Intent - Meal Planner 4+

Intent has been the best meal planning app we have used! It has a simple yet attractive interface and is user-friendly. We have been using it for a few weeks now, and the thing that truly stands out is a lack of pressure. It is simply a meal planning app that provides suggestions for your goals but isn’t a diet coach. Many of us download a meal planning app to get ideas, try new foods, and hone our diet. But we end up feeling pressured to enter daily calories or to follow the plan to a T. I guess that’s the quantified life we all have fallen into by having every metric our watches and phones are measuring presented to us in pretty graphs. This app is simply a great meal planning app. We love that it can be curated to your goals, the meals are great, the ability to adjust it whenever you want and take leftovers into account is extremely helpful. The grocery list is convenient, and integration with Instacart is convenient, though what Instacart interprets falls short from time to time, but that’s Instacart, not this app. The first week we were using it, I received a little message thanking us for trying it and inviting us to provide feedback. I honestly thought it was a bot but had a few ideas that would be nice. I was impressed to end up in a dialogue with someone from the Developer. I highly suggest giving it a shot! I can’t wait to see how they evolve.

This is literally the best meal planning app ever, and it’s FREE! You get to choose what recipes you like for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for however long you need. You get to list foods you don’t like to ensure those recipes won’t include them. So it plans out what you eat everyday based on recipes you chose (it can account for leftovers too!), then the best part in my opinion, is it compiles a grocery list of every ingredient for every recipe + snacks and side dishes!!! That way you don’t buy groceries you won’t need and you know exactly what amounts of everything to buy. (You can check off each item on the grocery list too!!!) It’s a perfect app that makes my life so much easier.

From a technical standpoint, there isn’t anything wrong with it either. It hardly ever glitches and almost always runs smoothly. There are in app purchases and you can get the premium version for access to certain locked recipes (not too many & if you want it that bad you can look it up) or add your own recipes. Not necessary though and the app has full functionality without paying a dime!

Get this app if you’re single and don’t know how to cook for only one person, or if you have a family, you get to choose the servings!!! It’s seriously the best.

The app is really great. Firstly, it helps me prep meals and takes away the stress of what to eat. Second, I love how many options there are and how it helps me achieve my weight goal. Third, the recipes included are delicious, easy to make and a great place to learn how food works together healthy. Fourth, it’s affordable. Not only is the app at a fair price, but their grocery lists for the week for in person do not exceed $100. That comes out to being less than $10 a day on all my meals! Fifth, I’m actually minimizing food waste as old recipe ingredients are built into next weeks recipes & it teaches me when I can eat leftovers. Sixth the recipes are catered to feed however many mouths you’re trying to feed. So instead of shopping for a family and wasting all my food, I’m actually eating for just me. It helps me strategize meal planning too. Seventh, all recipes are quick so even after a long day of teaching, I can come home, cook and relax reasonably. Finally their customer support is with you the whole way, they’ll listen to your needs, wants and just converse with you on how the app is working. Deff would recommend if you’re looking to learn how to budget, food manage, cook and eat healthy!
