Food That Fits You
You’re About to Become a Much Better Dinner Chef
Diet Match gives you a personal chef’s supply of ideas, recipes, and inspiration, anytime you’re standing at the refrigerator, shopping for groceries, or wondering what to make on the way home.
Keto, Low-Carb, Mediterranean, Carnivore, Plant-Based, Heart-Healthy, Paleo, and many more. Pick the plan that fits your kitchen.
It’s 5:30 on Tuesday, and Suzie is standing in front of the refrigerator. Her husband is eating low-carb, she’s trying to cut calories, and one of the teenagers has apparently declared war on vegetables.
There’s chicken in the refrigerator, half an onion, some broccoli, cheese, three mushrooms and a bell pepper that probably has one good day left in it. There’s plenty of food. What Suzie doesn’t have is an idea.
She keeps staring into the refrigerator as though dinner might reveal itself if she leaves the door open long enough.
A personal chef would know what to do.
A good chef looks at those ingredients and sees possibilities. Chicken could become something creamy, spicy, Mediterranean, low-carb, roasted, grilled or turned into a dish Suzie would never have thought of on her own.
Most of us don’t have a personal chef hanging around the kitchen at 5:30. We do, however, have a phone in our pocket.
That’s where Diet Match comes in.
Tell Diet Match how you want to eat and what ingredients you have. Within moments, Suzie has several directions she can take dinner.
That chicken finally has a job.
Suzie Just Became the Chef
Diet Match gives the person cooking dinner a much bigger supply of ideas. Suzie still decides what sounds good, cooks the meal, adjusts the seasoning and discovers what her family will actually eat.
She simply walks into the kitchen better armed.
She has recipes, ingredients, instructions, cooking tips and a place to turn when her own imagination has clocked out for the evening. The same woman who was staring helplessly at chicken and broccoli a few minutes ago suddenly has options.
Before Diet Match, Suzie sees ingredients and wonders what she can make.
Chef Suzie sees dinner.
Pick Your Diet. Pick an Ingredient. Find a Recipe. Cook Dinner.
Diet Match is designed around the way dinner actually happens. You don’t have to spend Sunday afternoon planning every meal for the coming week and hoping Thursday cooperates.
Start with tonight.
Choose the way you want to eat. Diet Match currently supports Keto, Low-Carb, Mediterranean, Carnivore, Plant-Based, Heart-Healthy, Paleo, and many more ways of eating.
If you like Portuguese food, tell it that, and that’s what you’ll get. If you’re hankering for some hot and spicy Ethiopian fare, tell Diet Match, and you’ll get a recipe found in Ethiopia’s kitchens.
Tell it what ingredient you want to use. Maybe it’s chicken, salmon, ground beef, broccoli, or the avocado that has finally entered its narrow window between rock-hard and compost.
Diet Match gives you recipes built around those choices. Find one that sounds good, cook it, and save it if your household wants to see it again.
The process stays simple: choose the diet, choose an ingredient, find a recipe, and save the winners. Dinner doesn’t need another complicated system.
See It In Action
Here’s exactly how it works
Four quick questions, and Diet Match hands you real recipes, not just a list of ideas.
Step 1
Pick the diet you’re cooking for. Twelve to choose from, including your own if none of them quite fit.
Step 2
Pick the meal. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snack, drinks, or something for a special occasion.
Step 3
Add a style if you want one. Spicy, Italian, comfort food, or type in whatever you’re actually craving.
Step 4
Name a specific dish, ingredients that have to be used, a carb limit, or anything else worth knowing.
Step 5
Diet Match hands you four recipes at once, with net carbs, calories, and prep time up front.
Step 6
Open any recipe for the full ingredient list, numbered steps, and a photo. Save the keepers to My Cookbook.
Your Chef Goes Wherever You Go
Suzie is standing in the grocery store and notices salmon is on sale. She pulls out her phone, checks Diet Match, and sees what she could make with it before putting anything in the cart.
Later in the week, she’s leaving work and realizes dinner hasn’t even entered her mind all day. She can check Diet Match before she gets home and have an idea waiting when she walks through the door.
She may be sitting in a doctor’s office, waiting for an oil change, or thinking about the weekend while drinking coffee on Saturday morning. Her recipe ideas are still sitting in her pocket.
That makes Diet Match useful before Suzie ever reaches the kitchen.

One Kitchen Can Contain a Lot of Different Diets
Feeding one person is fairly simple. Feeding several people can start looking like a small catering operation.
