Customizing Recommendations

Adjust how ClapDiet generates food and meal recommendations

4 min readUpdated Sep 2, 2026

Food recommendations and AI meal plans both read the same saved profile. This

article says what each part of that profile does, and where each part is

edited.

What shapes a recommendation

  • Your conditions. Recommended foods are those rated Good or Excellent for a condition you have listed. With no conditions listed, you are shown what people log most instead.
  • Your diet mode. Picking a mode on the Recommendations page regenerates the list with that mode's targets and avoid-lists.
  • Your allergies. A food whose name contains one of your allergens is never suggested. This is a name match: it cannot see ingredients that are not in the name.
  • Your dietary preferences. A diet type, restrictions and disliked foods, each saved on the phone, remove foods that break them.
  • Your feedback. On the web, each recommended food has a helpful and a not-helpful control. Marking a food not helpful stops it being suggested again.
  • The AI meal plan generator reads all of the same, plus your medications, your

    cuisine preferences and your latest lab panel.

    Editing your preferences on your phone

  • Open Profile and tap Dietary Preferences
  • Pick your Diet Types, mark any Dietary Restrictions, and tick your cuisines under Cuisine Preferences
  • Tap Save Preferences
  • Allergies have their own screen: Profile, then Allergies & Intolerances.

    Editing your preferences on the web

  • Open Settings
  • Under Allergies & intolerances, type an allergen and click Add allergy; each saved allergy carries a severity you can change
  • Diet type, restrictions and cuisines cannot yet be edited on the web; set them

    on your phone and both apps read them.

    Seeing the effect

  • Open Recommendations on the web
  • Today's Picks and Recommended for You reflect your saved profile; each card says which condition it is based on
  • Pick a Diet mode to regenerate the list under that mode
  • On your phone the same lists are the For You and To Limit tabs under

    Foods.
