I've created an account. Saved a meal plan. Now I want to generate a grocery shopping list, but it appears you can only do that with a paid account. I've been looking for an app to do this for quite a while.

Could you post an example of what a generated shopping list looks like?

Edit: Thanks chrishas35

Looks like there are samples now available on the Registration page.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I would happily drink [a liter] of whole milk every morning Same here, plus you could throw in some stevia & cocoa to make it chocolate milk without adding much extra energy.

Wouldn't that amount of whole milk just make you vomit? (not an expert, just asking). Is there some trick to keeping it down?

It shouldn't, but it gets to be a lot of milk. Most people (that aren't dairy sensitive) could probably stomach a few more cups (8 fl oz.) without losing it, maybe up to 1/2 gallon. Throwing up usually happens when people try to drink a whole gallon in an hour type thing.

I'm not drinking 4 cups of whole milk for breakfast. I'm probably never going to eat a cup of almonds and some celery for lunch... I think you need to put some serious work into making sure that each suggestion is appetizing as opposed to rummaging through the pantry and finding something that technically meets the requirements.

Different people have different tastes, if you don't like it, you can hit the refresh meal button.

I absolutely LOVE this app. I'm very into fitness and getting recipes for my kind of diet can be pretty difficult. You definitely need to add some more recipes though as I keep getting a "simple fish chowder" for breakfast/meal 3/meal 4/meal 5 which is a little too much of the same thing.

Im looking forward to using this to track my macros.

This is basically what I've started setting up for myself too. It's like recreating nutrisystem without the prepackaged foods. I love the idea, it needs more maturity though. Once the recipe database gets larger and there's more controls for foods and meals this will be a great tool.

I'd love the ability to save favorite meals (and to build them myself rather than randomly generate them) which would show up more often in my meal plans.

That said I created an account and will be using it.

The UI gets in the way of an interesting product. Nothing a little user testing couldn't solve, though! I thought I'd suggest that you remove the underline from all of the lines at the top of the page, as it makes them all appear to be links and reduces readability. They will be just as prominent without that decoration, and it will actually make your sign up link more visible. You may want to consider moving the sig…

For some reason the underline hadn't been showing up on my laptop and I had to check it out on my phone when you mentioned it to actually see it. Should be fixed now.
