ChefGPT
ChefGPT suggests recipes from your pantry, builds weekly meal plans with shopping lists and logs calories from meal photos, on web, iOS and Android, with an API for developers.

What is ChefGPT?
ChefGPT is an AI cooking and nutrition app that suggests recipes from what you already have, builds weekly meal plans and helps you track calories. It is available on the web and as iOS and Android apps, and it also offers a developer API for businesses that want to add recipe generation to their own products.
The app is built for home cooks who struggle with deciding what to make, people working toward weight or macro goals, and anyone who wants to waste less food by using up pantry ingredients.
Key Features of ChefGPT
PantryChef: recipes from your ingredients
List what is in your fridge or cupboard and ChefGPT proposes a recipe that uses those items, which is handy for using up leftovers before they spoil.
MasterChef: recipes for any dish
Search for a specific dish or idea and the AI writes a recipe for it, adjusted to your preferences.
MacrosChef: recipes built around nutrition targets
Set calorie or macronutrient goals and get recipes designed to fit them, aimed at people following a fitness or diet plan.
MealPlanChef with shopping lists
ChefGPT can plan a full week of meals around your goals and dietary needs, then produce a shopping list for it.
Photo-based calorie tracking
Take a picture of a meal and the app estimates its ingredients and nutrition and logs it, reducing manual food-diary entry. These figures are estimates and should not replace professional dietary advice.
Pantry tracking
You can record ingredients as you shop or cook so the app knows what is available and can suggest recipes that use it.
ChefGPT Pricing
The ChefGPT website does not publish consumer prices. The app links to a subscription management page inside your account, so plan prices are shown during sign-up in the app or web app and may vary by store and region. Developer pricing is published on the separate ChefGPT API site.
Prices checked on October 27, 2026; check the official pricing page for current plans.
The API terms allow only requests driven by human end users and prohibit storing or scraping returned data unless permitted.
Who Should Use ChefGPT?
- Home cooks who want quick dinner ideas from ingredients already at home.
- People tracking calories or macros who prefer photo logging to typing every food.
- Busy households that want a weekly meal plan and shopping list generated for them.
- Food, fitness or health app developers who need a recipe and meal-plan API with embeddable widgets.
Is ChefGPT Worth It?
ChefGPT bundles several useful kitchen tools in one place: ingredient-based recipes, goal-driven meal plans, shopping lists and photo calorie logging. For people who cook regularly and want structure around eating, that combination can save planning time and reduce food waste.
The main drawback is pricing transparency, since consumer plan prices only appear in the app. AI recipes and nutrition estimates also need common sense: check quantities, cooking times and allergens yourself, and treat calorie numbers as approximate. If you want a single app for recipe ideas and basic tracking, ChefGPT is worth testing on your phone before subscribing; developers can compare the API tiers by request volume and endpoints.
