Grocerplan is a free alternative to Eat This Much for weekly meal plans and grocery lists: it plans seven dinners in one tap and builds one grocery list, which opens on Instacart, where you choose the store and check out. Eat This Much's free plan generates daily meal plans, while planning a week at a time, the automatic grocery list and automatic leftovers need Premium, $5.00 a month with an annual subscription. If you plan to calorie and macro targets or log what you eat, Eat This Much is the better fit: Grocerplan shows estimated calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving but doesn't plan to a target or record your meals.

Seven dinners planned in one tap, free, swappable one by one
One grocery list for the week, sorted by aisle

Estimated calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving on all 137 recipes
42 of 78 dinners with an estimated 30 g of protein or more per serving
Eat This Much's free plan and Premium
Eat This Much's pricing page lists its free plan as generating daily meal plans, tracking what you eat, adding foods from barcodes, creating custom foods and recipes, and scheduling recurring foods. Premium, $5.00 a month with an annual subscription, adds planning a week of meals at a time, the automatic grocery list, the grocery store integration, automatic leftovers, customizing every day of the week, and PDFs of your plans. So on Eat This Much a week of meals with one grocery list needs Premium; in Grocerplan both are free.
Nutrition in Grocerplan
Every Grocerplan recipe shows estimated calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving. Its 78 dinners average an estimated 412 calories and 28 g of protein a serving, and 42 of them have 30 g of protein or more. For a higher-protein week, choose the High-Protein plan style under Tune options, or browse the high-protein recipes and put the dinners you want on your week with Add to Plan. Grocerplan does not plan to a calorie or macro target, and it does not record what you eat.
Who should choose Eat This Much instead
Choose Eat This Much if your plan has to hit numbers: you tell its generator the calories you want and how many meals, you can set specific macro targets once you create an account, and its pricing page offers different targets for each day of the week. Its free plan also tracks what you eat and adds foods from barcodes, so if logging matters most, Eat This Much's own free plan may suit you better. Choose Grocerplan for a free week of dinners for the whole household, with one grocery list, a profile per person and a SNAP/EBT budget setting.
Honest limits
•
No calorie or macro targets: the planner does not use a calorie number or macros. For plans built to targets, Eat This Much fits better.
•
No food logging and no barcode scanning: Grocerplan doesn't record what you eat.
•
Nutrition figures are estimates. Imported recipes show nutrition only when the page they came from lists it.
•
Plan my week plans dinners. Add breakfasts and lunches from the plan, or put any recipe on a day by hand.
•
A small catalog: 137 recipes of our own, 78 of them dinners.
•
Plan my week avoids repeating a recipe within the week but does not forbid it: when few recipes fit your diets and allergens, a dinner can come back.
•
A website, not an App Store or Google Play app. It works in your phone's browser.
•
Instacart is the only store handoff on the web today. You can also print the list and shop anywhere.
•
Keto, Low Carb, Paleo, Whole30 and Mediterranean have few recipes so far, so plans for them mix in other dinners, and the Plan screen says so.
