MealMain brings together AI-powered recipe creation, accurate nutrition data, weekly meal planning, smart shopping lists, and a creator community — all connected in one place so you spend less time organising and more time actually cooking.
Platform Features
Every feature connects to the next — from finding a recipe to buying the ingredients and logging the cook.
Premium
AI Recipe Import & Creation
Import any recipe from a URL, photo, Instagram screenshot, or plain-text description in seconds. MealMain's AI reads the source, pulls out the ingredients and steps, and attaches a full nutrition breakdown automatically. You can also describe a meal you want — ingredients on hand, a cuisine, a calorie target — and the AI builds a complete recipe from scratch.
Verified Ingredient Database
Every ingredient on MealMain carries verified nutrition data — protein, carbs, fat, fibre, sugar, sodium, and more. When you build or import a recipe, the nutrition is calculated from the actual ingredients at the quantities you use, not from a generic estimate. Ingredients submitted by users go through a review process before they go live, keeping the data clean.
Recipe Search & Discovery
Search recipes by name, ingredient, cooking time, or nutritional targets. Filter by protein range, calorie count, dietary preferences, or creator. The community feed surfaces recipes from verified creators, and you can save anything you find to your personal library.
Premium
Weekly Meal Planner
Assign recipes to days in your week, set your serving size for each meal, and watch your daily nutrition totals update live as you plan. Compare each day against your personal targets so you can see at a glance whether you're on track before you even go shopping.
Premium
Nutrition Tracking & History
Every meal you plan contributes to your daily macro and calorie totals — calculated from the ingredients in the recipe, not averaged estimates. Review weekly history to spot patterns, and use the macro calculator to set personalised targets based on your weight, activity level, and goals.
Smart Shopping Lists
Your meal plan turns into a shopping list automatically. Ingredients from all your planned recipes are merged and grouped by category — produce, dairy, pantry, meat — so you can work through the supermarket efficiently. Past shopping trips are saved so repeat weeks take minutes, not an hour.
Cooking & Shopping History
Log meals as you cook to build a record of what you actually make. Review past shopping trips to see what you bought, spot what you tend to waste, and plan future weeks more accurately. Over time, your history becomes a useful reference for building consistent routines.
Creator Profiles & Community
Follow verified food creators and browse their full recipe libraries. Every published recipe shows a complete nutrition breakdown. If you want to publish your own recipes, you can apply to become a verified creator — a process that ensures quality stays high across the platform.
