Intent - Meal Planner

I really want to love this app - I like everything I’m seeing from it and might even be willing yo subscribe - but it keeps spontaneously quitting when I’m trying to enter recipes manually. Not sure what the issue is, but that alone is enough to send me looking elsewhere 😔

I absolutely loved the app! I love how simple and easy the interface is, it did a great job at helping me lose weight! I highly recommend if you’re just starting out meal planning and don’t know where to start like I was! The few things I wish it had was if I changed an ingredient to help avoid waste, the grams to eat would disappear. So keeping the grams accurate based on ingredients amount add/subtracted would be nice so I didn’t have to add/subtract it manually to figure out the new grams to eat. It would also be nice having a pantry added so the app can better track what I have and be able to add extra ingredients I may have so it can chose more meals based on what I have on hand. On that note I Would love to be able to eventually input specific branded items so it track the macros and calories more efficiently, plus tracking more macros would be nice. Lastly, it’s only on APPLE so having a partner who has an android it was tough being unable to have him go grocery shopping for us since he wasn’t able to have to app to share the grocery list. (I ended up having to switch apps solely because of this reason) Just a few things I would personally love to see added onto the app.

I was testing different meal plan apps. I was very surprised to find the exact same on boarding questions, options, photos etc. They are listed as two different developers. Very deceitful.

Pros: I like that you can upload new recipes. Has a wide variety of recipes, ingredient wise, and dietary restriction wise I love that it populates a grocery list I love that it tells you the macros and calories of the meal Cons: the recipes you add yourself are never chosen when a new meal plan is populated you can only add recipes for breakfast lunch and dinners. I wish I could also add recipes for snacks and sides. Compared to Fitbit I’m not sure if the macro and calories for the meal is as accurate but then again it depends on which exact brand used to cook the meal

The app is decent! I’m not a huge fan of the side pairings and how we can’t add our own sides. The recipes are also very limited and don’t always come out well. Today however, I can’t log in to see my meal plan or recipes and I am stuck 😅 Contact support jsut sends me to the app. Update: it’s back up, but I’m very tired of a lot of the mistakes it makes. I have to go over every little detail and fix so many things, if I miss something it can absolutely ruin the recipe. Also I believe a lot of the recipes are AI-generated. It called for 2 cups (yes, 2 whole cups) of lemon pepper seasoning for 4 servings of chicken, for example.

Anyone else get kicked out of their app and have absolutely no way back in? I’ve tried everything I could to get in. All links I’ve sent to my husband won’t load. I can’t even recreate an account. Besides this I do love the app.

I was really enjoying using this app but it has completely stopped working today. I paid for a year, so I am hoping the server is just down. I like how I can add needed ingredients to my shopping list directly to the grocery and that I have lots of options for meals.

For those like me—beginners who have an idea of what they need (or don’t!) but don’t know where to start, this is excellent. You can add so many minute customizations. I especially like the meal prep function. My only recommendation would be to maybe have instructions tailored to certain appliances, such as those with instant pots. But even then, this is pretty much perfect!

I used to be able to copy and paste a code to MyFitnessPal to track my meals. That seems to no longer be an option all of a sudden? How else am I supposed to be able to track the meals I make??

If you are looking for a meal planning app that is going to simplify your life, or to lose weight, or both, look no further than Intent. I have used this for a couple years, and I don’t think I’ve tried one bad recipe. It is all delicious. You can customize EVERYTHING. You can set daily macro goals, calorie goals, diet styles, budget, change side dishes…they truly thought of everything with this app. I have lost a considerable amount of weight by using this app, and it has been the single most helpful tool for me in doing so. Download it, play around with it. Just give it a shot. You’re going to love it. It does take a little getting practice to figure out how to work all the options. Stick with it. It’s so worth it. What a fabulous app.
