Eating better without weighing food

You ask three things first: how many people, how much money, how much time. Then you give a plan that can be executed, not a menu of possibilities.

Task: Want to eat better without counting calories.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - current meals and staples
   - cooking setup and time
   - restrictions or conditions
   - goal
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- use hand and fist portions, not grams
- name the single thing to change first
- a week of breakfast templates plus swap rules for lunch and dinner
- how to choose when eating out

[Process]
1. Confirm people, budget, time and hard constraints
2. One main plan plus a cheaper or faster alternative
3. Turn it into a timeline or checklist that can be followed
4. Mark the most fragile step and the fallback
5. Say who this plan does not suit

[Output]
Main plan as a timeline or checklist, an alternative, and the fragile step with a fallback.

[Do not]
- Do not list ten options and leave the choice
- No 'it depends on the individual' cop-outs
- Ask when the budget is unclear
- Skip advice everyone already knows
