I really thought this was already possible, about to launch June, this is a MUST have, I cant see the point in being able to add my own meal to the master library and NOT be able to use it in the smart planner?

Holy guacamole please do this. This would help me so incrediby much

Can we connect MyFitnessPal? If not, I would absolutely capitalize on it. So many people I connect with use it and if they don't it's easy to use.

Shopping list included with the selected meals would be great in addition to being able to select our own meals !

This is the single most important feature Trainerize could offer in my opinion. I honestly thought it was already a feature when I signed up and exactly the way I planned on using Trainerize for my nutrition coaching clients. I have my own library of thousands of recipes, all suited for specific client goals. They pay me largely based on this specific application of meals / nutrition requirements based on their own individual needs. Without being able to add my own recipes / meals to the smart meal planner, I don't really see much value in Trainerize, from a nutrition coaching standpoint. When I first found out that the smart meal planner only consisted of a pre-built, generic library of meals I was shocked and disappointed. I'm keeping my Trainerize account open for the time being in hopes that we will have the ability to include our own meals in the smart meal planner soon, but I'm also exploring other solutions in the mean time. If all else fails, I'll build my own app that does exactly that. I really hope Trainerize comes through on this one. I'd love to stay with them & have the app work exactly as I need it to.

Seems like this would be a no brainer. This would definitely be very helpful. I have no idea how the food app works😵‍💫

Yes, this should be a no brainer. If we can add our own meals than we should be able to customise the meal plans we give our clients. This should be Priority #1

Need this ASAP! Why create the meals if I can't add them to my client's meal plans?

If there could be a way to allow this along with a Shopping list generated by the meals we enter that would be amazing. I have studied nutrition and proper dieting, which is why my clients come to me. They want custom meal plans that I design and plan out for them. The pdf option works, but the way the custom planning is set up would be a massive game changer and help a lot!

Yes this would be amazing to have our own recipes in the meal plan so we can assign them to clients so they can eat a full day of eating of our food instead of uploading a pdf file! Its so time consuming making meal plans onto a pdf and would be so much more helpful with everything on the app. Especially for us who are both personal trainers & nutritionists. This is definitely a must ASAP! Was quite disappointed when I signed up as I thought it was included.

Hello,
This feature needs to work in the same way like how we build a custom workout plan and assign it to a client, a custom diet plan in other words.
Right now the way it works is I give the calories per day and it auto assigns couple of meals, only default ones. But it would be great if it could be customised.
Thanks

Being able to have the ability to build out a meal plan with our own custom meals in the smart meal planner, like you can in the workout builder and have the client be able to substitute meals if they'd like would be ideal. I don't need the auto generated meal plans but maybe giving the clients the ability to build out their own meal plan within their set calorie/macro targets would be helpful. Being able to turn off the trainerize meals would be a nice option too.

I see this as being super helpful to offer the library of meals in this section. It doesn't need to fit within the smart meal planner system. Most of my clients don't need a really specific plan.

Personally, just being able to share some recommended breakfasts, lunches, and dinners with clients from my own meals or the Trainerize library in this section would be enough.

We need to be able to build out custom meal plans just like we can for workouts. We need to be able to turn off the trainerize meal database and build out specific plans for the clients including supplements. We use a dietitian to build out client plans and we are unable to use the smart meal planner as it's too random with generating meal options. Plus 9/10 of our clients are not cooking meals - We need to be able to show them meal options compatible with their lifestyle (ie custom database)

The simplest way of setting it up would be to just be able to add our custom meals into the client's generated meal plan. Just that feature would be super useful.
I agree with Laura and Nikki.

Adding a feature to edit a meal in the client's meal plan to fit the client's macros would be useful as well or having the option for the app to automatically fit the client's preselected macros for the custom meal.

The meals from trainerize are unrealistic for most of my clients. I’d like the option to be able to find my meal ideas when generating meal plans, I am from Australia and the American options for the meal plans make my programs look generic or not custom. I don’t mind so much about carbs & fats targets as these intakes can vary daily for my clients. But if we could create a meal plans from our own meals to meet the calories & protein needs (being able to see the total carbs & fats too so we can swap meals out if needed) that would be perfect! - basically agree with Laura Searle... I am holding off so many things with my business model, to me this is the MOST important update trainerize could do with nutrition. We are all different coaches with different niches and we NEED our own nutrition style to come through making us individual and not generic. Absolutely love the new updates to the tracking though, so helpful.

The meals from trainerize are too complicated and ‘clean’ it’s too unrealistic for most of my clients even I wouldn’t eat half the meals so I have to write meal plans on a pdf for them. I’d like the option to be able to find my meal ideas when generating meal plans. I don’t mind so much about carbs & fats targets as these intakes can vary daily for my clients. But if we could create a meal plan from our own meals to meet the calories & protein needs (being able to see the total carbs & fats too so we can swap meals out if needed) that would be perfect!

I was hoping we could add our own meals, put in our own height weight, and track ourselves alongside our clients so that we could see our progress as well.
