The prompt · ChatGPT
Turn my fridge contents into tonight's meal and a short use-up plan. Contents (from my list or photo description): [paste] Time tonight: [minutes] Household: [who] Prefer: [use most perishable first] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Tonight's dinner. 2. What to cook tomorrow or freeze. 3. What to bin if it's clearly gone (general food-safety caution — when unsure, throw it out). 4. A tiny shop list only for gaps. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent diagnoses, doses, calorie targets or treatment plans. This is help with preparation, planning and wording, not medical, diet or treatment advice; check the NHS website, speak to a pharmacist, or contact NHS 111; call 999 if it feels like an emergency. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
