How it works
Answer a few questions once. Meal Buddy handles the planning, the shopping list and the cooking steps every week after that.
Lose, maintain or gain. Meal Buddy works out your daily calories and protein, and the date you’ll reach your goal.
Calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiberBreakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for seven days, matched to your calorie target. Swap any meal you don’t love, or drop in one of your own.
21 meals, every one swappableYour grocery list comes straight from the plan, sorted by aisle, with amounts that make sense in a real kitchen.
Tick what you already haveCooking mode shows one step at a time with the ingredients you need. Log the meal with one tap when you’re done.
Macros update as you go
Built for real weeks
Plans change. Meal Buddy keeps up with what’s in your fridge, what you’re craving, the recipes you already love and what you’ve already eaten.

Add what you have, or scan a barcode, and meals start from ingredients you already own.

Type a craving like “high-protein tacos under 600 calories” and get a full recipe with macros.

Not feeling it? Pick from meals close to the same calories, or plan one of your own instead.

Log a planned meal in one tap and see protein, carbs, fat and fiber against your targets.

Every recipe lists each ingredient’s amount and calories, calculated from USDA nutrition data.

Weekly favorites, seasonal picks and cuisine collections, all filtered to the way you eat.
Build any meal from its ingredients, save it with a photo, and plan it like any other. It’s your planner, not just our menu.
Omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian or vegan. Pick one and every meal and recipe follows it.
Allergies and foods you dislike are left out of every plan, recipe and grocery list.
Smaller, gentle, protein-forward meals and snacks for people taking a GLP-1 medication.
Why Meal Buddy Pro
Most calorie counters and macro trackers make you do the thinking and then log it. Meal Buddy Pro is a meal planner first: it does the thinking up front, so the healthy choice is the one already on your calendar.
Every meal for the week is already decided, whether it’s one of ours, one of yours or one the AI wrote for you, and the ingredients are already in your fridge.
7 days · 21 meals planned in one go
Calories and protein are set from your goal, and every meal is picked to land on them. Logging is one tap.
2,703 cal · 225 g protein, matched daily
The list is built from the plan, grouped by aisle, and skips what’s already in My Fridge. Buy what you’ll cook.
55 items · sorted by aisle
Log your weight and Meal Buddy shows your goal date and whether this week kept you on track.
200 lb by Mar 28 · about 1 lb a week

Who it’s for
Meal Buddy Pro is a meal planning app first and a calorie counter second. Tell it what you’re working toward and the week is built to match.
Set a goal weight and a pace. Meal Buddy Pro sets a daily calorie budget, plans seven days of meals that land on it, and shows the date you’ll get there. Log your weight and you’ll see whether each week kept you on track.
Choose gain or maintain and pick the Higher Protein macro style. Every day is planned to hit a protein target as well as calories, and the AI will write you “a high-protein meal under 500 calories” whenever you want something new.
Taking a GLP-1 medication? GLP-1 mode plans smaller, gentle, protein-forward meals and snacks, so a smaller appetite still gets enough protein across the day.
Pick your diet once. Every weekly plan, recipe, swap and grocery list follows it, and your allergies and the foods you dislike are left out everywhere, including the AI’s recipes.
Every recipe is calculated ingredient by ingredient from USDA data. Log a planned meal in one tap, scan a barcode for anything else, and watch protein, carbs, fat and fiber against your targets.
The list comes straight from the plan, sorted by aisle, with amounts that make sense in a kitchen. Keep My Fridge up to date and the plan leans on what you already have instead of buying more.
