Incredibly versatile I am impressed with how many different dietary styles are accommodated by Real Plans. I think the common denominator is “real” food. It’s whole foods, in whatever style you choose. I myself have used the Paleo, Vegan, Classic, and GAPS styles. Real Plans is very versatile and perfect for our family. There are so many customization and automated options that it has taken me a long time to utilize them all. Basically, if you do something specific with your meal planning (like pancake Saturday mornings), there are settings to automate that. Pretty awesome. The only complaint I have is that I love to pre-plan a month’s meals at a time, but you can only do three weeks at a time, and it’s a bit difficult to do so because the app likes to reset you to the current week. Also, as I go along and want to tweak my settings, usually any tweaking requires you to erase all future planned meals, which keeps me from changing things to accommodate our schedule better. But overall, best meal planning app I’ve ever used. You can also upload and enter your own recipes or online recipes. Time consuming, but helpful for planning family favorites.

Not worth it for me at this time I found the lowest-tier professional plan too expensive for 1-2 clients. It just didn’t make sense for me, especially when the recipes didn’t show much variation when certain dietary filters, like Paleo, were applied. A client also told me she was having trouble with the shopping list feature in the app. Great idea overall, but I think execution could be improved, along with affordability for just-starting-out professionals.

This app has been a life saver This app has been a life saver! The choices of plans to choose from that are still customizable to my needs and needs of my husband are great!!! The list that I can make by checking off things I already have makes shopping super easy!! And the recipes are spot on!!

You can be healthy AND lazy I like to stick to a certain diet and make homemade meals but am terrible about planning or remembering to do anything, so RealPlans is perfect. I was able to pick a diet type to start with and then modify it for my specific needs. I've loved almost all of the recipes, and I particularly love not having to think about it at all.

One of my best ever decisions was… One of my best ever decisions was signing up for RealPlans. Delicious food, easy recipes, shopping lists. Makes healthier eating easier than unhealthy eating, which is saying something.
