Eat This Much is an automatic meal planner that removes the daily “what should I eat?” decision. You set a calorie target, macro split, budget, and any dietary rules, and it assembles complete meals — breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks — that add up to your goals. Swap any meal you dislike and it rebalances the rest of the day to keep the numbers on target.
Unlike a recipe site such as AllRecipes or a tracker like MyFitnessPass that logs what you already ate, Eat This Much works forward: it plans meals to hit a target before you cook. That macro-first approach makes it popular with people following structured diets who care about precise protein, carb, and fat numbers rather than just browsing recipes.
Key Features
- Automatic daily and weekly meal plan generation
- Calorie and macro targets with per-meal balancing
- Diet presets (keto, paleo, vegan, vegetarian, high-protein)
- Auto-generated grocery lists with quantities
- Meal swapping that recalculates the rest of the day
- Custom recipes and pantry/food preferences
Pricing
- Free: Single-day planning with limited customization
- Premium (around $9/month, cheaper billed annually): Weekly plans, full macro and diet controls, grocery lists, and calendar scheduling
Best For
People following a structured diet — cutting, bulking, keto, or high-protein — who want meals mapped to exact macros without planning by hand. It also helps busy households automate weekly shopping.
Limitations
The free tier is quite restricted, planning only a day at a time. The recipe library is smaller and less visually rich than dedicated recipe apps, and auto-generated menus can get repetitive unless you set preferences and swap meals. Anyone who mainly wants recipe inspiration rather than macro-driven planning may prefer a standard recipe app.
