Hi @cbognet, is there a way to see an overview of the nutrition for each day in my meal queue? These recipes look great but I want to make sure I'm getting my macros. Thanks, this looks amazing!

@scottrepreneur Hey Scott - to see nutritional info for any specific meal, you can click the [i] on the meal in your queue. Once you checkout and our algorithms generate your first menu, you'll get an overview of nutritional info for that menu as well. We can always tweak things if it's not working by increasing portion sizes, etc.

@cbognet Also, it really wants me to like sweet potatoes for some reason and I just can't agree with that lol.
Christina Bognet
@scottrepreneur : ) You can remove sweet potatoes from your menu easily at platejoy.com/personalization (just search for the ingredient in the question that asks about exclusions).

Platejoy is awesome! It has changed my lifestyle dramatically for the better. I've lost 20 lbs since joining 10 weeks ago. This is all with almost no exercise. I'm just no getting ready to start lifting weights and all I have to do is change my preferences in platejoy to increase my calories and protein. Platejoy produces a grocery list and the option for delivery (totally worth it if you are busy that day). Last comment, the name platejoy is perfect. Since joining I have learned to enjoy cooking and eating healthy so it's no longer a chore.

I got PlateJoy after I cooked the following in two weeks in a row: Chicken Fajitas, Beef Tacos, Spaghetti Bolognese, Chicken Fajitas, Takeout, Takeout, Takeout. I came to terms with the fact that I'm a lazy cook who could use a little help. Then I found the app that everyone thinks should exist: the app that just tells you what your going to eat, what you need to buy to eat it, and how to cook it. It didn't exist before, but now it does: PlateJoy. PlateJoy is not a food delivery service. PlateJoy is not training wheels for people who don't know a cutting board from a cubano. PlateJoy is not dozens of tiny plastic packets of sugar and herbs packed in a distribution center and drop shipped to your house wrapped in ice cubes. PlateJoy is a way for you to do something you already wanted to do: cook healthy meals every night with ingredients you like from the store down the street. Minimal thinking, good food, easy to tweak if you want, and very low food waste. BTW: my meals this week: Open-faced prosciutto, egg and arugula sandwich, Thai-style tilapia with red curry sweet potatoes, and Soba noodle stir-fry with green beans and egg. Oh and Prosciutto-wrapped dates.

@kennystoltz Oh, thank you SO much, Kenny! You're a doll. Great at giving UX feedback and at writing fun reviews - why are we surprised? :)

Way to go guys, love the nutritional aspect of this!
Christina Bognet
@tommytcchan Thanks so much, Tommy! Would love to have you give it a try.

Love the product/service, but I'm not going to pay for something before trying it. Especially something as hit/miss as meal recommendations

I have been using PlateJoy since September 2015 and I plan on staying for a long time! The program is easy to use, and makes my grocery shopping and meal planning a breeze. Before Platejoy, I would easily spend 1-2 hours looking up recipes for my weekly meal planning. With PlateJoy, I am able to create a well balanced meal plan for a week and a grocery list is automatically generated at the click of a button! A HUGE life saver! PlateJoy also has me trying crazy new vegetables and foods I would never have thought to cook by myself, and it has been a great experience so far! If you want a program that makes healthy meal planning and grocery shopping an easy 30 second task, then PlateJoy is for you.

I've been using platejoy since I went back to work after maternity leave in January. The reason why I chose platejoy to begin with was because I just did not have time each week to choose a variety of healthy easy recipes and then make a shopping list. At first I really appreciated the effort it saved and I appreciated the new healthy recipes (and exciting ingredients!) I was being exposed to, but I thought the shopping list function could have been improved. Well, I communicated with the platejoy people and the shopping list is now amazing! I just click click click my staples and add them to their shopping list and can check off items right from the app. Platejoy is great, but they are also committed to becoming better and better. I am really happy that I discovered platejoy and i have been recommending it to my friends.

I've been using Platejoy for a while now and love it. Being single and always cooking for myself, many times it's hard to find decent meals where there is only one or two servings. Or I'll buy too much of something and have to throw stuff away. Platejoy has fixed all that and made it easy to change up my meals yet still cook for just me. They are constantly adding new features and asking us users what they should add next, I think that's one of the best parts about Platejoy. You can see they are listening to their users. Thank you!

There are quite a few things I like about platejoy. But I LOVE that it's so easy to customize. We have multiple food restrictions which make it challenging to find variety. Platejoy has made my life easier and our meals better! I also love their customer service. Someone else said it-and it's true-they always respond quickly and it's obvious they care and are able to help. No robots there!

I've been using PlateJoy for almost 6 months. It's exactly what I needed for those weeks I didn't want to sit down and find recipes for different meals. I like a lot of variety and this has allowed me to try different meal plans (paleo, clean eating) while still reaching my weight-loss goal for me and my fiance.
