MyFitnessPal Debuts Meal Planner Tool Featuring Recipes Inspired by Sarah Michelle Gellar

New innovative tool simplifies healthy eating with personalized meal plans, now available for Premium+ members

NEW YORK, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MyFitnessPal today announces Meal Planner, a new tool designed to make healthy eating easier, smarter, and more delicious. The launch comes on the heels of a recent survey¹ conducted by the brand which found that the top reasons people meal plan are to save time (62%), eat healthier (59%), and save money (58%). Meal Planner addresses these needs by delivering customized, balanced meal plans that make hitting nutrition goals easy, while cutting down on the time spent planning.

As part of the launch, the world's no. 1 food and nutrition tracking app has partnered with acclaimed actress, author, and mom, Sarah Michelle Gellar. "As a busy mom of two and a diehard foodie, I know how daunting and exhausting it can be to face the dreaded question, 'What's for dinner?'",  says Sarah. "That's why I love MyFitnessPal's Meal Planner tool—it not only saves me time and takes the stress out of figuring out dinner, but also provides personalized, creative inspiration in a practical way. It makes it so much easier to put healthy, delicious meals on the table and leaves me with more quality time to spend with my family."

From low-carb to flexitarian and Mediterranean to vegetarian, Meal Planner has something for every taste and dietary approach. Members simply input their goals, budget, dietary preferences, and household size to receive a personalized, weekly meal plan with a grocery list for easy shopping. Meals from the plan can be logged directly into MyFitnessPal, helping users stay on track towards their goals. Over 1500  flavorful recipes are available, including exclusive contributions from Sarah, such as a Buddha Bowl, Blueberry Almond Overnight Oats, and Southwest Turkey Zucchini Boats.

"Planning meals doesn't have to be stressful. With Meal Planner, we're making it easy for people to enjoy tasty, balanced meals that fit their goals and lifestyle–especially amid rising food costs and an increasingly fast-paced world," said Mike Fisher, CEO of MyFitnessPal. "By simplifying the meal planning process, we aim to help members make the most of their time, stick to their budget, and stay on track with their health goals."

Meal Planner is now available in the MyFitnessPal app through Premium+, an enhanced premium membership available for $99.99 annually, offering easy, delicious meal planning solutions tailored to diverse goals and budgets across the United States.
