Meal Planning Tool?

777_spiritfitness_777

Hey everyone!

Does anyone know of a good meal planning tool that also stores recipes and has a grocery list feature? Does MyFitnessPal have this integration built in? I've been trying out the app Food Planner but find it to be a cluncky process. Thinking of trying Trello next.

Any ideas?

There's Isabel Delosrios' Beyond Diet which is amazing and filled with all sorts of tools for meal planning and specific diets. (From recollection it was a tad expensive, but it is a once only charge. Just had a lookand there's a substantial discount to join currently). My only problem with this was there are so many ingredients as the meals are all flavour-packed. I'm still building up my meagre pantry and virtually empty fridge and freezer, and in my case, I'm restocking vegan. Beyond Diet is really good, BUT there are all of the extra books and "healthy extra things" that the site and Isabel's daily mail tend to promote. If you can ignore those things, the rest of the website and tools for your phone are probably exactly what you are looking for. https://www.beyonddiet.com/

When I can afford it, I'll be throwing some money at the Forks Over Knives membership and smart phone meal planner which includes a shopping list. It looks the goods for whole foods, HOWEVER it is vegan! They give you a one month sampling for free. https://www.forksoverknives.com/

All the best on your journey..... Mike

Hi! If you have an apple product try the FitMenCook App. It's only $3 and it has a ton of recipes and their MACROS and Calories!! It also sets up a meal plan for you customized to your stats and goals. It has a female option too! Not just for guys!!

I use food.com it is free. I setup a recipe folder called "this weeks meals" and I put all of the recipes that I find from other sites into the recipe box, then I pull out the ones I want each week, to plan my meals. It has a grocery list feature

I feel outdated, lol. I use paper & pencil and the multitude of cookbooks in my cupboards. I have gotten fairly decent at subsituting for my own dietary restrictions that the rest of the household doesn't share.

You can add the link into MFP to save recipes and get macros.

I love the Fresh20--- it's a subscription service that sends you 5 dinner recipes per week with no more than 20 ingredients (+staples) and a shopping list. They have veg/paleo/gluten free options, but we do the classic and I just make substitutions as needed for restrictions. There are also nice meal plans on skinnytaste.com that are pretty good.
