MealPrepPro Planner & Recipes 4+

Amazing Meal Prep App

This app is truly a blessing for busy people, and people who are health conscious alike. It’s so intuitive and it’s a major help to be able to track my macros and still enjoy an endless array of foods. All sorts of cuisine available to choose from, along with quick recipes, more extensive meals, and freezeables as well. Love this app!

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for you very kind review! We're really excited to keep improving MealPrepPro with new recipes and features.

Fantastic!

I’ve tried quite a few of the meal planning apps out there and never found one I liked or that worked until now. I count macros but my family doesn’t. We all like eating a variety of foods and trying new recipes. In the past I would be stuck eating boring repetitive meals to meet macros while often having to cook something else for my busy family. Not any more. This app enables me to cook the same thing for everyone. I use the portion tool to find out my exact portion size for macro counting and then I just bulk out my family’s own portions with extras like rice, salads, potatoes and condiments and dessert. Voila! Everyone is happy, I’m sticking to my macros, and I’m not spending hours planning meals or eating boring food. Plus the recipes are great. Genius!

Good premise, recipes really need tweaking

There are things that I like about this app, and some major issues.

1 - Great for planning what you want for the week.

2 - If you plan the same meal for several days, it gives you the preparation and ingredient list for doing it all at once so that you are preparing & cooking for multiple days all at once, EVEN IF the recipe is not going to be good the second day (example - smoothies, avocado meals, salads, etc). This is not good as you waste food and time.

3 - It is very difficult to get the app to give you only one days portions for the recipe.

4 - The recipes have not been taste tested. One recipe that I followed precisely called for so much mustard that the dish was inedible, and it had called for a number of very expensive ingredients. Other recipes are severely missing in spices (things like garlic for example) to the point of being tasteless. It’s one extreme to the other.

5 - To figure out what quantity to eat each meal, you have to weigh the total, divide it by how many meals you are supposed to get, and then multiply that by how much of a percentage each person gets to find the weight to feed each person at each meal. This is onerous and difficult and easy to mix up. The recipes should be able to say how much each person eats.

6 - Most of the recipes call for a lot of exotic ingredients that are very expensive. This is not set up for the average household, but the very wealthy.

7 - Cooking times for all recipes are wrong. Raw salmon (cooked 20 mins longer than the recipe stated and it was still raw) with vegetables is not appetizing nor safe to eat.

I accidentally subscribed for a month after the trial period but will not be doing so again. There are too many pitfalls with this plan. I do not recommend it.
