What our research says

Eat This Much

The generator is the product: give it targets and dislikes and it fills a day or a week, then converts that into a shop. The free tier is unusually generous - daily plans and tracking cost nothing - but the features that actually save time, weekly planning and automatic grocery lists, sit behind premium. The $5 headline is the annual rate; monthly costs more and the page does not say how much.

Pros

  • Free tier generates daily plans, tracks intake and reads barcodes with no payment
  • Per-day macro targets support carb cycling and uneven training weeks
  • Virtual pantry and automatic leftovers cut waste instead of assuming fresh ingredients every meal
  • Grocery lists hand off to Instacart, Amazon Fresh and Walmart
  • Native iOS and Android apps with large review counts alongside the web app

Cons

  • Weekly planning, grocery lists and PDF export are premium-only, and $5 is the annual rate
  • The Professional tier has no published price - it is quoted per client
  • Plan quality depends on the recipe database, so narrow diets can produce repetitive weeks

Meal Planner Pro

Building macros and a shopping list off a stated BMI and diet type in one pass is convenient compared to juggling a separate calculator and recipe site, and the recipe library is large enough to avoid repeats for a while. There's no free plan to test the plan quality first, and no company name anywhere to check who's actually billing you.

Pros

  • combines BMI/diet-based macro calculation with plan generation in one step
  • large recipe library spanning 30-plus diet types
  • automated shopping list generated from the plan
  • weekly billing option for short-term use

Cons

  • no free tier to preview a real plan before paying
  • no company name, entity, or country disclosed anywhere on the site
  • weekly plan is the cheapest commitment but the most expensive rate per week
