Flexible and Tasty Planning I have enjoyed and used Real Plans in many ways throughout the years. For weight control, dietary restrictions, Whole30, and now sugar/carbohydrates control, the Real Plans met my needs with flexible, tasty meals.

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.

Not what I thought it was I never even opened the app or used the service. I misunderstood what this was and signed up thinking it was part of Whole 30 because of an endorsement and an ad. By the time I realized my error, I reached out and they refused to give me my money back because I was beyond the allotted days for return. They wouldn't even agree to a partial return. Made me sad more than anything else.

Real Plans was an absolute life saver… Real Plans was an absolute life saver as I started an elimination diet and reintroductions. It took the planning and guesswork out of the process for me. I love that I can specify what ingredients I want or don't want within specific diets and the plans are very easy to follow.

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.
