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.

Critical

Any Updates on when this is going to change ? I need to put my own meals for my students , yours are great but i need mines ! please give some feedback

To be able to add recepies to the meal planner

this would be so useful if it worked this way

I upgraded thinking this would be a useful tool, but feel it's useless. You should be able to create more than a 3 day plan & be able to custom days idea not same amount of meal for each day for example a training day plan and non training day. There should be the basics in there I e a chocolate bar things that people each regularly not fancy recipes it's keep it basic

This essential the many of the recipes client will not even implement. They dont seem realistic and sustainable. Change this ASAP please.

This is ESSENTIAL. MUST be able to add in our own meals here!!!

Change asap!!!!

This is so critical. So many of the recipes available for the clients to choose from are complete non-sense and the calories and macros don't even align.

Ex. Tomato Soup with a Grilled Cheese...

Listed at 730 calories with 70 grams of protein?!?

On what planet?!?

If you're not gonna give us the option to create our own meals on here at least get the macros correct...

This needs to be implemented as soon as possible.

How come this hasn't been done yet? What are we creating meals for if we cant add them to clients plans????

Needs sorted indeed!

What's the point making custom meals when we can't give them to our clients!!

Totally agree with what you just commented. Some clients would like ideas on meals but not a meal plan yet they can only have one or the other. The function is right there! Sooo frustrating.

How is it there is a master meal library but we cant utilize it and drag and drop like the workouts??????????
