How is “budget” decided?

The budget tier is a coarse flag on each plate — low, medium or high — set from typical ingredient costs. It is a guide for ordering plates in a plan, not a price quote.

Can the grocery list merge repeated ingredients?

Yes. The same ingredient across the week lands on one line with combined quantities — 200 g plus 300 g shows as 500 g.

Where do the data values come from?

Purine totals from the USDA/ODS-NIH Purine Database; nutrients from USDA FoodData Central. Sourced, never estimated.

Is this medical advice?

No. GoutPlate presents sourced data and tool output. It does not provide medical advice — see the full disclaimer.

Eating for gout gets expensive fast when a plan leans on specialty products. This preset flips the order of operations: the budget tier narrows the pool first, and the week gets built from what remains — regular supermarket staples, not niche brands.

The merged grocery list is part of the same generator: quantities for the same ingredient combine into one line, grouped by store section, ready to print.
