Step 4 — Nutrition guidance & meal plan
Three cards, one workflow: set the patient's metrics, plan their nutrition targets, build the meal plan.
Key Metrics
The starting point. Enter:
- Weight and Height (units follow your App preferences)
- Activity level
These drive the DRI calculation for the next card.
Nutrition Planning
DRI targets calculated from the Key Metrics, with two clinician levers:
- Adjust targets — override the calculated DRI for any nutrient
- Priority nutrients — flag the nutrients you want highlighted on the patient's side
- Patient-visible nutrients — control which nutrients the family sees in the parent app
Meal Planning
Build the actual meal plan.
- Search recipes from your library + community
- Drop foods into meals; nutrition recalculates live against the targets above
- Multi-day range
- Edit recipe-by-recipe before publishing
Where the plan lands
| Patient state | Where it shows |
|---|---|
| Connected to Heartful Sprout | Meal Plan tab in the app |
| Not connected | Attached as PDF — deliver via email or download |
Plans can also be saved to your standalone library — see Clinical tools.
