How MealMain Works

MealMain connects the stages of cooking that usually happen across five different apps — finding recipes, tracking nutrition, planning your week, building a shopping list, and logging what you cook — into one workflow that is genuinely easier to stick to.

Build, Import, or Discover Recipes

Start with a recipe. You can create one from scratch using MealMain's verified ingredient database, import one instantly using AI, or browse the community feed and save recipes from verified creators. All three give you a recipe with complete nutrition attached.

Track Your Nutrition

Nutrition totals in MealMain come from the actual ingredients in each recipe — not averaged estimates from a generic database. Daily summaries and weekly history let you see trends over time and adjust your planning to match your goals.

Weekly history view to track progress over time

Detailed nutrient breakdowns including fibre, sodium, and more

Macro calculator to set personalised daily targets

Totals update instantly as you change your plan

Shop, Cook, and Build History

Your meal plan becomes a shopping list automatically. Ingredients are merged, totalled, and grouped by category so you can shop efficiently. Check items off as you go, log what you cook, and build a history that makes future planning easier.
