## What is Eat This Much?

Put your diet on autopilot with Eat This Much. Tell us your diet goals, the foods you like, your budget, and what your schedule looks like, and we'll automatically generate a complete meal plan to meet your targets. It's like having a personal diet assistant.

We offer both free accounts and premium accounts. As a free user, you can create a day's meal plan and completely customize it however you want. Each meal can have different preferences, and your nutrition targets can be whatever you like.

As a premium user, we'll automatically generate a week of meal plans and send them to you with a grocery list via email. As you follow the plans, you can track what you did or didn't eat, and if you deviate from the plans, we make it easy to readjust your targets for the next week to stay on track. Try out the free account to see if our meal plans appeal to you, and upgrade when you're ready.

- Follow any eating style or create your own (works for keto, paleo, vegetarian, vegan, and more)
- Hit your macros and calorie targets every day
- Empower yourself with automatic control over your diet
- Take the anxiety out of picking what to eat
- Personalize any of our recipes and they'll replace the original
- Reduce food waste
- Don't like our suggestions? Easily swap them out or configure the generator to only use foods you like
- Manage your virtual pantry (with a premium account)

Normal calorie trackers force you to add foods into your diary one by one. And by the end of the day, there's no guarantee that you'll be anywhere near the nutrition targets you're trying to reach. With our automatic planner, there's nothing to track because everything is already entered for you, and all you have to do is follow the plan.

### 3/5 — Très bonne application mais des points a ameliorer

*2026-07-01*

J’utilise cette appli depuis maintenant plusieurs semaines. Parmi les points positifs, je noterais en premier lieu le fait de pouvoir me faire plaisir pendant ma diète. Je suis sportif en sèche. Avant je passais par un compteur de calories. Je mangeais pratiquement les mêmes repas constamment. Le fait de pouvoir renseigner ses objectifs, ses macros et de pouvoir générer des menus variés s’y rapprochant est top. Si quelques recettes ne m’ont pas nécessairement plues, il m’a suffit de les bloquer pour qu’elles ne me soient plus proposées. 
Je note cependant quelques points qui me déplaisent. Je regrette qu’il n’y ait pas la possibilité pour les liquides d’indiquer des quantités en volume, ce qui est beaucoup plus pratique pour nous autres français lorsque nous faisons nos courses. Je regrette également qu’il n’y ait pas la possibilité de définir une saisonalité pour pouvoir manger local et de saison, et si possible éviter de se retrouver avec des recettes comprenant des ingrédients auxquels on a pas accès. Mais pour moi l’un des plus gros défaut de cette application réside dans le gaspillage alimentaire. Je m’en suis tenu a mes programmes et j’ai vraiment l’impression d’avoir BEAUCOUP gaspillé ! Le meilleur exemple est sans doute les jaunes d’oeufs ! Si le générateur me propose plusieurs recettes comprenant des blancs, il ne m’a pas proposé de recettes pour utiliser les jaunes que j’ai renseigné dans mon garde manger. Et pour ma part, j’aimerais que l’achat de mon abonnement me permette aussi d’économiser sur le gaspillage. À bon entendeur

### 2/5 — Bizarre recipes

*2026-06-28, version 2.0.161*

The concept for this app is perfect. I just wish the execution was the same. With recipes such as Romain lettuce and lemon wrap for dinner turkey,hummus, and pickle sandwich for lunch and bell peppers with peanut butter for a snack. I couldn’t find this app very helpful. It was as if they weren’t thinking about the combinations of food as much as maybe just perfecting the nutritional and caloric content. If they can find more palatable recipes I’d give this five stars!

### 3/5 — Pantry Doesn’t Have Impact on Meal Plan

*2026-06-08, version 2.0.160*

I used this app years ago, and loved it. It seemed like the app worked perfectly when it came to generating meals based on pantry items to minimize grocery costs. However, I’ve bought a subscription to start using again recently and it seems like something isnt working right in the app anymore. Putting items in your pantry and generating a meal plan based on it, even with groceries as the generator focus seems to have no effect on the meal plan results.

### 3/5 — Cheapest generator for meal planning is still really expensive on groceries

*2026-05-26, version 2.0.158*

Wish the cheapest grocery list and meal plan generator wasn’t also very expensive. A set budget option would be nice.

### 5/5 — Use the app, lose weight

*2026-05-16, version 2.0.158*

The title is basically a summary of this review. I have had countless months of jumping from this app to that, but EatThisMuch has helped me lose 30lbs and counting. Don’t rely completely on it, it performs best for you when it’s part of your system, albeit a very important part. You still need to understand your journey, workout and be disciplined. But what this app does miraculously is remove decision fatigue. It empowers you to have the diet plan that works FOR YOU and doesn’t try to change your preferences. Thank you to the creators of this app, it has helped me a lot.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal!

*2026-05-13*

I am on an incredibly restricted diet for medical reasons (low-histamine keto), and I have been feeling depressed about food. I didn’t want to think of my weekly meal plan or find recipes because I can’t eat most things. So I found this app to automate it, after blocking most ingredients and selecting incredibly restrictive macros & calories. I expected to eat cardboard. Instead, I have been blown away by the legitimately delicious, restaurant grade recipes! And, thanks to the settings, the meals are fast enough for me to make with impatient toddlers, and I can easily scale up for the whole family (adding carbs for the others ofc)! I cannot believe how amazing this app is. The settings / customisations are incredible. It also makes my life easier by spitting out a grocery list each week! Oh my goodness I am never going back. Take my money!

### 1/5 — Meal planning by a lunatic

*2026-05-08, version 2.0.158*

I’m really losing patience with this app and about ready to request a refund. It’s just one series of useless recommendations after another. The same disgusting recipes pushed over and over no matter how many times I block them. Two smoothies for breakfast then three smoothies for lunch. 6 1/2 servings of Greek yogurt in one sitting. What is this supposed to be?

### 4/5 — Additional Feature PLEASE!!!!

*2026-05-04, version 2.0.158*

Could you please add a feature where we can create recipes by multi selecting foods already logged into our planner? I hate having logged something then when I make a recipe need to look up and enter the weight of each item AGAIN. I find it easier to log individual foods to see if they help me hit my goals but I can’t see that while I compile them all into a recipe first. I would appreciate being able to do it after as well. TLDR: pls make “ create a recipe “ able to use items I’ve already logged into meal planner. Thank you in advance

### 5/5 — Perfection ❤️

*2026-04-09, version 2.0.157*

This app was exactly what I was looking for… automated recipe planning with automatic grocery list building based off your week, pantry management, and syncs with Apple health for tracking. My only complaint is the pantry management system could be more automated, but honestly I’m just happy it checks all my boxes. Well worth the subscription if you love tracking your macros 😊

### 1/5 — Budget?

*2026-04-06, version 2.0.156*

On advertising this app, you talk about being able to provide the app with your budget, however I don’t see any function on this app for that. Is that a switching bait tactic? I also see once I generated my meal plan for the week it generated the wrong number of yogurt. It’s telling me 11 cups and there’s not a single place for my weekly meal plan. Nowhere in there is anything anywhere near 11 cups of yogurt that is insane. This app is buggy. I think I had this once a few years ago. The name must’ve changed, but I have the same problems. Every time I go grocery shopping I would buy things and it would be a waste of money because it generates the wrong things.
