Macro Recipe

Macro Recipe is an iPhone meal planner that builds a day or a full week of meals around your calorie and macro targets. You set your targets, diet, allergies and tastes, and the app selects dishes from its catalogue of more than 7,500 recipes, adjusts ingredient quantities to your numbers and generates a grocery list with estimated prices.

You can set a grocery budget and see when the estimated weekly cost goes over it, swap a dish and have the day rebalance, and import recipes from a link or a photo. The app can also suggest dinner from a photo of your fridge or pantry, and it offers guided cooking with timers, batch cooking across several meals (Premium), meal logging and a nutrition score that includes vitamins. Diets and allergens such as halal, vegan and gluten-free are taken into account.

Macro Recipe is free to download with a preview of the first menu, meal logging, grocery lists and stats; creating further menus requires a Premium subscription. Calories, macros and costs are estimates. It is available for iPhone only.
