From Samsung Food's help centre (September 2025). Tailored 7-day plans are part of Food+, at £6.99 a month. We didn't check whether a Food+ week meets your daily target.
Each person gets their own portion.
Samsung Food's settings hold one household size and one diet for each account (its help centre, February 2025). You change a recipe's servings before you add it. Susten gives each person at your table a small, medium or large portion. A shared meal leaves out what anyone eating it avoids.
