How It Works

Our AI powered meal planning tool takes minutes to generate and is sent after your appointment with one of our expert Registered Dietitian Nutritionists or Certified Nutrition Specialists.

Marjorie Nolan Cohn, MS, RD, LDN, CEDS-S, Clinical Director of Berry Street explains, "Our meal planning feature takes the counting of calories/grams/macros out of your day, all while still ensuring meals are well-balanced and meet nutritional requirements."

She further says, “Your provider will work with you to customize your menu on a deeper level by focusing on long-term realistic steps rather than all-or-nothing approach, which is most often a set up for failure. The best part is your RD is here to support you with accountability and guidance every step of the way as you work toward your health and wellness goals.”

Here’s what clients can expect:

• A week long meal plan, with offerings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks

• Recipes with step-by-step instructions on how to prepare each meal

• Grocery needs

Your Registered Dietitian can customize your meal plan based on your:

• Dietary restrictions and allergies

• Food preferences

• Calorie and macronutrient requirements, set by your Registered Dietitian

• Household considerations

• Other guidance your provider finds appropriate to include

How You Can Leverage Meal Plans

Your Berry Street Registered Dietitian will help you craft a meal plan that combines your preferences alongside your goals - making it the perfect combination to stay consistent in your nutrition habits. 

Discuss any of the following with your dietitian so he or she can customize your meal plan best:

• Your budget for your weekly groceries 

• The grocery stores you prefer shopping at (if you love Trader Joe’s frozen meals, your meal plan can accommodate that!) 

• Favorite flavors or cuisines

• Your favorite and least favorite foods 

• Repeating meals versus new recipes daily

• How many servings you need of a meal for family members or other loved ones (or their food restrictions) 

• Your preference for time spent cooking: quick and easy meals versus more involved recipes

Changing habits can be hard. But with highly personalized meal plans, you can more easily make the changes necessary to achieve your nutrition goals. 

Conclusion
