Best AI meal planner apps (2026)

We make Siloh. Here's how we judged:

1. Plan quality for your goal. Does it plan to calories and macros you set, and can you adjust it?
2. What you can try for free. Free tier or trial, and what it actually covers.
3. Grocery list. Does the plan become a shopping list?
4. Training awareness. Does the plan know what you're doing in the gym or on the road?
5. Price and platforms. Real prices from each company or a recent review.

Comparison table

1. Eat This Much

Best for: getting a full day or week of meals that hits a calorie target, cheaply.

Eat This Much calls itself an automatic meal planner rather than an AI app, but it does the job most people mean by "AI meal planner": you set a diet, a calorie target and how many meals you eat, and it fills in the plan.

• Pros: Free daily plan generation with barcode scanning and custom recipes. Premium adds weekly plans, an automatic grocery list, grocery delivery integration and leftovers handling.
• Cons: The free tier is one day at a time. Plans don't change for training days.
• Price: Free. Premium is $5 a month with an annual subscription.

2. Fitia

Best for: people who want AI to build and adjust a plan through chat.

• Pros: Builds plans from your goals, calorie targets and preferences, suggests recipes and creates shopping lists. You can adjust plans through chat, meal swaps and portion changes. Logs food by photo, voice, text or barcode.
• Cons: Meal plans need Premium, and BarBend's August 2026 review notes plans use in-app coins that can run out. It asks how many days a week you train but doesn't plan around a workout program.
• Price: Free tier for logging. Premium is $19.99 a month or $59.99 a year, with a 3-day trial (per BarBend).

3. Siloh

Best for: people who lift, run or fight and want their meals planned around their training.

Siloh is a nutrition and training app that plans your meals and your workouts as one system, so training days and rest days eat differently. Siloh Pro generates the meal plan and the training program together, adapts after a skipped session, and includes an AI coach you can ask what to eat or how to train.

• Pros: Training-day and rest-day fueling, with programs for lifting, running, MMA and combat, and hybrid. Restaurant recommendations that fit your plan. The free tier has no paywall on logging, recipes or grocery lists.
• Cons: AI plans need Pro. iPhone only for now, with Android coming soon. It's a newer app (launched July 30, 2026), so there are fewer reviews than the others here.
• Price: Free. Siloh Pro has a 7-day free trial, then $19.99 a month or $149.99 a year.

4. Samsung Food (Food+)

Best for: home cooks who already save recipes and want AI to personalize them.

• Pros: The free app covers recipe saving, meal plans and shopping lists. Food+ adds AI-guided recipes, AI recipe personalization, tailored 7-day meal plans and nutrition goal tracking.
• Cons: Several Food+ features are only on the mobile app, and you can only subscribe from a mobile device. It's built around recipes, not training.
• Price: Free. Food+ is $6.99 a month or $59.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial.

5. MyFitnessPal Premium+

Best for: people who already log in MyFitnessPal and want a planner in the same place.

• Pros: The meal planner sits in the app's Plan tab, with 1,500+ recipes, automated ingredient lists, grocery app syncing in the US and automatic logging of planned meals.
• Cons: It's the priciest option here, and the planner is only in Premium+, not Premium. The meal planner is available in the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia only.
• Price: $99.99 a year or $24.99 a month.

How to choose

Start with your goal. If it's a calorie number and you want the cheapest path, use Eat This Much. If you want to talk to the planner and swap meals in a chat, try Fitia. If your week is built around training sessions and you want food that follows them, try Siloh Pro's 7-day trial. If you mostly cook from saved recipes, Samsung Food's free tier may be all you need.
