Meal planning software for dietitians and nutritionists
NutriCRM lets you build a client's week of meals in one grid, with nutrition totals calculated as you go, and send the plan straight to their phone. It is made for dietitians, nutritionists and clinics who build personalised plans for every client and want them connected to the rest of the client record.
No credit card required. 7-day free trial.
What the meal planner does
Built to replace the Word document or spreadsheet most practices start with, without losing the control you have over every meal.
7-day meal grid
Lay out breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for every day of the week in one view. Rename or re-time meal rows to match how your client actually eats.
Reusable templates
Save a plan as a template for the cases you see often, such as weight loss, PCOS or diabetes, then adapt it for each new client instead of starting from a blank page.
Food database and custom foods
Search the food database while you build, and add your own foods with their nutrition data when a client eats something that is not listed.
Automatic nutrition totals
Calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre update per meal and per day as you add or change foods, so you can check the plan against the target as you go.
Recipes with nutrition built in
Build a recipe once with ingredients, servings, prep and cook time, and its nutrition is calculated. Reuse it across plans and filter by diet type: vegetarian, vegan, eggetarian or non-vegetarian.
Delivered to the client app
Plans go to the client app (your own branded app on higher plans) instead of a file in a chat thread. Export a PDF when a client still wants one.
How a plan gets built
Start from the client or a template
Open the client record, which already holds goals, medical conditions, allergies and dietary preference, then start blank or from one of your templates.
Fill the 7-day grid
Add foods and recipes to each meal slot. Scale portions and swap items without rebuilding the day.
Check the numbers
Calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre total up per meal and per day, so you can adjust before the client ever sees the plan.
Deliver and follow up
Send the plan to the client app or export a PDF. As the client logs weight and other vitals, review progress and update the plan.
Meal planning connected to the rest of the practice
Most meal planning tools stop at the plan. In NutriCRM the plan sits inside the client record, next to the enquiry that brought the client in, their follow-up sessions, their subscription and their progress. That is what our client management for nutritionists is built around, and it means you are not copying details between a planner, a spreadsheet and a payments app.
What NutriCRM does not do: it does not generate meal plans with AI, and its recipe library is smaller than meal-planning specialists. If you want a large ready-made recipe catalogue or an AI first draft, look at the tools below. If you are still building plans by hand, our guides on a 7-day meal plan template and creating a diet plan faster are a good place to start. See every capability on the features page.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best meal planning software for dietitians?
It depends on what you need beyond the plan itself. That Clean Life has the largest recipe library and condition templates and is built around meal plans. NutriAdmin connects several national food databases and offers an AI meal plan generator. Nutrium is available in several languages and includes video calls. NutriCRM fits practices that want meal planning in the same place as leads, follow-ups, payments and a branded client app.
What software do dietitians use for meal planning?
Many still use Word, Excel or Google Sheets. Dedicated tools such as That Clean Life focus only on meal plans, while practice platforms such as Practice Better, Nutrium, NutriAdmin and NutriCRM combine meal planning with client records, scheduling and billing to different degrees.
Can ChatGPT or AI create a meal plan?
AI tools can draft a meal plan quickly, but the draft still needs a qualified professional to check it against the client’s medical history, medications, allergies and preferences. NutriCRM does not generate meal plans with AI. You build each plan in the 7-day grid, and the nutrition totals are calculated as you go.
Is there free meal planning software for dietitians?
Spreadsheets and document templates are free, and some tools offer limited free tiers or trials. NutriCRM does not have a free plan; it has a 7-day free trial with no card required, and pricing is quoted on a short demo.
Can clients see their meal plan on their phone?
Yes. Plans you build in NutriCRM appear in the client mobile app, where clients can also log vitals such as weight. On higher plans the app is published under your own practice name and logo. You can also export any plan as a PDF.
Can I adjust a plan based on a client’s progress?
Yes. Each plan is linked to the client record, so you can see vitals such as weight, BMI, blood pressure and blood glucose over time and edit the plan or swap in a different template when progress stalls.
