How it works

Tell it your goal. It plans the rest.

Answer a few questions once. Meal Buddy handles the planning, the shopping list and the cooking steps every week after that.

  1. Set your goal

    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 fiber
  2. Get your week

    Breakfast, 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 swappable
  3. Shop one list

    Your grocery list comes straight from the plan, sorted by aisle, with amounts that make sense in a real kitchen.

    Tick what you already have
  4. Cook and log

    Cooking 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

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.

Cook from your fridge

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

Why Meal Buddy Pro

Less deciding. More eating well.

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.

  • No more 5 p.m. “what’s for dinner?”

    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

  • Hit your numbers without the math

    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

  • One shop, less waste

    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

  • See the date you’ll get there

    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

Questions

Anything else? Visit support or email us.

Is Meal Buddy Pro free?

It’s free for 7 days, with every feature unlocked. After that it’s $39.99 a year ($3.33 a month) or $7.99 a month. If you cancel during the trial you pay nothing.

What happens when the trial ends?

Your subscription starts on the plan you picked and you keep everything you’ve planned, saved and logged. You can cancel at any time from your App Store subscriptions.

How does it set my calorie and protein targets?

From your goal (lose, maintain or gain), the pace you choose, and your weight, height, age, sex and activity level. You get a daily calorie budget plus protein, carbs, fat and fiber targets, and an estimated date for reaching your goal. Change your goal, pace or body details any time in Settings and the targets update.

Does Meal Buddy Pro make a grocery list?

Yes. Every week’s grocery list is built from your plan automatically, sorted by aisle, with amounts that make sense in a kitchen. Tick off what you already have, or keep My Fridge up to date and those items are left off the list.

Can it plan meals from what’s in my fridge?

Yes. Add ingredients to My Fridge by typing them or scanning a barcode, turn on Use my fridge, and plans, swaps and AI meals lean on what you already have.

Can I plan my own meals, not just Meal Buddy’s?

Yes. Build a meal from its ingredients, add a photo and steps, and it gets calories and macros like everything else. Save it, put it in any slot, swap it in, or ask the AI to write a recipe from a craving. You can also log any food from the USDA database or a barcode.

Will it work with my diet?

Choose omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian or vegan, then add any allergies and foods you don’t like. Every plan, recipe and grocery list follows them.

What is GLP-1 mode?

If you take a GLP-1 medication, turn on GLP-1 mode and Meal Buddy plans smaller, gentle, protein-forward meals and snacks.

Where does the nutrition information come from?

Recipe calories and macros are calculated ingredient by ingredient from USDA FoodData Central data, and estimated for the occasional ingredient USDA doesn’t list. You can also log foods from the USDA database or by scanning a barcode.

Do you show ads or sell my data?

No ads, and no selling your data. The app has no advertising or tracking SDKs. Your subscription is the business model. See the Privacy Policy for the details.

Is Meal Buddy on Android?

Not right now. Meal Buddy Pro is available for iPhone and iPad. If you’d like to hear when that changes, email us and we’ll let you know.

How do I cancel?

Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose Meal Buddy Pro. You can also get there from Settings inside the app. Cancel at least 24 hours before your trial ends and you won’t be charged.

Who it’s for

Meal plans for every goal.

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.

  • Weight-loss meal plans

    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.

  • High-protein and muscle-gain meal plans

    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.

  • GLP-1 meal plans

    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.

  • Vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian meal plans

    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.

  • Macro and calorie tracking without the typing

    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.

  • Grocery lists with less food waste

    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.

Your first week is a few taps away.
