Eat This Much - Meal Planner

Portion control turned out to be the key to my issues! I’m down 10 pounds and the food tastes great. I wish I could eat more of it, but this app makes sure you know your boundaries, which is what a lot of us need.

This app is fantastic. Easiest way to follow your macros and set a meal plan.

What an absolute rip off! Paid $59.99 for Premium back in July. Now the app tells me I need to “Upgrade to premium for more features!” Paraphrasing: “You know! The ones you already paid for!” Seriously?! You sure you wouldn’t rather repossess my car?! Perhaps you’d like the deed to my house?! Why don’t YOU eat THIS much! If it was any good it might almost be worth the hassle. There are good recipes in there, to be sure, but they’re buried under a mountain of mediocre or even bad ones. The planner relies heavily on protein powder. The whole reason to have a meal planner in the first place is to eat mostly whole foods and not rely so heavily on protein powder!!! There are usually three items in any given daily plan that rely on that ingredient. Look, it’s cool having recipes for that kinda thing, but if your daily meal plan has more than one item with protein powder in it, you’re doing it wrong! I thought I’d be able to add some of my own recipes, making it easier to set those meals and generate a grocery list, but holy cow was it a monumental hassle trying to create them. I’d say the only worthwhile thing about the app is being able to peruse the recipes for ideas and inspiration. As far as I know that part is free, but I’d gladly pay a modest annual fee of $5-$10 for the privilege. I definitely will NOT be “upgrading” to “premium”, however, especially in light of the fact that they’ve basically already stolen $60 from me.

This app isn’t telling me how much sugar I’ve been eating and it’s letting me eat over 130 grams of sugar a day! And there’s no way that I can restrict sugar intake in the app either. Also, it keeps giving me repeating meals over and over again. I would like my money back if possible because I payed 60 dollars and I do not want to keep it for a whole year. Overall this app is nice, but I am really concerned about the sugar intake because that is not healthy at all but i’m just eating what is put on the planner for each week.

I noticed there’s only a completely lazy option with a desk job or hard core workout with a physically demanding job..I don’t go out of my way to exercise but do physical factory labor job so I’m not sure what one applies to myself. But the app looks good otherwise.

My son has a lot of food allergies and eating for our family is not a fun experience. Meals are always the same boring stuff and we have to do a lot of meal prepping. Friend recommended this because you can put the food exclusions in and it supposedly generates meals around them. But it doesn’t. For example, my son is allergic to blueberries. Listed it as an exclusion. Saved it. Meal plans listed a blueberry smoothie multiple times throughout the week. Attempted to “regenerate” meal plan, but then other eclipses with his other food allergies would appear. So basically, it’s a no for us. Might work for someone who doesn’t have so many allergies.

this app is seriously life changing! with some exercise at least 3 times a week, this app could change your life style. quick tip, eat every 4-5 hours and try to do exercise daily or 3 times a week like i said before. please try this app out if your struggling with fat loss or weight loss and/or if you're about to give up.

I really like this app so far. Most people probably came to it out of weight loss desires but my husband and I are both underweight but interested in eating better and possibly getting into a healthier weight range. I thought the calories and macros were interesting. I stayed for the truly easy recipes! Oftentimes recipe apps are filled with weird things that are too hard and I wouldnt like. This app seriously has easy, basic, but yummy suggestions! Many are 5 ingredients or less. Also lots of smoothies too if you’re into that. My only complaint is the portion sizes are often odd and so you have to be careful not to waste food. One recipe asked for 3/16th of a tortilla?? It’s hard when a food comes in one size (a lb of beef, for example) and the app has you use 1/4 lb and not any more for the rest of the week. Just something to keep an eye on. Healthy shopping is already expensive without wasting any. I think it’s up to the consumer to adjust and change recipes to use up the rest of the portions.

I’m not sure why but I’ve been logged out of our account and I can’t seem to log into our Eat This Much using my husband’s Apple ID. On PC/Web it works, though. Any way you could fix this? Can we somehow do family plans if this isn’t a possibility? I need this on my phone and iPad for when I’m in the kitchen…

I love the app, but there's one major issue. Some foods can only be bought in bulk at the grocery store. When I end up with more of an ingredient than I need, I'd like the app to prioritize using that ingredient in upcoming meals. Currently, the app doesn’t adjust recipes to use up ingredients that are in excess, so I have to manually search for meals that will help reduce those items in my pantry. Ideally, the app should automatically generate meals that utilize these ingredients if I indicate that I have a surplus. Alternatively, there could be a button to highlight the ingredient or to select an option for more recipes that use it up.
