Does anyone use a meal planning app of any kind? Something that gives you recipes of healthy meals, helps make a grocery list? Anything like that? I am curious, I am looking for something that will help me plan out a week at a time and allow the foods to change up so we don't get bored or feel like we are missing out on our favorite unhealthy foods.

Any ideas??
Thanks

    I have all my recipes on the Paprika app. It will make shopping lists, scale recipes for different situations, and import 'clippings.' I love it!

    But I guess I misunderstood... Paprika won't give you recipes. Sorry there!

    I considered using one of those apps, but decided I didn't need it. I don't use a lot of recipes - whenever I need one that I don't have already, I google it. I have a rotation for old time favorites every 2/3/4 weeks so that I get in fish, pork, beef and lamb regularly; I make soup or stew on Mondays (with leftovers on Wednesday) and will try a new dish every Friday. I consider homemade more healthy than readymade, so I don't fret over finding healthy recipes. For the grocery list I just write down which ingredients I will need but don't have on hand. Keeping it simple feels ok.

    Try allrecipes app. They have a spinner where it'll give you recipes based on what you're looking for (app, entree, breakfast, dinner etc)

    I have tried the eathismuch app and website recently and found that it is pretty good. You can enter your macros if you are training as well as the food you don't want to eat and the number of meals per day, etc. It is very comprehensive but it did not work for me simply because I work a lot on the road and I cannot cook as much as that plan offered. I cannot either plan ahead as much as the app offered so just didn't work for me but it will be great when I have a regular schedule...
