Struggle free, healthy recipes that are easy on the wallet. It’s as simple as that, and it’s a message that’s seen over 1 million people follow FitMenCook on social media.
Be honest, have you ever heard these complaints about healthy eating?
- “Eating healthy is too expensive!”
- “It takes too long! I don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen.”
- “Healthy food is too bland”
- “Meal prep is too complicated”
Kevin Curry, founder of FitMenCook, has been there. After spotting a picture of himself on a friend’s Facebook wall he knew it was time for a change.
He followed all the common advice, changed to a healthy diet and started hitting the gym.
For a few months, things were great, but after a while he found himself craving the old foods he was trying so hard to avoid.
He got his hands on every book he could find on nutrition and started experimenting in the kitchen.
His aims were simple:
A) Food should be easy to prepare and affordable
B) Food should be vibrant and tasty, never boring
C) Preparing food in advance is important
D) Following a, b, c helps you achieve your fitness goals
The results were a game changer for Kevin and now he’s sharing that message to the FitMenCook community on social media, inside the FMC app and as a bestselling cookbook author.

Changed the Way I Eat

Ok so I’ve been putting off this review for years so here goes. I started using this app way back when it first came out, I had never heard of the blog or anything. At that time I had just graduated from college and was starting my first ‘real job’. Let’s just say while I had kind of grown up my lunch packing skills were still at an elementary school level 😂. I brought two uncrustables a bag of chips and some applesauce every day😬. I needed a change and meal prepping was the trend so I found this app and gave it a try. Well..it’s now almost 2018 and I still use the app every week when I do my shopping and prepping. I prep all of my breakfasts and lunches M-F as well as few dinners. I have my go to favorites but also love to try the new stuff that is constantly being added. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to make the bbq shepherds pie every meal 😁. Bottom line I am not only saving a ton of money but I’ve also really smashed a lot of my fitness goals. I have recommended this app to so many people and will continue to every time someone says “what’s in that mason jar?” or “Your lunch always smells so good”. Download the app, try the recipes, experiment and make them your own. Before you know it you’ll be cranking out a weeks worth of meals in an hour and saving money on that grocery bill. Do it!!!!
Amazing!

I was blown away by this app. I’m usually skeptical about apps that cost money, and I spend a lot of time looking into them. I look at a lot of the reviews, and stuff online about the app. Well, it took me 5 minutes of research and looking at reviews to download this app. I had high hopes for it, and it did NOT disappoint. For how cheap the app is, it is definitely worth the money. You have 1000+ recipes in the app, and they’re all healthy! It’s amazing! There are many different types of foods and I really do love the app. I’ve been meal prepping for awhile, and I started having a hard time finding recipes online, so I decided to take a look at some apps for meal prepping, and this was one of the first ones to show up. This app changed the way I eat a lot. From eating chips, cosmic brownies, a caprie sun, and a lunchable to eating full on healthy meals, like burgers, or chicken tenders…it’s AMAZING! I’m down 10 pounds from exercising, and eating really well. All of my meals have came from this app, and it’s doing good for me. I HIGHLY recommend this app. :)
Very Helpful

For someone who is recently focused on diet and meal prepping, this app is perfect. It takes the exhaustion out of finding healthy recipes that fit the diet you are working to maintain. The instructions are clear and helpful and the shopping list feature is great.One note that I think could make this a next level fitness app would be the inclusion of a macro consumption tracker in the app. This app provides all the macro nutritional info on a per serving basis and also lets you organize the meal prep per day. It even lets you send serving sizes to the Apple Health app. But, if I could just log the portions of each meal I ate for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack each day, it would be far easier. Having all the tracking information in one place, such as this app, would truly put this app above and beyond any others.If you add the consumption tracker I don’t think I see another app on the market that can compete at this price point. Well done in making what is currently available though, very helpful.
