Gainplate is a protein-first meal picker for people who lift.
Set your bodyweight once. Gainplate shows a daily protein target as a real range (0.7-1.0 g per pound), picks a 4-meal lineup that lands on it, and turns every ingredient into a one-tap grocery run at the retailer you already use.
No accounts. No trackers. No ads. Your body weight, your household, your favorites — all of it lives only on your phone.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- Today: a 4-meal lineup that hits your protein target for the day. See exactly how each meal contributes toward the goal, and swap any card you don't feel like cooking.
- Browse: a hand-curated corpus of 13,000+ protein-forward recipes with photos, filterable by protein type, cuisine, and cook time, plus fresh community recipes streamed in as you scroll. Every recipe's macros are computed on-device from a real ingredient database.
- Recipe Detail: full ingredient list scaled for your household (adults + kids), step-by-step instructions, and macro chips (protein, calories, carbs, fat) at the top so you can compare at a glance.
- Grocery routing: every ingredient row carries a Walmart / Target / Kroger / Hy-Vee tap-to-shop glyph. One tap opens your chosen retailer's app (or their website) with that ingredient pre-searched — no cart to manage, no login required. Household size scales the recipe amounts automatically.
- Add your own recipe: scan a recipe card with your camera, paste text you already have, or enter it by hand. Everything stays on your device — OCR and parsing run locally — and you review every field in a structured editor before saving. Your recipes favorite, scale, and shop just like the built-in ones.
- Profile: edit your body weight and protein multiplier, manage dietary exclusions and preferred cuisines, set adults/kids in your household, pick a preferred retailer, and see everything you've favorited or imported.
BUILT FOR LIFTERS
Every design choice starts with "does this help you hit your protein target today?"
- Dark-mode-first UI so it looks good on a rack between sets.
- Info button on the Today tab explains where the 0.7-1.0 g/lb range comes from (peer-reviewed sports nutrition, cited in-app).
- No login, no email required to use the app.
- Gainplate is a paid app with a 7-day free trial — every subscription starts with a full week free, no charge until it ends. Premium ($4.99/mo or $49.99/yr) unlocks the whole app. Premium+ ($9.99/mo or $99.99/yr) adds the Weekly Meal Plan — a 7-day, protein-forward lineup built on your macro target and household size. Subscriptions auto-renew through your Apple ID; cancel anytime.
NOT MEDICAL ADVICE
Protein targets are educational guidance based on published sports-nutrition literature. If you have a medical condition that affects your nutritional needs (kidney disease, diabetes, eating disorder, pregnancy), consult a licensed medical professional before using the targets.

• Page controls are now at the top of Browse too, so you can change pages without scrolling to the bottom.
• Gainplate now gives you a heads-up in the app when a new version is available.
