👋 Hi Product Hunt! I'm Ezra, and I built MealPlans.dev because I wanted more consistency in my diet. Over time, I realized that every food decision introduced a little more variability into my nutrition. Once I found a meal plan that worked for me, I didn't want to recreate it every day. I wanted a simple way to understand the nutritional impact of that plan, make adjustments when my goals changed, and then follow it consistently. I wanted to know what I was eating before the day started so I could stop thinking about food and get on with the rest of my day. That's ultimately what MealPlans.dev is designed to do. Build a meal plan, see calories, protein, carbs, fat, sodium, and potassium immediately, make adjustments when your goals change, and reuse what works. One of the ideas that influenced the product is: Repetition is a feature, not a bug. Most people don't eat completely different meals every day. I certainly don't. I have a meal plan that I repeat daily and only change when my goals change. For example, as I got closer to my goal weight, I increased my carbohydrates and adjusted the rest of the plan accordingly. Along the way, that consistency helped me lose over 40 pounds. MealPlans.dev grew out of the process I used to plan and adjust my nutrition over time. MealPlans.dev is free, requires no account, and is intentionally focused on planning rather than tracking. I'd love to hear: - How are you currently planning meals? - Do you plan ahead or decide meal-by-meal? - What's the most frustrating part of meal planning today? Thanks for checking it out, and I'm happy to answer questions throughout the day. 🙌

Does the plan adjust automatically when I swap a meal out, or do I have to re-enter the nutrition info myself to keep the daily totals accurate?

@grkemellek1eu3 Yep! That was one of the goals. You can experiment with different meals and immediately see how the nutrition totals change.

Love that it shows sodium and potassium alongside the usual macros. Most apps ignore those and then people wonder why they feel puffy or sluggish.

@hayrunnisa69ve Thanks! That was actually one of the reasons I built it this way. I originally started paying much closer attention to sodium for blood pressure, and over time I realized potassium and the sodium-to-potassium ratio were just as useful to see alongside calories and protein.

Does it help you find your maintenance calories, or do you have to know that going in?

@tyler_bush Currently you'll want to know the nutrition targets you're planning around. MealPlans.dev helps you build meal plans that match your goals, rather than estimating what those goals should be.

Finally, an app that lets me plan instead of just react after eating. Loved seeing the full nutrition breakdown before deciding what to make.

@kevinturnemcmj Thanks! That’s exactly the problem I built MealPlans.dev to solve. I've found it's much easier to make adjustments before the food is on your plate than after it’s already been eaten.
