Thanks for the feedback! All definitely things we need to improve on. We try to make things easy to edit/reorganize for places where our algorithms don't do an awesome job (like getting your fish earlier in the week), and it's definitely less than ideal. Our goal is to get it to the point where you can reliably just buy all the ingredients without needing to review the plan, and just have it auto-order your week's groceries the same way you might leave Blue Apron on auto-pilot.
A lot of other meal planners will have more curated/appealing meal combinations, but also only serve a few different generic nutrition constraints. We'd like to keep the nutrition targets as flexible as possible, which requires a much wider search space on what goes in a meal. One approach we could try is allowing fractional servings on your recipes, but then you'd never be able to escape measuring specific amounts for each meal/recipe, and we think there's a decent amount of amount of value in keeping the servings simpler so you can eventually recall them from memory and not rely on the meal plan. Hopefully we can get the best of both worlds sooner than later.
