GBYou 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.

GBMostly very positive Mostly very positive; sometimes auto populated weekly menus have the tendency to clump foods together— like four kinds of stew in one week. So you replace three of them with other things for variety.

GBMostly very good stuff Mostly very good stuff, very well done. However, some recipes call for "shredded beef" or similar, without factoring in cook the beef. Or the recipe provides a marinade but not the meat to marinade in it (which means you have to put another recipe in place to make sure you also buy the meat. Also, frequently, the recipe proportions are wayyyyy off. Often buy way too much food, even after I cut things in half, especially produce quantities. There are also some recipes where things just don't work, like the raspberry scones where one egg is supposed to be used as a glaze, but the mixture at that point in the recipe is too soft to apply a glaze to. Lastly, it can be finicky to add recipes to the plan. but generally a good tool we continue to use every week.

GBWhat I think Overall, I think you have hit the nail on the head - meaning - you're really covering the basic aspects of following the Whole30 in real life. Very well laid out and planned, obviously by people who have gone through this. I'm still early so I need more time to see and experience it in full but so far, I say, job well done.

GBIncredibly 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.
