Foleil connects a recipe's serving choice to its ingredient quantities. Whether you cook for one meal or prepare several portions, the ingredient list follows the amount you choose. This turns a recipe from a fixed page into a practical part of food planning, with the quantities close to the steps you use in the kitchen.
How it works
Open a recipe and enter the servings you want. Foleil scales its ingredient quantities from the saved recipe yield and displays them beside the ingredient names and units. Where a finished weight is supplied, the portion control also supports grams. Cooking steps remain available from the same detail screen.
Why it matters
Portion arithmetic matters because a batch and a serving describe different amounts of food. The WHO healthy-diet guidance, reviewed 19 October 2026, discusses dietary adequacy, balance and diversity; it does not validate a recipe calculator. Foleil addresses a narrower practical task: show the ingredient requirements of the portion choice you make. Scaling a recipe does not prove the nutrition of a cooked plate or that the serving suits every person's needs.
Compared with other approaches
MacroFactor's custom-recipe guide, reviewed 19 October 2026, documents recipe servings, ingredients and preparation steps. Recipe arithmetic is therefore shared territory. Foleil's advantage for this reader is its position inside a sequence that includes meal slots, ingredient shopping and training-day organisation. You can move from deciding how much to cook into deciding when to cook it and what ingredients to prepare.
The evidence
Foleil scales from the saved quantities and yield, not from an image of the final dish. A supplied finished weight supports a grams-based portion; without it, a grams choice cannot be invented from the number of servings. Ingredient units retain their meaning. Nutrition remains dependent on the ingredient information saved for that recipe, with unknown values kept separate from zero. The useful evidence is the arithmetic and its inputs, rather than a guarantee about the food on your plate.
Put it into your day
Suppose you want dinner and two lunches from one cooking session. Inspect the recipe's saved yield, choose the servings that match your intended batch and read the updated ingredient list. Check what you already have before shopping. While cooking, remember that yield can change with preparation and evaporation; if you use finished weight for logging, use the weight that actually describes your batch. Place the intended meals in the week separately from recording consumption. That keeps three tasks clear: ingredients required to cook, portions you intend to use, and food you later choose to log.
Frequently asked questions
Do ingredient quantities change with servings?
Yes. Foleil scales the saved ingredient quantities using your serving choice and the recipe’s yield.
Can I use grams for every recipe?
A grams-based portion needs a supplied finished weight. Foleil does not invent that weight from the recipe name.
Does scaling certify the nutrition?
No. Nutrition depends on the saved ingredient and label information, while preparation and actual portions can differ.
Does a portion in the planner mean I ate it?
No. Cooking quantities, scheduled meal portions and logged consumption have separate roles. Record the portion you actually choose to log rather than assuming the plan proves consumption.
