We have both iPhone and Android apps, both of which closely mirror the desktop version of Real Plans.

You can modify your meal plan, access the recipe box, and check off ingredients as you shop.

For Windows users, we have a lightweight version of Real Plans that works on your phone’s browser.

Real Planning tip number one: be realistic about how often you’ll cook. Time in the kitchen depends on how many recipes you’re game to prep.

In Real Plans settings, you can specify how many breakfasts, lunches, and dinners you’d like included each week.

You can always filter for “simple recipes.”

Batch cooking, yummy leftovers and the occasional cooking holiday (ahem, takeout + wine) encouraged.

Real Plans is used globally and costs of food vary greatly country to country, state to state. That said, we love happy bellies and happy wallets.

We’ve built a pricing filter that allows you to choose recipes based on cost and have a recipe tag for “budget meals.”

Savvy Real Planners find they save money by selecting a realistic number of meals they’ll cook in a week and because ingredients map to a specific recipe, food actually gets cooked (and gobbled).

Less food waste equals less money wasted.

Our Facebook group has some pretty clutch budget-tips and a boatload of ideas for swapping out pricey ingredients.

Yes. At checkout, you will be asked to provide a recipient email address and gift message.

You can choose the date you’d like the gift sent and you’ll only pay for the first subscription period. After that, it’s up to your pal to keep up the planning and add her own payment method.

You’ll be sent a confirmation email once your order is complete.

We have customers from all over the world!

Your plan will be generated using seasonal recipes for your hemisphere.

And, you can choose metric measurements if you’d like.

Yes. Allergies were one of the reasons we created Real Plans—they can throw a real wrench in everyday cooking. You can remove any food group you’re allergic to (or just don’t like) in the settings tab.

We love food tribes! When you first login you’ll pick a starting point: We have real food options including Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo, Primal, Paleo (AIP), GAPS, Pescatarian, Keto or Vegetarian. From there, you can mix and match to meet your crazy little family’s needs: You can be Paleo but not eat beef. Traditional, but avoiding nightshades. Pescatarian, without the shellfish. Hate mushrooms? No biggie. MIL in town, taking tofu off the table? Done. You get the idea. We don’t want to bore you with the technical details, but we’re pretty darn proud of what our developers have accomplished—a planning machine that is quite literally tailored to just the way you like to eat.

It does! But, if your days start out like the tornadoes that ours do, you might not be up for cooking in the morning. In that case you can just add ingredients—milk, eggs, oats, etc—to your plan and they’ll automatically be added to your shopping list. That said, lots of Real Planners find cooking batch breakfasts and freezing them in single servings is a ridiculously easy time-saver.

You can choose the day you would like to start your week in your settings. So, if your CSA box arrives on a Wednesday or you do most of your grocery shopping on Sundays, you can plan accordingly.

We have 3 options: monthly – $25, quarterly – $59 and annual – $144. The quarterly payment schedule works out to just under $20 per month and the annual works out to a $12 per month. We are a subscription service so we automatically charge at every billing interval. If you enjoy using Real Plans, we recommend purchasing the annual plan to maximize your savings. At $12/month – if we save you 1 trip to the store or one ingredient that does not get spoiled from being left at the back of the fridge… we feel we have done our job. Even if you purchased the monthly plan to try us out, you can always upgrade to the annual plan.

If you already have a Real Plans subscription and wish to purchase the Low Fodmap plan, you can do so from within the recipe box and this will be the same pricing as above, less the Real Plans subscription cost.