One person is Keto. Another wants Mediterranean. Somebody is watching sodium, somebody wants more vegetables, and somebody else considers vegetables an unnecessary complication.
Then there are teenagers, whose nutritional requirements can apparently change without notice. This week, “Mom, I think I’m going to be vegan!”
The person making dinner gets handed the problem. She has to figure out what fits how everyone wants to eat, what ingredients are available, what people might actually eat, and how much effort she’s willing to put in tonight.
Diet Match narrows the choices before the cooking starts. Instead of wandering through millions of recipes, Chef Suzie starts with her household, her ingredients, and the way they want to eat.
More choices don’t always make the decision easier. Diet Match works with the information you give it. Then, it shows you four recipes. Not overwhelming.
That’s a much smaller problem to solve.
The Internet Already Has Millions of Recipes
Google can give you more chicken recipes than you could cook in several lifetimes. Pinterest can keep you occupied until everybody in the house has given up and started eating cereal directly from the box.
One recipe works for the low-carb eater, but the kids won’t touch it. Another looks good for everybody else but doesn’t fit the way Suzie wants to eat, while a third requires eleven ingredients she doesn’t own and one she has never heard of.
Twenty minutes later, everybody is hungrier, and McDonald’s is starting to look suspiciously reasonable.
A chef approaches the problem differently. She looks at what she has, decides what fits, and starts narrowing the possibilities.
Diet Match helps you do the same thing.
I Built Diet Match Because I Watched This Happen in My Own Kitchen
I build apps that solve everyday problems and give people some of their time back. Food became one of those problems in our house.
I have type 2 diabetes, so I’ve spent years paying close attention to what I eat and trying to stay Keto-friendly. My wife loves to cook and does a great job of making food that works for me.
But even somebody who enjoys cooking gets tired of answering the same question every day: “What should I make tonight?”
By late afternoon, you’ve already made hundreds of choices about work, appointments, bills, family, and everything else that wandered across your path. Then dinner shows up and wants another decision.
Add several people with different tastes or dietary needs, and cooking starts resembling one of those math problems where three trains leave different cities at the same time.
Except the trains are hungry.
Diet Match started as a way to make that decision easier in our own kitchen. The more I worked with the idea, the more obvious it became that our kitchen wasn’t unusual.
People usually know when they want to eat better. The hard part comes when they’re tired, hungry, short on time, and trying to feed several people at once.
The drive-thru has become very good at solving that problem. I wanted the choice to cook something at home to become easier too.
A Good Chef Knows How to Use What’s Already There
Remember Suzie’s bell pepper?
A chef often starts by looking at what’s available. That might be chicken that needs cooking, broccoli nobody has touched, ground beef hiding in the freezer, or vegetables getting dangerously close to their expiration date.
Diet Match lets you start there.
That can mean fewer groceries quietly dying in the back of the refrigerator and fewer trips to the store because somebody announces, “We don’t have anything for dinner,” while standing in a kitchen full of food.
Have you seen grocery prices today? Groceries cost too much for that nonsense.
The ingredients you already bought should have a chance to become dinner before they turn to mush.
Chef Suzie gives them one.
One Takeout Order Can Cost More Than Diet Match
There’s nothing wrong with takeout. Sometimes you want pizza, a cheeseburger, or somebody else to cook dinner, and Diet Match isn’t going to be offended.
The expensive habit begins when takeout becomes the answer simply because nobody could think of anything else to make.
A restaurant or delivery meal for a family can easily run $40, $50, or considerably more. Avoid one unnecessary takeout order and the $29 Home Chef plan can already start making financial sense.
There’s also the way you intended to eat.
If you’re following Keto, Mediterranean, Heart-Healthy, or another deliberate eating style, those exhausted evening decisions can slowly push you away from your plan. You had food in the house and intended to cook something that fit.
You simply ran out of ideas.
Diet Match gives Chef Suzie more of them.
Every Good Chef Builds a Cookbook
The first time you use Diet Match, it helps you find something to cook. Keep using it, and you begin building something more valuable: your own family cookbook.
The Keto chicken everybody liked goes in. So does the salmon recipe that was surprisingly easy and the Plant-Based dinner your teenager actually requested a second time.
That one should probably be preserved under glass.
Over time, your collection begins reflecting the people who actually sit at your table. You collect family favorites, unexpected discoveries, and those dependable meals you can make on a night when nobody feels particularly creative.
