Plan
A 7-day meal plan generated from your targets and training calendar. Higher carbs land on high-output days. Recovery foods sit next to hard sessions. The weekly total still hits the goal.

Macro meal planning for athletes who train on a real schedule
A weekly meal plan, grocery list, prep workflow, and daily checklist — built around your training calendar. Mero turns your macro targets into a week of food you can actually run. Each Sunday it rebuilds the next plan using what you checked off and how the week went.
The gap a planner closes
“My macros are dialed. I still ended Wednesday
at the drive-through because I didn’t prep Sunday.”
Macro math is the easy part. Executing 21 meals across a training week — three of those days hard, two recovery, one rest, one long — is where most plans collapse. The work isn’t knowing the numbers. It’s knowing what to buy, what to cook, when, and what to do when Tuesday runs late.

How the planner works
Plan, grocery, prep, today, tune.
2
Grocery
One consolidated grocery list rolls out of the plan. Aisle-grouped, with quantities reconciled across recipes so you don’t buy three half-bags of spinach.
3
Prep
A Sunday prep workflow covers the meals that batch well, ordered to minimize oven cycles and active time. Single-serve meals stay on the daily list.
4
Today
A daily checklist of planned meals. Tap as you eat. Mero shows where you stand against the day’s targets without a barcode hunt or a blank food diary.
5
Tune
Sunday night, Mero rebuilds next week using what you actually checked off, what you skipped, and how the week went. The plan gets better as the data does.
Built for
Athletes who already know their macros and want a week that holds.
- ✓Macro-aware athletes. You know your target. You want a plan that does the meal-by-meal math for you and treats the training week as the unit.
- ✓Busy professionals who train. You don’t have an hour each evening to figure dinner out. You want Sunday-night clarity for the whole week.
- ✓Sunday meal-preppers. You already prep — you just want the plan, the grocery list, and the prep order generated for you instead of rebuilt every weekend.
- ✓People who’ve outgrown a tracker. Logging after the fact tells you what happened. A planner decides what happens before the week starts.
Macro tracker vs macro planner
A tracker tells you what happened.
A planner tells you what to do.
Both have a place. A tracker is the right tool when you want to log and react. A planner is the right tool when you want the week designed up front and the daily work compressed to checking off meals you already chose.
A macro tracker
- Tells you what you ate after the meal.
- Resets to zero every Monday morning.
- Leaves planning, shopping, and prep to you.
- Optimizes for the moment, not the week.
A macro planner (Mero)
- Tells you what to eat before the week starts.
- Carries last week’s learning into next week.
- Generates the grocery list and the prep workflow.
- Plans around your training, not a flat daily target.
FAQ
Questions about the planner.
What does a macro meal planner do that a macro tracker doesn’t?
A tracker tells you what you ate after the fact. A planner builds the week before it starts: meals matched to your targets and training, a consolidated grocery list, a Sunday prep workflow, and a daily checklist. The week is the unit, not the meal.
How does the plan adjust for hard training days versus rest days?
Carb and calorie distribution shifts with your training calendar. Higher-output days carry more carbs (and more total calories if your goal calls for it). Recovery and rest days adjust accordingly. The weekly total still lands where it needs to — the daily curve isn’t flat.
Does it work for cutting, recomp, and building phases?
Yes. The plan is shaped by the goal you set at onboarding and the macro split that goes with it. When you change phase, Mero rebuilds the next week with the new targets.
Do I have to log everything I eat?
No. The default workflow is tapping planned meals as you eat them. Logging meals from scratch is optional, not how the day runs.
What happens if my training schedule changes mid-week?
Update the training week in Mero and the plan reshapes the carb and calorie distribution around the new schedule. The grocery list flags any swaps that need to happen.
How is the Sunday prep workflow generated?
From the plan and your prep preferences. Mero groups the batch-friendly meals into a Sunday workflow ordered to minimize oven cycles and active time. Single-serve meals stay on the daily checklist.
Can I bring in my own recipes?
Recipe import isn’t in the first release. The starting library covers the patterns most macro-aware athletes default to, with portion math handled per meal.
