Plan
Meals shaped by the training week, not a flat daily total. Higher carbs land on the high-output days. Recovery foods sit next to the harder sessions.
Training meal plan app · For athletes
A training meal plan app built around your week
Hard days, easy days, rest days, planned separately. Mero plans the meals, groceries, prep workflow, and daily checklist around your training calendar, not a flat daily target. Carbs land where they’re needed. Recovery sits next to the hard sessions. The plan tunes itself each Sunday.
Why a flat target stops working
“Wednesday is a rest day.
Why is my app still asking for the same 350g of carbs?”
Most macro apps treat every day the same. One total, applied flat. That works when training is steady. It stops working the second your week is actually shaped: a hard session Monday, an easy day Wednesday, an early AM session Thursday, a long weekend session Saturday. The food layer has to match the training layer.
The training calendar is the input
The plan responds to the week. It doesn’t paste the same one over it.
Mero asks for your training week at onboarding. Hard days run higher carbs and more total calories (if the goal calls for it). Recovery days hold protein, redistribute the carbs, and tilt toward vegetables. Rest days settle. AM sessions get a different pre/post structure than PM sessions. The plan rebuilds when the week changes.
- ✓Hard days. Higher-carb meals bracket the session. Planned calories rise on hard days when the goal calls for it.
- ✓Easy and rest days. Protein steady. Carbs settle and shift toward vegetables and slower-burning starches.
- ✓AM vs PM training. A morning session gets a different pre/post structure than a 6 PM one. Same total, different timing.
- ✓More than one session in a day. You can place both on the same day. Mero plans the day as a whole rather than fueling each session separately.
- ✓Lighter weeks. Carbs and calories proportionally drop. Protein holds. Same shape, lower volume.

What the app builds
Plan, grocery, prep, today, tied to your training week.
2
Grocery
One aisle-grouped list, quantities reconciled across recipes, ready Sunday. The list reflects the training shape of the week.
3
Prep
A Sunday prep workflow built from reviewed recipe batches with guided cooking steps in Kitchen Mode.
4
Today
A daily view with the day’s training context built in. Tap meals as you eat. See where you stand against the day’s targets without a barcode hunt.
Tracker vs planner
A tracker tells you what happened.
A planner tells you what to do.
Both have a place. A tracker is the right tool for retrospective logging. A training-aware planner is the right tool when the week is shaped and you want it designed up front.
A macro tracker
- Tells you what you ate, after the meal.
- Treats every day as the same daily total.
- Resets to zero each Monday.
- Leaves planning and prep to you.
A training meal plan app (Mero)
- Tells you what to eat, before the week starts.
- Shapes carbs and calories around your training calendar.
- Carries last week’s learning into next week.
- Generates the grocery list and Sunday prep workflow.
Built for
Athletes with a real training schedule and a week that isn’t flat.
- ✓Endurance with structure. Hard, easy, rest. The food layer matches the training layer.
- ✓Strength athletes. Mark the heavier days hard and the lighter ones easy or rest, and the next draft plans around them.
- ✓Hybrid athletes. An early AM session, a PM session, a longer weekend day. You can place more than one session on a day; Mero plans the day as a whole rather than fueling each session separately.
- ✓Macro-aware athletes. You know your target. You want a planner that takes the training shape into account.
FAQ
Questions about training-aware planning.
How does carb placement work across a training day?
The day is split around the session. A pre-training block sets up the work; a post-training block covers recovery; the rest is distributed across remaining meals. AM and PM training get different shapes: same daily total, different timing.
What counts as a hard day versus a recovery day?
You mark each day at onboarding as hard, easy, or rest, and set Early AM, AM, or PM for training days. Those day types shape the planned calorie and macro targets Mero generates for the week.
What if I have two sessions in one day?
You can place more than one session on the same day. Mero does not have a dedicated two-a-day planning flow and does not generate a separate fueling block for each session; it plans the day as a whole and keeps both sessions in the chronological Today view.
Does the plan adjust if a session moves during the week?
Yes. Drop the session into a different slot and Today keeps it in chronological context; your accepted meals and shop stay fixed. The grocery list flags any ingredient swaps you need to pick up; the prep workflow stays intact.
Can I sync from Strava, TrainingPeaks, or a coach’s calendar?
Sync integrations aren’t in the first release. Manual training entry is the default. Mero does not connect to an external calendar; you set your training week in the app.
How do I plan a lighter training week?
Yes. Mark the lighter days easy or rest, and the next draft plans those days accordingly. Set the week’s training type and the plan responds.
Which platforms are supported?
Mero is iPhone-only for the initial U.S. release. Android is not currently available.
