This is perfect for SSS'ers, but also for those who are just looking for inspiration for healthy meals. Love the shopping list and favourites features. Highly recommended 😊😊l ### 5/5 — The Lean Cook *2017-08-09, version 1.6* Fantastic app, easy to use with some super recipes. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for easy to follow, tasty, healthy recipes that use everyday ingredients. ### 5/5 — Love, love, love it! *2017-08-09, version 1.5* This is a brilliant app, giving the macros for each recipient is so helpful, being able to edit the ingredient amounts once you have subscribed so it then fits your macros is genius. The range of lean meals it vast, breaking them down breakfast, lunch dinner is helpful but listing low carb meals and refuel meals is brilliant, as a body coach graduate I find this helpful, so anyone doing The body coach SSS or SAS plans will find this a lifeline to choice and variety when on pick and mix. Eating lean with Nella The Lean Cook means loads of variety, flavours and options for simple to prepare, delicious food. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2017-08-07, version 1.6* Probably one of the best cooking/recipe apps to date. Lovely healthy food with a brilliant addition of being able to adjust the servings, making it great to cook for one or for 6. Oh and the brilliant idea of adding items to a shopping basket and it totals all required items so no miscalculations. I'm looking forward to trying the different foods (cooking my first as I type). Well done Nella. Thank you for all your hard work. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-08-07, version 1.5* This is a brilliant little app...delicious recipes and all macros ready for you to input into My fitness pal. Also a handy shopping list option and you can tick off the menu as you go! ### 5/5 — Blooming brilliant *2017-08-04, version 1.5* Have been following Nella for a long time. Her recipes are amazing and she got me thru C2 last year. Clever and inventive use of ingredients. This app takes her to another level. It's absolutely perfect for those of us following the lean principles. I just made the lasagne for four people great to adjust the ingredients for number of people. Wish you all the best Nella!!! Mikki ### 5/5 — Perfect app for a busy life *2017-08-03, version 1.5* This is exactly what I needed! With work, family and swim coaching/teaching commitments I have barely any time to think about what to cook or which ingredients I need. As I always have my phone on me I now have the recipes and shopping lists to hand for really lean and tasty meals for the whole family. Thanks Nella, I'm sure this will be a huge success x ### 5/5 — Brilliant new app from Nella Foulds *2017-08-02, version 1.5* Really excited to be trying The lean cook app. Loved Nella's recipes on mydietburble and very happy to see a gluten free section. Just signed up to the monthly subscription , so quick and easy to join. Looking forward to tasting some more delicious meals. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — The Best Lean Food App Ever 💟 *2017-08-02, version 1.5* I've been following The Lean cook (Nella Foulds ) since Jan 2017 such an inspirational cook 👨‍🍳 the recipes are amazing! The amount of different types of recipes is just mind blowing, the fact you can add to a shopping list & count Macros is just so handy 😋you can also cook for 1 or press the + button to add more & all the amounts are just sorted😋this app couldn't be easier 😋try it & see for yourself you will be amazed at how simple life will be😋I've just subscribed for a year & i think it's money well spent😋thanks to Nella for a great app.😋xx💟 ### 5/5 — Fantastic, easy to use and tailor for you! *2017-08-02, version 1.5* I have followed Nella on Instagram for a while and was so excited when I found out about the app. It's exceeded all my expectations!!! Easy to use and the features are better than any other foodie apps I have (the ability to 'cross off' steps when cooking is ingenious!!). I've only looked at the free recipes at the moment, but can't wait to unlock further recipes with the different options available. Well done and thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Genius! *2017-08-02, version 1.5* Nella's website has been an absolute godsend, taking ordinary ingredients and turning them into low carb delicious meals. This app is what we've been waiting for. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 — 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! ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It's brilliant!! *2017-09-06, version 1.6* Fantastic app!! Half way through the SSS bodycoach programme and I would be lost without it!! ### 5/5 — Fit for forty *2017-09-03, version 1.5* I love this app. It's so helpful when trying to do BC with a young family. Thank you ### 5/5 — Brilliant app! 👍🏼 *2017-08-25, version 1.6* Really like this app, the detail it gives etc makes it easy reading. Keep up the good work and thanks for finding the time to produce this fab app! ### 5/5 — I'd be lost without this app!! *2017-08-20, version 1.6* This app is so easy to use and has some brilliant features, such as being able to amend ingredients amounts to suit your requirements, and another is having the macro amounts at the bottom saving a lot of time. The recipes are so varied and delicious and really helped me through The Body Coach SSS plan! Thank you 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Life saver *2017-08-19, version 1.6* Can't imagine life without this amazing app. Makes food planning so easy and such a mix of recipes that it makes choosing what to eat a joy. If you are following Joe Wicks 90 SSS body coach plan and SAS you need this in your life - thank you 😄 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
