## What is The Lean Cook Healthy Recipes?

Quick to make & simple to follow every day recipes made with regular ingredients & suitable for all the family

Is my mission statement as I create healthy recipes for myself & my family while I lost weight.

How many times have you wanted to eat healthier to achieve a goal (weight loss or build lean muscle) but failed because?

o You don’t have time to prep complex recipes or lots of fridge room.
o You can’t afford expensive ingredients you’ll never use again.
o You couldn’t give up your favourite foods, curry, stir fries, burger & fries.
o You found the food boring so you cheated & fell off the wagon so hard that you lost sight of the wagon!

With The Lean Cook app, cooking healthy meals tailored to you has never been easier!

Adjusting recipes to your desired macro split or calorie goal couldn’t be simpler (premium subscription required). Choose from a varied recipe selection which includes high protein low carb as well as post workout suitable recipes.

I didn’t want to eat plain meals & can't spend hours in the kitchen prepping as a busy mum to twins, so my recipes are quick to make. I stopped the takeaways & starting making fakeaways of my favourite foods, full of flavour but much lower in calories!

Believe me, I’ve been there failing at countless diets. I was only successful when I was able to cook foods that I enjoy, but in a way that was healthy.

The spark to create these recipes came when I followed the 90 Day Plan by The Body Coach. These recipes use a small list of everyday ingredients (CYO/Create Your Own list) to make lean versions of foods l love to eat while following the plan, getting lean & losing fat.

Even though the recipes were created to fit the plan I was following, the app has FULL calorie & macro breakdowns for EVERY recipe ideal for anyone wanting to achieve their own personal goals without having to waste time pumping ingredients into a 3rd party tracker app before deciding if they can eat it.

2 years on from finishing the training plan & I am now an MNU Certified Evidence Based Consultant Nutritionist.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-04-16, version 2.3.2*

Downloaded this because of the reviews. Very first recipe I clicked on brought up adverts that last ages. When they finish I clicked to close and it brought me back to the main menu. Tried several times and the same thing happened so deleted it as useless

### 4/5 — Love the recipes

*2025-10-08, version 2.3.2*

Love the recipes and the fact you can customise portions. Displays macros. Loses a star as crashes when searching by an ingredient eg salmon. It’s throwing me out.

### 1/5 — Not happy - access to recipes stopped halfway through my subscription period.

*2025-03-10, version 2.3.2*

I’ve paid for the app for a year and have now had access to recipes that I could access before stopped unless I upgrade to a premium account. I won’t be purchasing a new subscription.

### 1/5 — Hmmmm 🤔🤔

*2020-06-03*

So, I'm on the Bodycoach 90 Day Plan and wanted some inspiration on CYO meals as I'm useless at making up my own meals. Thought I'd download this app as heard good things about it. It says you can use the recipes for free. Not the case, have to upgrade to premium and pay for it to use all the recipes. Very disappointed!!! Wasted time downlaoding it.

### 5/5 — Genius

*2020-02-23, version 2.3.2*

Simple recipes with full calories and macros AND the ability to adjust the portion size to my calorie goal at the touch of a button.  Genius!

### 4/5 — Mislead

*2018-08-27, version 2.2.0*

Follow this person on instagram. Clever wording on her insta stories with new recipes I quote “new pizza recipe “ “free download” so to me that makes me think “oh a free pizza recipe”..alas no just a free download of a slimmed (pardon the pun) down app.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2018-03-16, version 1.9.0*

Easy to use, functional and above all delicious evils to inspire any level of cooking skills to prepare and enjoy a tasty meal . Well worth the purchase, you won’t be disappointed.

### 5/5 — Fixed the app uninstalled and reinstalled

*2018-02-28, version 1.9.0*

Old: Can get the app to work after the last update :( otherwise a really good app.

Update: Now works fine and have the new recipes. 
Thank you for your response though, it’s much appreciated!

### 5/5 — Excellent app with healthy recipes

*2018-02-21, version 1.9.0*

This is such a good app as I am on the 90 day program and easy to follow and great I can put in my personal amounts and save them. Would recommend this app to anyone doing the bodycoach plan! Thank you Nella 😁

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2018-02-02, version 1.8.1*

Perfect app for cooking lean meals. For anyone following The Body coach 90 day plan it’s a perfect fit. Plan friendly recipient that you can fit into your plan. But also a great recipe app for anyone that’s also graduated from the plan and wants to keep eating lean. Everything bar the cooking is done for you. Just follow the instructions and you’ll have some great lean meals.
