eFit builds a personalized meal plan for you with AI. Answer a short set of questions about how you like to eat, and the planner writes a full day of meals matched to your goals, your activity level, and your budget.
Opening the Meal Planner
- Log in and open your Dashboard
- Choose Custom Programs, then Meal Planning, or go straight to the Meal Planner
The Custom Programs page also holds your Weight Training and Cardiovascular programs, so you can build all three in one place.
Tell the Planner How You Eat
The Plan Settings form asks seven quick questions:
- Dietary restrictions: Vegan, Vegetarian, Mediterranean, Paleo, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Low-carb, Low-fat, or None. Hold Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) to select more than one.
- Health goal: Weight loss, Muscle gain, or Improved overall health
- Activity level: Sedentary, Moderate, or Active
- Favorite foods: the food groups you want your meals built around
- Meals per day: 1 to 6
- Snacks: include them or leave them out
- Weekly budget: so the shopping list fits what you can actually spend
The planner also estimates your daily calorie needs from the height, weight, age, and sex in your eFit profile, so portions are sized for your body.
