. With the toggle off, weight change is fat only.
Maintenance = weight × activity factor (13–17 kcal/lb). Body-fat % follows the exact decomposition of weight into fat, water, and lean mass held constant.
Whether a suggestion is a plate you assemble or a recipe you cook.
Search and pick as many as you like — a food has to satisfy every one to be suggested.
How many of each kind of food a meal is built from. The macros are still solved to your targets — this decides what goes on the plate, not how much.
Narrow what each slot can draw on. Tick nothing in a group to allow anything.

Mifflin–St Jeor BMR × activity. This is roughly what holds your weight steady — to lose fat, use it as a ceiling and eat below it (the Plan projects the result).
