Leave a Review MealPrepPro Planner & Recipes
Long time app user/YouTube subscriber
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...Show lessCuriousGeorge14
Brilliantly thorough and thought out
This app has everything that I could think of needing, really. When I first started using it I thought it was just telling me what I could eat for a week...I delved in a little further and it turned out that the app plans absolutely everything for you.
Each of the views, day, week, and meal prep, are awesome. The automatic shopping list and the ability to remove items from it are superb.
I was a little surprised about the number of calories it recommended me for weight loss - 2,200 where other apps would suggest maybe 1,500 for my height and weight. I adjusted the calories down myself, of course.
Bit of feedback: it would be good if you could add your own meals to your personal library. There are a couple of meals that I really like (spaghetti bolognaise, for example) that I prep myself and it’s a shame that they can’t be recorded in the app.
Anyway, thanks developer. This is a fantastic app and I’ve been spreading the good word.Show lessdirtychinchilla
Developer Response
Thank you very much - a couple of features such as storing your own recipes require us to build out our own server infrastructure, so they take a good bit longer to implement but we're working towards them now that we're going strong in to our second year! I appreciate you writing in.Needs work
I’ve been using the app for almost 2 weeks and I like it for the most part but it does need work. I don’t know if it’s just my phone but when I swap out recipes it doesn’t update to my grocery list so that makes the grocery shopping difficult. Also some of the items are very hard to find like “arrowroot starch” for example. I’m from a small town so that was impossible to find. The prep times are also far from accurate. Me and my husbands goals are to GAIN so it DOES NOT take “5 min” to prep 1 meal for 4 days where you have to trim fat off of 8 lbs of chicken, chop 17 bell peppers, cut 2 lbs of green beans down the middle and when the recipe is so big it doesn’t fit in the oven so you have to make it in lots of big batches so it takes forever. Also one last thing, like is said maybe it’s my phone but there is no decimal point on the number pad. When I’m trying to portion out our meals I have to go to my notes, write out the number, copy and paste it to the number pad.Show lessMerissamike
Price?
It doesn’t say how much it costs??Secret musters
Recipes for 2 people
My partner and I enjoy using meal prep pro as it makes life very easy. The only issue we have with the app is when ingredient amounts are increased in recipes because you are cooking for two people, sometimes the amount don’t seem correct. For example the amount of spices in the cauliflower mash/soup recipe for 2 people was too much and unfortunately made the meal inedible. Now in the recipes for 2 people we are cautious with some of the ingredient amounts as stated in the recipes as it can either ruin the meal or be an overpowering flavour.
Other than this issue we enjoy the app very much and it has assisted greatly with weight loss!Show lessRhiannonMcWilliam
Great app and great results.
I started my healthy nutrition journey by giving up soda when I was a teen. By the time I was in college I gave up sweets during the week and started to realize that what one consumes directly affects their life. In 2007, I discovered Sear’s zone and CrossFit. That worked for a while, but counting blocks became difficult. Then paleo soon followed and that just became too restricted. Recently, after reading Mark Sisson’s Keto Reset Book I was left with a lot of hope, but realized it would be difficult to take the information and apply to something like forming a shopping list and menu for the week. I’m 36, 6’1” and was 212 pounds. This app has helped me and my wife lose approximately 15 pounds each in 4 weeks. Kevin and his team have been able to help us bridge theory with application and the results fantastic. I’ve also bought urine test strips and they have shown that we are in Ketosis.
I’m giving 4 stars only because there is still room for improvement. For example, menu can continue to expand, there are typos occasionally (I’m sure there are a few in this review!), there is still the occasional “use a pinch” direction and it would help to be clearer with amounts.
If you are concerned about cost, the yearly subscription is relative to what you would pay for a good book, expect this one helps you lose weight.
Thank you and keep up the good work.Show lessAleVerds
Way off!
So at 439lbs & 6 feet tall the app told me I need to eat 3,700 calories a day to loose weight! Not even close!dougmpage
Way awesome app
I love this app. Does all the planning for me. All I have to do is cook and eat! When I first got into meal planning, the planning part was my biggest hurdle. This app makes it so easy for me with a huge selection of dishes to choose from.
One suggestion I have: I use an app to order my groceries to be delivered to me. It would be nice to have a way to export my grocery list on this app so I can put it on my grocery app if possible! Currently I have to bounce back between the two. It’s not a problem or anything. Just could be more streamlined and efficient!
Nevertheless thank you for a wonderful app!Show lessFabes6911
Absolutely awesome
I am so happy with this app. They have literally made it so easy for me to plan my (vegan!!) meals every week. The shopping list that updates itself is INCREDIBLY helpful. I go though before I go to the store and mark off the ingredients I already have, then I’m on my way. Everything is separated into sections so it makes grocery shopping super easy. The prep part is also amazing, everything is perfectly portioned to fit into my meal prep containers. I am so happy with this app and will HAPPILY pay for it monthly because it makes my life so much easier. I am a newby figure competitor and this is perfect for me. Now I just need Kevin to sponsor me after I win my first comp ;) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!Show lessMorgan0906
Please create partner sharing!
I just started using this app with my fiancé to get our eating on track for our goals. I like that it selects recipes and that you can swap what you don’t like, and it keeps track of what you’ve consumed. But there’s a couple major kinks to this: 1- It doesn’t provide portion sizes for the two people in a functional way. Stating my partner eats 65% while I eat 35% requires a lot of extra work to determine how many ounces or servings I should be consuming. 2- We can’t both have our tracked plans on the same account and be synced across two devices with the same info. Even being logged into the same account on two devices doesn’t provide the exact same meals etc without significant manual swapping. We both want to be on track and eat the same things (but different portions) and know we are consuming what we need to to meet our goals. Partner sharing or partner syncing should definitely be in the set of fixes!Show lessbmarieb17
