Mixed experience Mixed experience. Really like the ease of scheduling meals and shopping list function. But there aren’t enough good recipes, and the excluding ingredients function is either wonky or too complicated, so recipes are showing up with ingredients I thought I had excluded.

I love the recipes and being able to… I love the recipes and being able to access them easily. I was not dedicated enough to set up meal plans, and decided to opt out. Should I become more focused on planning meals, I’ll definitely renew.

I havent been using RealPlans for that… I havent been using RealPlans for that long but my experince has been alrite. I wouldn't esacally call the website escelent but it's definitely not bad. It has pretty much anything you might need for basic planing but there's not much else. The site is quick and easy to use but I can't say I'm that impressed with the quality. It's all pretty simple. So far I havent had any issuses with RealPlans which is good. Like I said it's not amazin but it will get the job done.

Mostly 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.

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.
