MyFitnessPal, known for placing its top features behind a paywall, has rolled out a new premium function called Meal Planner. This tool aims to address rising food costs by leveraging machine learning to create personalized weekly meal plans based on your budget, complete with a grocery list.
While the feature is certainly impressive, it comes as part of MyFitnessPal’s annual membership priced at $99, which may be hard to justify amid skyrocketing food prices. However, it’s worth noting that a well-planned meal strategy could indeed help users save money over time, providing some rationale for MyFitnessPal’s approach.
- Users can enter their goals, budget, dietary preferences, and household size to receive a customized weekly meal plan along with an easy-to-follow grocery list.
- For those who find shopping in-store a hassle, the tool connects with major e-retailers like Instacart, enabling you to order everything on your list directly online.
As mentioned by MyFitnessPal, Meal Planner’s integration with services like Instacart streamlines the shopping experience, making it a particularly appealing feature.
Personally, I stopped using the app when they removed the barcode scanner, so if this post seems a bit critical, that’s my bias showing. The change still stings.
