If you truly want to set up meal plans and calorie tracking on autopilot, this is a perfect app. I highly suggest the yearly subscription. I'm my case, subscribing for a year motivates me to use it for my goals. Currently, I am using it to hit calorie deficit goals to lose weight. There are modes for maintaining weight and muscle growth too. So you can use this app how you want to use it. Set your goals. Choose your calories. And off you go.
Reviews for Eat This Much - Meal Planner
← Back to Eat This Much - Meal PlannerReally good app that takes the stress out of meal planning and gives a visual approach of what you have when deciding what to cook. The only thing I would change is that when you add your own food, it puts it in an "uncategorized" list. You should be able to put the food you add into a category (like legumes, dairy, etc).
Love this app! I do wish the scan bar code functionality worked better. It rarely pulls up info when it reads it and if it does its a list of items not the specific one. Also not a wide range of food items when you're trying to add things not on the meal plan. Otherwise its awesome! one of the only apps that allows you to track calories and macros plus cholesterol and sodium levels! Just please improve on the food library to add items and the scan bar code.
Once I got the hang of the app, it was pretty easy. My only concern is that accidentally pushing one button may lose data of the plan you were following for the week (and groceries you already bought for that plan). I am just careful. I accidentally regenerated a meal once that was not part of my grocerie that I bought so I kept regenerating the meal until the original showed up again.
I like how easy it is to navigate. Takes all the hard work out of meal-prepping - mostly thinking about what to cook, which is the thing that takes forever for me. Only thing that would make it a 5 star would be to have it better adjust to meals for multiple people in the household. For example, I cook dinner for both me and my husband so it would be nice if I were able to input his numbers in for that specific meal. (Worth noting, I use the premium version and this is still not possible.)
I am in LOVE 😍😍. For me, the worst part about trying to eat healthy is the meal planning. I have tried many "macros" and calorie tracker apps and never found them useful, because I still had to figure out what to eat. This app does EVERYTHING for you! Enter your goals, what you like and don't like and it tells you what to eat! All you have to do is the shopping and cooking! I recommend this for anyone that finds it easier to be told exactly what to eat to meet your goals.
There's a lot of excellent functionality, but the inability to put more than just carbs fat protein in a custom food prevents me from using this planner. I searched the brand name items I use, and found close but inaccurate information for many of the items. I would rather be able to input the entire nutritional label in custom foods because of this. The paid set of features seems like something that should be free, but I guess they have to make money somehow.
This app has been the perfect guide to what I need to keep my nutrition in check. They say that abs are made in the kitchen, and this app has been a big help in my fitness journal. It does all of the work for you and gives a huge variety of choices for what you can and can't have as well as meal timing. Tje pantry system is also fantastic. I can't recommend it enough.
Best app I've found to keep on a strict calorie intake limit and mix of nutrients. The app is dogged in its quest to give you the correct melange of recipes everyday. Be ready to essentially herded. if you don't want that stringent of a guide, you may want to look elsewhere. I say this because, for example, the app will have you eating asparagus for breakfast... ,
It's very solidly good. I upgraded to the paid version and I am enjoying the ease of meal planning and monitoring my calories. There are a few areas that are a bit wonky, such as grocery lists that don't fully match meal planning, and not being able to copy and paste a meal from one day to the next. But overall I would recommend this app! One more plus is that if you have a question and you email the help desk they're very good about responding quickly.
I got the upgraded version of the app for 59.99 for the year and was able to plan out my meals for an entire week. Even generated a shopping list. Very easy to use and has helped me on my diet. My one con about it is that it is too easy to switch meals. I did it on accident and couldn't figure out how to get that meal back. I had already planned out my week and had gone shopping. Luckily I figured it out.
I love this app.! I was in search of a easy to use app. With recipes, calorie intake , macros and food preferences. This app checks every box for me. It also has a shopping list and delivery component. Oh, and the feature that let's you integrate and rotate out/in pantry items is wonderful. Thank you so much. This app. makes life so much easier and stress free for weekly meal planning. I will use this app forever. One bug, some exclusions do appear In the meal plan. However I make substitutions
So far I like what it has to offer for free. It has recipes which is a plus you can follow and it plans possible meals you can eat and try out at each meal of the day. I find it all overwhelming and it really narrows it down when it comes to seeing what you can eat. Only thing I don't like is the grocery list locked behind a paywall wall when you want to know what to buy ahead of time.
I honestly don't think I would be able to confidently count my calories without this app. It makes everything very easy and simple. I use to be overwhelmed but they thought of everything! I dont have to eat foods that I don't want. I dont have to commit to that day's plan. I dont even have to convert measuring units back and fourth or look up a long recipe. It's all right there in one spot. Very affordable. Quick responce from customer service. Thank you!
This app is great for a basic meal tracking, but for a paid (and pretty expensive) product, it lacks a lot of features. There is no separation of the recipe components - like, sauce, garnish, etc. Also, if the different components of the recioe use the same ingredient, there is no way to separate them. ?Also, there is no way to scale the recipe up. I tried this app multiple times over the years in hope that it will improve features and every time waisted my money.
BEST APP FOR LEARNING HOW MUCH AND WHAT TO EAT!!!!! It gives you exactly how much to put in a recipe for a single serving or several servings. there's choices to change up meals you like or don't like. it is completely customizable. EXTREMELY EASY TO USE. Macros and calendar of meals are all included for free!!!!! I've tried lots of apps but this is by far the absolute BEST
Such a great app to help choose meals based on my goals. It also helps that the app provides macros for all ingredients to help me track much easier. And I love the beta version for family members! A little expensive, but I'm using the free trial right now. And free version is still a great app. I'm surprised this app isn't more popular. Thank you for helping us make nutrition and tracking so much less stressful with less decisions every day. And we've found new favorite go to meals!
I looked at some of the reviews that were critical, and I feel like a lot of them stem from just...not paying attention to what's on the screen. This is great if you need something to tell what to eat and when and you don't feel like sitting there using up time on writing charts and diagrams and calculating every ingredient for every meal. Most apps are just food logs. Like, yeah, I ate some uhhh...chicken and tuna...log...okay...what else... Essentially this app saves a TON of time.
App has slowly been getting worse. Generating meals for the week no longer has much variety. Every time I refresh it gives me the same meals despite having 'Variety' chosen. Pantry and Grocery has been bugged for weeks; it either gives the incorrect amount needed for groceries or doesn't remove eaten food from my pantry. Hopefully it's just a simple coding bug since I've been using the app for several years with little to no issues until now.
I tried a lot of different meal planning and recipe cataloging apps; this is the best hands down. The groceries/pantry is a cool concept, but hard to manage because the grocery lists exactly how much you need for each recipe, but you buy more for most of products so you have to manually update items in the "Pantry." When you add something to the pantry by scanning, it also appears to only add a serving instead of the full product amount. That said, cool how it balances the pantry/grocery list.
