Contact MealPrepPro Planner Recipes Support

No matter which plan you choose, there are very few recipes. Maybe a dozen for lunch/dinner (same recipes there) and a dozen for breakfast, a dozen for snacks. They say you can add your own recipes, but not really. You can add the name and the nutrients. Far cry from being able to import or truly add your own recipes, which should be a given for meal prep software. You can’t create a true shopping list without custom recipe ingredients. If you could import recipes like most every other recipe or meal planning software out there, then this would be great. It also doesn’t seem to add up increased add on person portions of ingredients. So, I had 6 of us on the same calorie amount and 1 person was 1/8 tsp vanilla extract. 6 people was 1/2 tsp. No, it should be 3/4 tsp for 6 people eating the same calories. Iran into this with every calculation it performed. I thought the update would fix this problem but it didn’t. So you can’t count on this software to give you a correct recipe, correct nutrition, correct shopping list or to let you add your own in for shopping etc. it’s truly bad. The premise is great, but it doesn’t live up to the hype or the hope.

This app needs serious updates. And fast. The amount of food waste on a 2 person plan and these forced 7 day meal prep recipes is absurd. I tried to swap to 3 or 4 and it only shows the macros for the main user.... The breakfast quinoa sausage casserole in particular would not fit in 3 full size casserole dishes, never mind mixing bowls. I chopped vegetables for an hour and somehow the 4lbs of egg whites just didn’t raise any alarms. I didn't even know it was a 7 day recipe until I started cooking and wondered why this disaster was unfolding in front of me. No fault to Chef the food has been amazing all the way through, but the avenue in which it’s being shared/instructed to PAYING subscribers needs to change and fast. I hadn’t noticed this issue before as I only recently activated the two user settings. I can’t begin to express how long/stressful/wasteful a 7 day two user recipe leaves a user/their kitchen. Only a picture could tell the whole story. Won’t be subscribing/watching if this doesn’t change ASAP. This is beyond an oversight reading other reviews so ignoring it does no good for your brand Chef, get on it...

I was looking for an app that would simplify tracking meal planning and tracking my macros. I’m currently using a dedicated cooking app along with LoseIt for tracking.

I first tried this app for the one week free trial period but I was not able to use it that much. However, the user interface was good and some of the recipes looked okay. So, I signed up for the monthly subscription. First recipe I tried was the Chicken Thigh Tagine with Cauliflower Rice. I followed the recipe down to details. The app stated the recipe would only be 525 calories per serving. But when I calculated everything that went in to the recipe it’s actually 918 calories per serving. This is almost double the amount!

If you’re using this app for calorie counting and making sure you hit your macros just right, think again. That’s too bad because the app had really good UI. I guess I’ll just stick with LoseIt for meal planning and using a real dedicated recipe app like NYTimes cooking to make sure I get things right. Felt like I wasted $5.99 for this.
