Grocery List Builder

Cooking more than one recipe this week? I combine their ingredients into one list, summing matching items instead of making you cross-reference recipes by hand.

How the list gets combined

  • Same item, same unit: the quantities add up into one line, scaled to the servings you set for each recipe.
  • Same item, different units: two lines, since I'd rather show you both than guess a conversion and get the total wrong.
  • No set amount: things like salt to taste get listed without a number.
  • Aisles: items are grouped as produce, protein, dairy, pantry, or other by matching the ingredient name, so give the Other section a quick look.

An example list

These are the four recipes from the sample day in What Is a High-Protein Diet?, each as a full batch: Breakfast Casserole , Chicken Salad , Cottage Cheese Bowl , and Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Zucchini Noodles . Combined, that's 28 items. The cottage cheese shows up in more than one recipe, so its amounts are added into a single line. Open this list in the builder to check items off or change servings.

Planning a day first

If you'd rather start from the meals, the protein meal-day builder lets you pick recipes for a day, totals the protein and calories, and sends the set straight here. The protein recipe finder is the fastest way to find recipes that clear a protein number per serving.

Questions about this tool

How does this handle the same ingredient in different units?
If one recipe calls for cups of something and another calls for grams of the same item, I keep them as two separate lines rather than guess a conversion and risk an incorrect total. Check both lines when you shop.
What happens to a recipe without a full ingredient breakdown yet?
It's listed by name in its own section rather than silently left out, so you know to check that recipe's page directly for its ingredients.
Does my list save if I close the tab?
Checked-off items are saved on this device so a list survives a reload. The recipe set itself lives in the page URL, use it from the meal builder or bookmark this page to keep a list long term.
