      Quick answer

      The fastest answer to “what should I cook tonight?” starts with what you already have: snap your fridge or type your ingredients, pick “Quick” – and AI suggests a recipe that is ready in 20 minutes or less.

      Why deciding is the hard part

      After a long day, what is missing is often not time but an idea. Recipe collections offer too much choice, and many suggestions need ingredients you do not have. A suggestion based on your own fridge cuts the decision down to one tap.

      Three goals for three situations

      Quick is preselected on this page: 20 minutes total or less and few steps. High protein suits post-workout meals or dieting while keeping muscle. Low calorie focuses on volume with few calories, e.g. vegetables and lean protein.

      Don’t like the suggestion? Tap “New recipe” and try another goal or add ingredients. Two recipes per day are free.

      Track it after cooking

      Every recipe shows calories and macros per serving. If you are working towards a calorie or protein target, log the meal in the GymLog AI app afterwards – or snap the finished plate with the calorie scanner.
