Preplate: Meal Prep & Macros

Plan your week around your macros, then shop it aisle by aisle. Now with AI meal planning and photo logging.

Preplate is the meal planning app built for people who actually meal prep.

Plan your lunches and dinners for the week, track every macro, and generate a grocery list that writes itself — all in one app. Whether you're cutting, bulking, or just eating better on a budget, Preplate makes it simple.

HOW IT WORKS

Pick your recipes. Fill your week. Tap Finalize and your grocery list builds itself — duplicate ingredients combined, everything sorted by aisle, ready for the store.

TRACK WHAT YOU EAT

Log food by search, barcode, or plain description. Search results resolve to the same record as the detail screen, so the calories you see are the calories you log. Scan a packaged item and Preplate defaults to the serving on the label — "1 can," "1 scoop" — with ounces and grams behind it. Calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and sodium, all on one screen.

MEAL PREP MODE

Assign one recipe to all five weekday lunches with a single tap. Preplate calculates the batch size, scales the ingredients, and adds everything to your shopping list. Sunday prep, sorted.

44 READY-TO-COOK RECIPES

Every recipe is a complete meal — protein, carb, and vegetable included. No "just the chicken breast" entries. Accurate macros per serving. Filter by Under 30 Min, Crockpot, Meal Prep, Freezer Friendly, High Protein, Low Carb, or One Pot. Cooking Mode walks you through each step with built-in timers and keeps your screen awake.

SMART GROCERY LIST

Your list groups items by aisle and combines duplicates intelligently — if two recipes use chicken breast, you see one line with the total. Check items off as you shop. Quick-add anything in plain language: type "2 lbs chicken" and it files itself.

MACRO TRACKING & APPLE HEALTH

Set daily targets for calories, protein, carbs, and fat. See exactly where the day lands before you cook a single thing. Everything you log is saved to Apple Health automatically. You can also opt in to import steps, active energy, and weight back into Preplate.

WATER & WEIGHT

Log water against a daily goal and track your weight with a trend line, so progress stays visible without a second app.

ADD YOUR OWN RECIPES

Type them in by hand or paste from your clipboard — Preplate parses the ingredients and steps for you. Scale any recipe up or down and the macros adjust automatically.

WIDGETS

Today's lunch and dinner on your home screen, with calories and protein at a glance.
