@nicole_elzer Thank you for your comment. Yes, that's what we are trying to achieve!
Hello ProductHunt! We wanted to showcase to this community the project that our student group from the PeaceX Student Venture Studio has worked on over the past few months, StuChef!
As many college students can attest, trying to eat healthy while cramming for tests, finishing labs, and writing essays can be hard, let alone trying to get into the world of cooking. We found some troubling trends with our future engineers, doctors, and entrepreneurs.
- “A study found that eating fast food might have a negative impact on grades”
- “A survey discovered that 36% of college students in the United States are food insecure, which means they aren’t able to eat enough”
- “40% of four-year college students have trouble affording healthy meals”
- “About 63 percent of college students aren't eating the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables every day,”
- “About 175 college students were also surveyed on their willingness to change their diet and increase their fruit and vegetable intake”
- “Eighty-four percent of students consumed fast-food with 54% eating it at least once a week”
- “54.7% of students spent $5–6 per meal. Seventy-seven percent reported it likely that healthier meals would cost more”
Most students don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables, eat fast food once a week, and 40% of students have trouble affording healthy meals. All of this, according to studies, not only translates into worse health, but worse performance in school.
StuChef looks to solve these problems by creating a robust and intuitive tool that lets you pick great recipes that focus on trying cheap yet healthy meals for you. Some features to help with that are:
🏷 Tags for all of your dietary restrictions, meal types, and cooking levels
📹 Video tutorials shows how to perform and use the most common cooking techniques
💲 Details on the average price of the meal’s ingredients to keep track of your budget
⏱ Cooking times to make sure you can fit in your meals in a busy schedule
💡 Detailed nutritional facts to make sure you know what you are eating
And many more you'll discover as you start playing around!

Happy cooking everyone!
This is such as useful tool! I had to spend so much time learning how to meal prep!!
I like this idea because I'm not that great at cooking, so this would really come in handy!
Good idea, I loved it! I'm not a college student but I can see myself using this app.
This app is perfect app for college students; you all really did a great job making an easy to use and helpful app for the target demographic. Really exciting stuff!