A professional chef doesn’t invent every meal from scratch. Chefs remember what worked and come back to it.
With every paid Diet Match plan, you can save recipes in My Cookbook and build that same kind of collection for your household. A few months from now, Chef Suzie may already have dozens of proven answers waiting for the next 5:30 emergency.

Choose the Chef That Fits Your Kitchen
Diet Match comes in three paid levels. The difference is mainly how often you expect to use it and how large you want your personal cookbook to become.
Home Chef
$29 to join
$19/year to renew
A good fit for individuals, couples, and people who want fresh dinner ideas throughout the year.
- 400 recipe summaries generated annually
- View up to 100 of those as full recipes
- Save any or all of the recipes you view
- Access to the private Facebook group
Gourmet Chef
$49 to join
$39/year to renew
A good fit for families, different diets, and households that like more variety.
- 1,000 recipe summaries generated annually
- View up to 250 of those as full recipes
- Save any or all of the recipes you view
- Access to the private Facebook group
Executive Chef
$99 to join
$65/year to renew
A good fit for frequent cooks who want Diet Match to become part of the way they plan meals throughout the year.
- 2,000 recipe summaries generated annually
- View up to 500 of those as full recipes
- Save any or all of the recipes you view
- Access to the private Facebook group
* Recipe summaries are the quick previews Diet Match generates each time you search. Opening one as a full recipe, with ingredients, directions, and a photo, counts against your annual view limit — saving it to My Cookbook afterward doesn’t cost anything extra.
If you mostly cook for yourself or a couple, Home Chef will probably fit nicely. Families and households managing several eating styles will likely appreciate the extra room in Gourmet Chef.
Executive Chef is designed for people who cook often, enjoy experimenting, and expect Diet Match to become a regular kitchen tool.
Pick the level that best matches how you already cook. You can spend your decision-making energy on dinner.
Even Chefs Borrow Ideas From Other Chefs
Every Diet Match plan includes access to our private Facebook group, where members can share recipes, variations, and the meals that surprised them.
And please share the disasters too. Sometimes a recipe sounds wonderful and what comes out of the oven looks like something recovered from a shipwreck.
Every cook has made that meal.
The successful recipes become part of the collection. The failures usually become much better stories.
Put Diet Match to Work for 30 Days
Every Diet Match plan comes with a 30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. The best way to decide whether Diet Match belongs in your kitchen is to cook with it.
Stand in front of your refrigerator and give it an ingredient. Take it grocery shopping, try several recipes, and start saving the ones worth making again.
If Diet Match doesn’t make those dinner decisions easier for your household, request a refund within 30 days. You can also cancel anytime before your next renewal.
You get a full month to see whether Chef Suzie actually earns her new title.
Your Personal Chef Link Goes With You
Choose your plan and pay online. You’ll receive your personal Diet Match link with your license, which means there’s no account setup or password to add to the collection you already can’t remember.
Keep the link handy on the devices you use.
Open it while standing at the refrigerator, walking through the grocery store, or getting ready to leave work. Wherever dinner first crosses your mind, your recipe collection and your next batch of ideas are nearby.
The Drive-Thru Will Still Be There
Sometimes Chef Suzie wants a cheeseburger and fries.
Fine. Go get them. You should think about a shake too.
Dinner doesn’t need to become a nutritional purity contest. Diet Match simply gives you another choice before takeout becomes the automatic answer because thinking about dinner feels like too much work.
And something changes after you’ve used Diet Match for a while.
Suzie isn’t standing in front of the refrigerator empty-handed anymore. She has ideas, recipes, a growing cookbook and a much better sense of what she can do with the food already sitting there.
She has a chef’s imagination in her pocket.
And somewhere along the way, Suzie became Chef Suzie.
See What Your Chef Can Do Tonight
Choose Home Chef, Gourmet Chef, or Executive Chef and put Diet Match to work in your own kitchen. Tell it how you eat, give it an ingredient, and see what sounds good.
Then cook dinner.

P.S. Professional chefs spend years collecting recipes, techniques, and combinations they can call on when they need an idea. Diet Match gives you your own growing supply of recipes and inspiration, right there in your pocket when dinner starts asking questions.
Pick the plan that fits your kitchen and see what Chef Suzie comes up with tonight. And maybe tomorrow at 5:30, when you open the refrigerator and see that package of chicken, you won’t stand there wondering what you’re supposed to do with it — Chef Suzie already knows what that chicken is doing tonight.
