Gut-friendly meal plan, planned to your goal
A gut-friendly way of eating includes fermented foods like yogurt, miso and tempeh, and fiber-rich bases like oats, legumes, onions and garlic. In Cauli, a meal counts when it has a fermented food or one of those bases in a real amount, and at least two-thirds of your week's main meals do, inside your calorie and protein target.
What counts as gut-friendly in Cauli
A fermented food (50 g of yogurt or Greek yogurt, 10 g of miso, or tempeh) or a fiber-rich base (30 g of oats, 60 g of legumes, 60 g of onion, shallot, leek or scallion, or 12 g of garlic).

Why plan it, not just follow a list
Gut health content is everywhere on social media, and most of it promises too much. Cauli keeps to what's on the plate.
How Cauli plans a gut-friendly week
- Two-thirds of your main meals. At least two-thirds of the week's breakfasts, lunches and dinners meet the gut-friendly bar. Snacks and the Evening treat are too small to count.
- Still on target. Every day lands within 5% of your calories with protein close behind, from your goal: lose fat, build muscle, recomp or maintain.
- Around your week. Each meal is a Cook, a Batch or a Leftover, planned around the nights you can't cook.
- Combine focuses. Hold several; each must reach two-thirds of your main meals on its own. Pick it in onboarding or just tell Cauli.
- Never overrides the basics. Allergies, the foods you won't eat and your Daily target always come first.
What we don't claim
We say a week includes fermented and fiber-rich foods. We never say it heals your gut, fixes bloating or works as a probiotic. A Food focus is a way of eating, not a medical diet. If you have a medical condition, plan with your doctor or a registered dietitian.
Other Food focuses
- High fiber
- Whole foods
- Anti-inflammatory
- Mediterranean
- Low carb
- Low sugar
- Plant-forward
- High protein

Questions people ask
Does Cauli do low-FODMAP?
No. Low-FODMAP and other managed medical diets are out of scope. Gut-friendly in Cauli is a way of eating, not a treatment.
Will every meal have yogurt?
No. A meal counts with a fermented food or a fiber-rich base like oats, legumes, onions or garlic, so the week stays varied.
Is a gut-friendly week still portioned to my calories and protein?
Yes. A Food focus tilts which meals Cauli chooses. Every day still lands within 5% of your calorie target with protein close behind, and the focus never overrides your allergies or the foods you won't eat.
