### "Foodzilla review as a personal trainer"

April 18, 2026

5.0

Great, and easy to use overall, been a real help with my business over the last year. It keeps on improving also as time goes on!

Pros

Good customer support, ease of use overall, can make quick recipes and recipe collections via pdf and your own branding.

Cons

Sometimes there is some glitches and it will delete all saved recipes or when changing portion sizes it wont update the ingrediant list properly.

### "The Smartest Meal Planning Platform for Coaches — My Favourite Software by Far!"

October 25, 2025

5.0

Even before launching my own branded app with clients, and while testing all the amazing features, has already changed how I work behind the scenes. It saves time, reduces overwhelm, and makes recipe and meal plan creation fun again. I can see why so many coaches rave about it — it’s thoughtfully designed, highly flexible, constantly improving, and backed by excellent support. I can’t wait to roll it out to clients under my Lean Plant-Based brand.

Pros

is easily the best meal planning and nutrition platform I’ve ever tested — clean, powerful, fast, and surprisingly intuitive. It's a keeper for me because I know it's what my clients want. While building my recipe library and meal plans, I’m blown away by how seamlessly organising, customising, and analysing everything feels. It’s a dream for data-driven coaches who care about detail and client experience. Customer support and tech support are also outstanding, so you feel like the team always has your back.

Cons

Honestly, nothing major so far. Every time I think "oh, I wish it could do this or that..." there's an update from the developers, and they've made it happen! Looking forward to more fitness and PT features as they roll out.

Reason for choosing Foodzilla

I chose over That Clean Life by Practice Better and MealGarden because Foodzilla is a much better value-for-money platform that offers a realistic price and a white-label, personalised, brandable app. I chose Foodzilla over TrueCoach and Trainerize because, although they are great for fitness tracking and offer custom app branding, they're expensive and not focused on nutrition or meal planning. My brand/niche is plant-based weight loss for women, and as we all know, you can't out-train a bad diet, so for me, a great value, brandable app focused on meal planning wins hands down, so I chose Foodzilla.

### "Dont pay for this app. Dont waste your money."

March 13, 2025

1.0

Extremely poor, very disappointed. When i was having issues customer service was fast to reply. But when resolving those issues their updates caused more problems. Too many problems to name. When asking for a refund as a small business who had to then pay another app to do the job for my clients they said "once they have processed a payment they cant refund it". As a small business owner i had to fork out $140 in 1 week to pay for apps. This is beyond disappointing for an app that is supposed to be specifically for Nutritionists and dietitians.

Pros

Nothing, the app is terribly designed. Clients had negative experiances with the app, customer service provided "updates" for the app that caused more problems then what it had before

Cons

Glitchy, app freezes, recipies are poorly written. Recipies had wrong measurments. Shopping list had wrong generation and clients would be meal prepping and already run out of chicken and had 3 more recipies with chicken. Clients couldnt edit their meal plans themselves, when the update was released to fix this problem, it did fix the problem but it also caused the rest of the app to then glitch every time you would press 2 buttons. It would shut down and youd have to restart. Food tracking is terrible. You would be better of getting the free my fitness pal.

### "AMAZING App!"

February 7, 2026

5.0

It is my FAVORITE nutrition planning app I’ve found so far! Great meal choices. Some things I love are the fact that your clients can download an app and you can see their food choices and you can message back and forth.

Pros

I absolutely love the meal planning! It has such a wide variety of food options and I love the 2 way chat between me and my clients!

Cons

I’m having trouble creating my own meals and finding products to add for snacks and things. I’d like this area to be more user friendly.

Trainerize, in my opinion, was more so fitness related and not nutrition coaching related. Trainerize had a very poor food library.

### "Making mealtimes easier with planning and inspiration"

November 16, 2025

4.0

I have enjoyed using for my clients and trying the recipes myself. It has a great range of foods and meals to choose from and flexible ways of tracking. The nutrition data has also been helpful for further tailoring client’s needs, without over-complicating it.

Pros

Customer support was great, issues were solved quickly and completely. The app takes a bit of getting used to for tracking (feedback from clients) but once they get going, it is quite user-friendly. As a coach, I love the ease of meal planning and inspiration from the recipes.

Cons

Some of the recipe data is incorrect and the auto changes when altering recipe serving sizes needs to be checked before publishing to clients. Some of the calorie output for custom meals has been inconsistent.

### "Great Nutrition App"

November 13, 2025

5.0

Overall a good experience, I would definitely recommend this software app to nutritionists, health coaches and personal trainers.

Pros

I like the simplicity of the app and easy lay out of the recipes and meals plans. Also how easy it is to personalize client plans.

Cons

In the past, sometimes the app has crashed but the team are so quick to fix any issues when contacted.

### "Foodzilla Review"

October 20, 2025

5.0

I am enjoying and I can feel that they are constantly improving and listening to customers. I am looking forward to seeing the new features of meal plan subscriptions etc.

Pros

Customer Support is amazing. I always get quick and helpful responses. The team is always there to help you when you need it.

Cons

One thing I have come across is when making recipes from data, the cup measurements are in 3 options 150g, 200g, 250g. It would be good to have these in the amount of grams that the food would actually weight if it were a cup. This would be easier to make recipes and easier for clients. eg. 1 cup of dry oats would be more like 90g not 250. But it is easier to say add 1 cup rather than 90 grams.

