Eating well shouldn't take planning meetings. SimplyPlate learns how your household actually eats — allergies, tastes, budget, calorie and protein goals — and turns it into a full week of meals with one tap. **A week of meals, planned in seconds** Tell SimplyPlate who's eating and what they love (or won't touch). It builds a balanced week from 1,100+ tested recipes, every one photographed, with cook times that fit your weeknights. **Hits your numbers** Set calorie, protein, carb, fat, or fiber goals and every day lands close — not "roughly." Made for people who take training and nutrition seriously. **Your grocery list writes itself** Every planned meal becomes one consolidated list, grouped by aisle, sized to your household. Send it straight to a Walmart cart in one press, or share it anywhere. **Real budgets, honest numbers** Set a weekly grocery target and the planner respects it — with an at-the-register estimate so there are no checkout surprises. **Bring your own recipes** Paste a link, a TikTok, or a photo of a recipe card and it's in your plan with nutrition and allergens filled in. Cook Mode keeps the screen awake and sets timers from the steps. **Cook once, eat twice** Leftover-friendly dinners become tomorrow's lunch automatically — no extra groceries, no extra cooking. **Allergy-safe by design** Peanut, dairy, gluten, shellfish and more are hard rules, never suggestions. "May contain" is treated as "does." Subscribe to unlock unlimited weekly plans, grocery lists, imports, and Cook Mode. Weekly, monthly, and annual plans; billed through your app store; cancel anytime.
