How it works

Three taps. That's the whole job.

No logging, no forms after day one — and whenever you fancy something specific, you can just ask. Here's exactly what happens, start to finish, with real examples throughout.

1 Point

Photograph — or tell us — what's in your fridge

Fridge, cupboards, freezer. Send a photo on WhatsApp, or type a quick list on WhatsApp or email — either works.

Ideas come back in minutes

Quick options on WhatsApp — and the full cooking instructions land in your email at the same time, so nothing gets lost in the chat.

Cook from your week's email

Supermarket offers

The cheap stuff, found for you.

Eating well shouldn't cost more. Message your coach one word — OFFERS — and a dated, food-only list of offers from the supermarkets we hold current offers for (so far Aldi, Asda and Morrisons) lands in your inbox. If our list is more than a week old, your coach says so rather than sending you old prices.

  • 1
    One word, one emailWhatsApp "OFFERS" and the list arrives — nothing to download, nothing to search.
  • 2
    Food onlyNo household, toiletries or drink promotions mixed in — just what you can eat.
  • 3
    Always datedEvery list says exactly when it's from, so nobody shops off a stale price.

Prices change fast and vary by store, so always check in-app or in-store before you buy. MyPlatePrep isn't affiliated with any retailer.

What lands in your inbox

Went off plan? Not a problem

Tell us what you actually had — or just show us

Type it out, with your end-of-day burn from your watch if you've got one, and it's logged with an estimated breakdown. Work from the structured plan, or take every day as it comes — both are proper ways to use your coach, because a guide you'll actually stick to beats a strict diet you won't.

Illustrative example — estimates based on what you tell us

Prefer photos to typing?

Show us instead

Point your camera at the plate and send it on WhatsApp — no description needed. Your coach reads it back to confirm ("that looks like grilled salmon, new potatoes, asparagus and broccoli — have I got that right?"), you confirm or correct it, and it's logged with an estimated breakdown: calories, protein, carbs, fat, sugar — plus fibre, saturated fat and salt.

One coach, two doors

Email or WhatsApp. Same coach either way.

Message your coach wherever suits you. There's nothing to download and no new account to make, because you already have both. Say something on one and the conversation carries on where it left off on the other — same plan, same memory, same allergies.

Email
WhatsApp

Illustrative example of the same conversation on both channels. You tell us your mobile number at sign-up and save the coach as a contact — that's the whole setup, nothing gets re-typed when you switch.

The sign-up, honestly

Getting in — and getting out

  1. Start your free trial

    No card, no checkout — the two-minute quiz is the whole sign-up, and your free week starts on the spot. Card details only come into it if you decide to keep your coach afterwards (payments handled by Stripe when you do — we never see card numbers).

  2. Two minutes of questions

    Straight after: your goal, your current eating, foods you love, foods you refuse, allergies, activity level, and a couple of health questions that keep you safe. That's the last form you'll ever fill in.

  3. Leave whenever you like

    No minimum term: email info@myplateprep.com any time and we'll cancel your subscription for you. No introductory rate that quietly jumps later — if the price ever has to change you'll get at least 30 days' email notice first.

Your first fortnight

Exactly what the trial looks like

  1. Day 0 — minutes after the quiz

    Welcome email with your calorie target and the answers you gave us played back — then, a few minutes later, your first week of meals and the shopping list by email.

  2. Day 1–3

    You message, it answers. Swaps, food questions, Fridge Rider rescues — the coach learns what your real week looks like.

  3. Day 7 — the honesty email

    Your free week in numbers — worked out from what you told your coach — with what it costs to keep (£9.99 a month) and the payment link. No card was ever taken, so if you do nothing, nothing happens and nothing charges. You decide with your eyes open.

  4. Day 8 onwards, if you stayed

    It just keeps running — a new week's plan whenever you ask for one, answers whenever you message, and you can cancel any time by emailing us.

Boundaries we keep

What we will and won't do

We will

Plan your meals, count your macros, adapt to your tastes and budget, build your shopping lists, answer food questions at any hour, and cheer you on.

We won't

Give medical advice, plan diets for medical conditions, pregnancy or under-18s, ever suggest crash-diet calories, or promise "a stone by summer". If anything you tell us needs a professional, we'll say so straight away and point you to your GP.

Ready when you are.
