Macro split
Your daily targets
Enter your details and press Calculate My Targets to see a safe daily calorie and macro target.
Weekly plan · target not set kcal/day
Smart weekly grocery list
Every food across all seven days, combined and totalled so you shop once.
The balanced-plate method
Numbers help, but you do not need to count every calorie. Building each plate to these proportions keeps meals balanced on their own.
Calories across the week
Green bars sit at or under your daily target; red means the day went over. A day or two over is normal — look at the week as a whole.
Gentle projection
Steady, slow change is easier to keep off. This projection assumes a safe pace and never plans below a healthy minimum intake.
Add food
Full 7-Day Planner
Lay out breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for the whole week. Each day shows a running calorie total against your target, so you can balance a heavier day with a lighter one instead of guessing.
Safe Calorie & Macro Targets
Enter your details once and the planner works out a sensible daily calorie and macro target using standard formulas — and it holds that target above a healthy minimum rather than chasing an extreme number.
Filters, Templates & Grocery List
Filter foods by vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, or dairy-free, save a day you like as a reusable template, and turn the whole week into one combined shopping list you can print or export.
How to Use the Meal Plan Studio
Set your targets
Enter age, sex, height, weight, and activity, then press Calculate for a safe daily calorie and macro goal.

Open the 7-Day Planner, add foods to each meal, and use the dietary filters to match how you eat.

🔴 What this planner does for you
Planning meals ahead of time is one of the few habits that reliably makes healthy eating easier, because most poor food choices happen when you are hungry and have not decided what to eat. This offline meal planner gives you a place to lay out a full week, see roughly how the calories and protein add up, and shop for it in one trip. It runs entirely in your browser, so your weight, height, and food choices stay on your own device with nothing uploaded and no account to create.
It is a planning and learning tool, not a diagnosis or a diet prescription. The numbers are estimates from standard formulas, and bodies vary, so treat the targets as a starting point you can adjust with a doctor or registered dietitian.
🟡 Building a week you’ll actually follow
Start on the Setup tab, enter your details, and pick a gentle weekly goal such as losing half a kilogram per week. The planner returns a daily calorie target and splits it into protein, carbs, and fat using whichever macro style you choose — balanced, low-carb, keto, or high-protein. Then move to the 7-Day Planner and start adding foods. If you eat a particular way, set the filter to vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, or dairy-free and the food list narrows to match.
Two features save real time across a week. Once you build a day you are happy with, save it as a template and drop it onto other days rather than rebuilding it. When the week is full, the Grocery tab combines every food into a single list with totals, so three lunches using chicken show up as one line, not three. You can export that list as a CSV or use Print to save it as a PDF. For working out the nutrition of a single home recipe rather than a whole day, the recipe nutrition calculator is the better tool, and it pairs naturally with this planner.
🟢 The guardrails: why it won’t let you crash-diet
Plenty of calculators online will happily hand you a 900-calorie target if you ask for fast results. This one will not, on purpose. It caps how aggressive your daily deficit can be and never sets a target below a healthy floor — roughly 1,200 calories for women and 1,500 for men — because eating under that without medical supervision tends to cost you muscle, energy, and the very consistency that makes weight loss stick. If your inputs would push below that line, the planner quietly raises the target and tells you why.
This offline meal planner leans the same way in its Insights tab. Instead of only counting numbers, it shows a balanced-plate guide — half vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter whole grains — that keeps meals sensible even on a day you do not log every gram. Slow, steady change is easier to keep, and the projection here assumes exactly that pace. For the reasoning behind building a tool like this fully on your device, the offline utilities guide explains the privacy case, and reputable general guidance on healthy weight lives at Harvard’s Nutrition Source. If you want the science behind the numbers, see the companion article on how a calorie deficit works.
Is it really free, offline, and private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser, so your body details and meal choices never leave your device. There is no account, no upload, and after the page loads it keeps working without a connection.
How does it work out my calorie target?
It estimates your resting needs with the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, adjusts for your activity level, then subtracts a modest, capped deficit for your chosen weekly goal. The result is a starting estimate, not an exact figure.
Why won’t it let me set a very low target?
Because very low intakes are hard to sustain and can be unsafe without supervision. The planner holds your target above a healthy minimum and eases overly aggressive deficits, so the plan stays steady rather than extreme.
Can I use it if I’m vegetarian, vegan, or halal?
Yes. The food picker has filters for vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, and dairy-free, and you can add your own custom foods with their calories for anything not listed.
Does it save my plan?
Your week is stored in this browser’s local storage, so it is still there when you come back on the same device. Clearing site data or switching browsers starts a fresh plan.
Can I print it or export it?
Yes. The Grocery tab builds a combined shopping list, and you can export the full week as a CSV or use Print to save a clean PDF of your plan and list.
Do I have to weigh every food?
No. The numbers help, but the balanced-plate guide in Insights lets you eat well without tracking every gram. Use the detail when it is useful and the plate method when it is not.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a general planning tool for education. Speak to a doctor or registered dietitian before starting a weight-loss plan, particularly if you are pregnant, under 18, or managing a health condition.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The planner stacks into a single column on small screens, so you can build and check your week from a phone as easily as a laptop.
