Eat This Much App Review UK (2026)
The automatic meal planner that creates personalised meal plans and shopping lists based on your nutrition targets
What is Eat This Much?
Eat This Much is an automatic meal planning app. You set your nutrition targets (calories, macros, dietary preferences), and it generates complete meal plans with recipes and shopping lists. It's essentially a personal diet assistant that removes the decision fatigue from meal planning.
The app stands out by offering both mobile and desktop versions - unusual in a mobile-first market.
What Eat This Much Offers
- Automatic Meal Plans: Generated based on your nutrition targets
- Recipes: Full recipes with instructions for planned meals
- Shopping Lists: Auto-generated grocery lists from meal plans
- Food Tracking: Log what you actually eat
- Like/Dislike System: Refine recommendations based on taste
- Dietary Filters: Vegetarian, vegan, keto, paleo, etc.
- Leftovers Management: Tells you when to save and use leftovers
- Desktop + Mobile: Full functionality on both platforms
Eat This Much Pricing
- Free Version: Plan current day only, create custom recipes, basic tracking
- Premium Annual: ~$59/year (~$5/month)
- Premium Monthly: $14.99/month
- Free Trial: 14-day trial available
- Refund Policy: 30-day no-questions-asked refund
Note: Pricing is in USD. UK users should check the app for current GBP pricing.
How It Works
The concept is simple but powerful:
- Set your targets: Calories, macros, meal frequency
- Choose dietary preferences: Vegetarian, low-carb, allergies, etc.
- Get meal plans: App generates a week of meals
- Get shopping list: All ingredients compiled into one list
- Cook and track: Follow recipes, log what you eat
- Refine: Like/dislike foods to improve future recommendations
The app learns your preferences over time, suggesting foods you've liked and avoiding ones you haven't.

What Real Users Say
Eat This Much has limited Trustpilot presence but positive App Store reviews:
"Finally an app that tells me what to eat instead of just tracking what I ate. The shopping lists save so much time. Game-changer for meal prep." - App Store review
"The best app out there to track calories. Having it on desktop is brilliant - I can plan on my laptop and shop on my phone. Support resolved my issue same day." - Trustpilot review
What positive reviewers say: Removes decision fatigue, great shopping lists, helpful support
What negative reviewers say: Need to pay for full features, recipe variety could be better
Who Eat This Much Is For
Meal Preppers
Perfect for weekly meal prep planning.
Decision-Fatigued
Tired of "what should I eat?" every day.
Macro Trackers
Want meals planned to hit your targets.
Desktop Users
Full web version alongside mobile app.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Those who eat out often: App assumes you'll cook the planned meals
- People who hate cooking: Requires actually making the recipes
- Pure calorie trackers: Other apps track more, plan less
- Free-only users: Free version is quite limited
The Bottom Line
Eat This Much solves a different problem than most nutrition apps. Instead of tracking what you ate (reactive), it tells you what to eat (proactive). For people who struggle with meal planning and the daily "what should I cook?" question, this approach is genuinely useful.
The automatic meal plans and shopping lists save real time. The like/dislike system means plans improve over time. Having both desktop and mobile apps adds convenience.
The downside is that it requires you to actually cook. If you primarily eat out or grab food on the go, the meal planning approach is less relevant. The free version is also quite limited - this is really a premium-or-nothing app.
Our verdict: Excellent for meal preppers and planners. Less useful if you don't cook regularly.
