Calorie meal planner

A calorie meal planner that counts the whole day

Counting one meal is easy. Landing a whole day on a number is the hard part, and it is where most calorie apps leave you — logging after the fact instead of planning before it. Here the day arrives already totalled: every dish carries its calories, the day carries its own sum, and you can build to a ceiling per meal or per day and let the plan come back inside it.

How it works

  1. Set a ceiling per meal or for the whole day
  2. Get a complete day back inside it — not a single recipe
  3. Swap any dish and the day total updates with it

Questions, answered

Where do the calorie figures come from?

Every ingredient line is parsed against a nutrition database and the figures are per serving. The nutrition page sets out exactly what is measured and what is estimated.

Can I plan 1,500 or 2,000 calories a day?

Yes — set the day ceiling you want and the builder writes a full day, breakfast to dessert, that fits it.

Does it track what I eat?

It plans rather than logs. The kitchen diary records what you actually cooked, which is usually the more useful record.

Is this a meal planner by calories?

Yes. Set a daily figure and the day is assembled to it. A meal planner by calories that only counts after the fact leaves you short at dinner; this distributes the total across the meals in advance, so the last one is still a proper meal.

Do you have recipes with calories listed?

Every recipe on the site shows calories per serving, along with protein, carbs and fat. Recipes with calories missing are not published, because a plan you cannot count is not a plan.
