This is so important, I have to put my comp prep clients into kahunas because the meal planning system is so poor in trainerize, I love trainerize and I have used the system since 2018 but no sense in paying for two platforms so I will have to leave if the meal system is not updated to something like kahunas (basically like having MFP integrated to the system so I can enter to the gram exactly what i want someone to eat) Kahunas is also cheaper and offers unlimited clients for the one price, the only downfall is it's not as user friendly or as professional looking. There is not a lot keeping me here at this stage you need to up your game Trainerize!!

I see many other coaches are having this issue.

I started using Trainerize considering this a no-brainer. A coach should always be able to add custom made meals to a plan!

Feeling a bit disappointed honestly.

I'd love to know if there's a specific reason for this option not being in the system yet. I can't imagine it's a very big hassle to add it.

Love to hear from you!

Please please please make this a feature, it’s absolutely killing my ability to personalise a meal plan for clients using a custom database. This would be an invaluable resource and make the nutrition add on feature worth every penny

Hey Jovana did you get anything going for me or what?!

I do not use the meal planner in Trainerize specifically because i can’t add in my own meals to their meal plan. There is minimal meals in trainerize and it’s crazy that i would have to pay $45 a month for only 2 weeks worth of meals im even interested in putting in my clients meal plan. Not to mention only 3 days can be loaded in at a time.

Really really need this functionality! I have clients in a very specific diaspora and adding custom meals will be so so helpful!! please prioritize this! Many clients of mine dont use the meal planner currently because I am forced to use the in app meals and I have to give them extensive instructions on how they can access the recipes ive uploaded!

Any update on this?!?!? How is this not a feature thats been added yet? The functionality is all there? Just allow it please!!!!!

Its July 2023 and This function still doesn't exist... I want my money back :(

I was surprised that this feature didn't exist already. I think it is very important that trainers/nutritionists are able to create custom meal plans and not be restricted to exact calories and macro % when building custom plans. I work with clients to create tailored meal plans suited to their lifestyle and likes, so it's imperative that we have the freedom to be able to do this in the system. Thank you :)

I just subscribed to the Smart Meal Plan, at first i was very happy with what i got but i'm very dissapointed that i'm not able to add custom foods to it. WiIthout this the Smart Meal Plan is useless for me and i'm gonna quit the subscription. My clients want my custom meals so it would be great if i could integrate them into the SMP.

It's been said already by many others. This is really integral. The meal plan generator is essentially unusable until I can
- add meals
- show grocery lists(especially)

Love the recipes you already have in there!

Cancelling my smart meal plan until this happens! I thought this was a no brained and would happen automatically! Spent hours making custom meals for my clients to find out I couldn’t add them to their meal plan!!

Our clients want and love our own custom meals that we create- Would love to be able to create our own meals and be able to add these into their meal plans on the app. This is a REALLY big one for our clients or they dont use the trainerize app/system meals. So we are still usng our own PDF meal plans, and is a pain not being able to add our own in. Super critical.

We create alot of custom meals, as one of the things that attracts alot of our clients is our own meals, we would ideally like a choice of 3 day/5 day/7 day meal plans, to be able to generate them from our custom meals (maybe a select option to use custom only??) this is a very important option for our clients as they won't use the system meals, they only want to use ours or add their own/swap out.

I also find it odd that we are able to create custom meals yet are prevented from even swapping the system meals for our own, we can swap out system meals and cannot pick from our own

super critical for trainers so we can practice what we preach, show what proper meal tracking looks like to our clients, and be more familiarized with the app when demonstrating to clients

In addition to being able to add custom meals would be great to be able to modify recipes for example for the mixed berries I would like to remove the whip cream.

This! I'm going to cancel the smart meal planner subscription until we are able to enter our own meals and customize everything

Would love to be able to create custom meal plans!
- not having to use given recipes
- more specific (being able to specify meal 1, 2, 3, etc)
- able to do more than 3 meals with any given calorie range

Example custom meal:
__ grams of chicken (place to add substitutes)
__ grams of white rice
__ grams of vegetbales

Definitely add this feature! Game changer!

2 things are missing for trainerize to be great at nutrition following:
GROCERY LIST
and
USING CUSTOM MEALS IN A MEAL PLANNING.

It should be there.
Would like to know approximate date when...
Till then I have to use other app for nutrition planning.
Trainerize nutrition planning and following is easy but not complete yet.
