How we create our meal plans
We build recipes using ingredients you can find at a regular supermarket, and every ingredient comes from our calorie chart. This means the app calculates the calories, protein, carbs, and fat in every meal—we don’t just guess. Servings are tailored to the plan’s calorie level, and daily totals vary by no more than a few percent.
Each day includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and most plans also include a morning snack and an afternoon snack. You can swap meals between days as long as they’re for the same time of day, and the shopping list adds up the ingredients for the whole week.
How to choose a meal plan
Start with the daily calorie needs calculator. If you want to lose weight, choose a plan that’s 300–500 kcal below your result—the calorie deficit calculator estimates how much weight you could lose per week. Meal plans organized by diet are set around the middle of the calorie range, so they’re easy to adjust by changing all servings by the same percentage.
