Eat This Much Alternative: Meal Planner Pro Compared
Eat This Much is the closest thing to Meal Planner Pro on this list — both automatically generate a meal plan around calorie and macro targets rather than making you browse recipes. Here's where they actually differ.
How Eat This Much Works
Eat This Much generates a personalized meal plan in seconds based on your diet preference, calorie target, and meal frequency. Its free tier shows baseline macro targets; setting fully custom macros requires an account. It also has a "virtual pantry" that prioritizes ingredients you already own, and integrates with Instacart and AmazonFresh for shopping.
- Automatic meal plan generation from calorie/macro targets
- Virtual pantry to reduce food waste
- Instacart & AmazonFresh grocery integration
- iOS (4.7/5, 22,000+ reviews) and Android (4.6/5, 10,100+ reviews) apps, plus web
- Named "Best Meal Planning App of 2025" by CNN Underscored
How Meal Planner Pro Works
Meal Planner Pro also generates a full plan automatically, but personalization starts from a broader health quiz — goal, health conditions, allergies, cuisine preference, cooking skill, and budget — not just calorie/macro math, and includes plans built specifically for medical conditions like diabetes or PCOS.
- AI-generated plan from a full health & lifestyle quiz
- 30+ diet profiles, including medical/health-condition-specific plans
- 9 cuisine preference options
- Transparent pricing shown upfront: $8.99/week, $18.99/month, or $38.99/3 months
