MealTally: Budget Meal Planner

MealTally is a budget meal planner that builds your weekly meal plan and a priced grocery list in minutes. Tell it who you cook for and how much you want to spend, and get a week of meals planned around your budget, diet and family.

Plan your week in a few taps
Answer a few questions: how many adults and kids you cook for, which meals to plan (breakfast, lunch, dinner or any mix), 5 or 7 days, your weekly grocery budget and how long you can cook on a weeknight. MealTally creates a full weekly meal plan with variety across the week. Don't like a dish? Swap any meal and see the price difference, redo the whole week, or plan next week ahead.

A grocery list that keeps you on budget
Your shopping list fills itself in from your meal plan. Ingredients are combined across recipes and grouped by aisle, so shopping goes faster. Items from your recipes show an estimated price, and you can enter what you really pay so future lists get closer to your actual total. Check items off as you shop, see what you have spent so far, add your own items, and share the list by text or email.

Easy recipes for every day
Need dinner ideas? Cook from 100 easy recipes, including quick weeknight dinners, high protein bowls, soups, salads, comfort food and simple breakfasts. Each recipe shows the cooking time, the estimated cost per portion, calories and macros per portion, and clear step by step instructions. Scale any recipe for the people at your table, then use cooking mode to follow one step at a time while the screen stays on.

Meal plans that fit how you eat
Choose a vegetarian, vegan or pescatarian meal plan, or eat everything. Filter out recipes made with dairy, eggs, gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, shellfish or sesame, and skip foods nobody likes, such as mushrooms, cilantro, onions or spicy dishes. Kids count as half a portion, so MealTally also works as a family meal planner.

Your kitchen, your settings
Pick your currency, including US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars, British pounds and euros, and switch between US cups and ounces or metric grams and milliliters. Save favorite recipes, look back at past weeks and reuse a week you loved.

No account needed
Your meal plans and grocery lists are stored on your phone, and planning works without an internet connection.
