Who are macro meal plans best for?

Unlike our standard meal plans, which offer a more general approach to healthy eating, macro meal plans allow you to customise the precise balance of macronutrients—proteins, fats, and carbohydrates—based on your specific goals and needs.

This capability is especially valuable for competitive athletes, bodybuilders, and those undergoing rigorous training programs. These individuals often require unique macronutrient ratios to enhance performance, meet competition standards, or adjust nutrition as they progress through different training phases.

What Makes Macro Meal Plans Different?

While the majority of people will still benefit from the balanced and sustainable approach of our Lifestyle Plan, we believe that these custom macro plans will provide a game-changing tool for athletes. By addressing these unique nutritional needs, we can better support athlete’s performance, recovery, and overall success.

The most significant difference between our standard meal plans and macro meal plans is the level of customisation.


Main Meals Per Day:

Here you’ll find a drop down giving you two choices for how many main meals you have per day. Either 3 including breakfast or 4 including breakfast. Select your preference.

Set Recipe Limit Per Plan:

By ticking this box you will limit the maximum amount of recipes that will appear for your meal plan each week. This is particularly useful for people who struggle allocating time to cooking. You may prefer to batch cook meals or have a meal prep day.

Recipe Limit Per Plan:

The lower the number, the less variation you will have in your week’s meals, however the meal prep will be easier with a lower number. We suggest 6 is a good place to start.

Set Override Calories:

You will see your pre-calculated calorie target here. You also have the ability to enter a calorie target of your choice within the box if you’d like to override this value.

Final Words

Utilising these features gives you the flexibility to fine-tune your diet to support athletic performance, whether you are in a bulking, cutting, or maintenance phase of your training.

For example:

  • A bodybuilder preparing for competition might need a higher protein intake and lower fat or carb content.
  • An endurance athlete in the middle of training might require more carbohydrates to fuel long sessions.
  • A CrossFit competitor could benefit from a balanced ratio to support strength, endurance, and recovery.

With our macro meal plans, you can now customise your diet to the your specific athletic needs, creating an entirely tailored nutrition plan.

We hope this new level of detail will enhance not only performance but also the ability to meet specific, high-level goals.

Whether you're competing or just levelling up your training, our macro meal plans will help you get there.