### "Great service and well designed software!"

November 18, 2025

4.0

offers incredible features at a great price. They have the best customer support I have ever experienced. You don't get some generic chatbot answer that you could have Googled. Detailed answers! I am liking the fact that it can integrate with Zapier as I am in the process of automating most of my processes and the team has been very informative and supportive. Their pricing is great even if you want to scale your business. The actual features are too many to mention and all work really well. Almost too many to keep track of, but the app allows you to exclude what your client doesn't need and individualize some features which I haven't seen on other apps. one of the very few that has a dynamic Grocery list that updates with weekly meal selections - a feature my clients specifically asked for as I help families and moms plan their meals and streamline grocery shopping for busy families. like any new software I had to get to know it at first and seemed overwhelming, but is now super easy to use. Thank you.

Pros

Fast and detailed customer care Great editable and customizable features Dynamic grocery lists that update with meal selections

Cons

Too many features so was a bit overwhelming in the beginning, but once I got to know the program it became easier to use.

### "Not a great service "

March 3, 2026

1.0

They charged me for 6 months before my free trial ended. Then refused to give me the entire amount back.

Pros

Compared to other similar platforms, I think it’s lacking and it’s very slow. Only thing good may be payment integration.

Cons

They took my money before the free trial ended and would not give me the full amount back. I’m not sure how it’s legal

### "Good for Australian Nutritionists"

April 14, 2026

4.0

Overall, it's a good program to assist with meal planning for clients and ensuring clients get the correct nutrient breakdowns required.

Pros

The client has access to their plans via the app and is able to manage their meal plan. The program is well priced for the features it delivers and easy to move between tiers. Customer support is quick if there's a question.

Cons

It takes time to learn how to navigate and can be time consuming until you get the hang of it. The client app can be overwhelming for those who are after simple meals.

I think is very well designed, just needs a few tweaks, as mentioned above.

Pros

I like the ability to customise meal plans and the pre-calculations completes with shopping lists.

Cons

I wish i could ass pictures of food brands i would like clients to purchase. I believe there needs to be the Australian food database added.

It has been a great experience so far. I haven't tried all the features but look forward to getting into it.

Pros

Making meal plans for clients is extremely easy. I love that you can automatically or manually swap meals. The database is huge and the images for each recipe look great.

Cons

I'd like it to show an overall macro count for each day when programming different foods for each day of the week rather than a weekly average.

### "Beware, not all that shines is gold."

October 15, 2024

2.0

Pros

I loved the aesthetics of and relatively easy learning curve. The features (if they worked) would be world class. And the price would have been good value...again if it worked.

Cons

The auto generator expected someone to have 4 times the total amount in a recipe for 5 people (totally 20 servings). A recipe was listed as having approx. half the kj as the same ingredients that I input in a separate recipe; showing that the calculations could be off as much as 50% which is very important in weight management. There were 4 instances of recipes in the 2000cal vegan meal plan that have non-vegan ingredients. That brings me to the PDF of the meal plan that I downloaded has the correct recipes and meal plan however the shopping list includes items that were removed including the non-vegan ingredients. It also displays only one recipe per meal e.g. breakfast, even if there are 2-3 meals/foods listed as to be consumed at that meal which is shown by '(+1)' or 2 etc. with ZERO indication as to what the other meal/food is supposed to be! I saved the template periodically so as to not lose my work (each time it said, 'saved successfully' as it's not easy to balance the macros then servings so I didn't want to lose it. Unfortunately when I opened it up to download the plan, meals that had been swapped out were back in their original position together with the new meal meaning that days with around 8,000kj were now 10-14,000kj. I then had to try and remember the game of Tetris I originally played to get everything all sorted and thought I'd finally gotten home safe when it downloaded successfully only to encounter the issue in points 4 & 5. {I haven't had that problem since as I save multiple times and copied it to a new plan} AND whilst they would respond within 24hrs previously (I have contacted them a handful of times) now that I have requested a refund I haven't heard from them after 3 emails in 12 days.

So far i have enjoyed my experience with but still exploring and trying to get to know the website. Whenever i have a question or concern i email the support team and they get back to me within an hour or two which is so helpful.

Pros

Lots of options for client and health professional within one website/app. Downloadable app for clients. So many meal plans and recipes that cater for all diverse diets.

Cons

The starter plan only allows up to 5 clients before having to upgrade to the next plan. It is not an Australian based website.

### "Recipes are amazing, presentation is beautiful & organized! "

December 12, 2024

5.0

Great!! At first I had started with the trial I didn't make use of it at all. My free trial had ended was charged due to not canceling, as they state you need to do so if you wish to not continue. I was exploring other Free trials in other programs simultaneously and thought I had found the one I was going to use. Since I had automatically gotten charged (due to me not canceling after free trial my fault), I figured I would use what I paid for. Oh meanwhile I had contact support and stated I wanted to cancel after my 3 months of paid subscription was done. Long story short I ended up LOVING the platform!! I am currently continuing to use and have actually upgraded my subscription!!

Pros

The presentation is of the plan to the client is well organized! My clients love it! The auto generated recipes give me a head start on competing the plans in a timely manner along with the easy ability to swap out anything needed.

Cons

The section where it calculates energy in and energy out. It would be great if I could add in the clients BMR and based off of the individuals BMR have it calculate the energy out based on a goal weight and activity level. Although I could be completely using this feature inappropriately as I have not watched any tutorials on it.

September 20, 2024

Overall the experience using has been fun! I really enjoy the app and it has been a great asset to my business. It is easy to use for both myself and my clients and I thoroughly enjoy every day I am able to utilise this within my business. My clients appreciate the ease of use and set up also so it really adds to their enjoyable experience with both my program and the Foodzilla app!

Pros

The ease of use for both myself and my clients. The customer service is exceptional and exceeds expectations. Your replies are prompt and personalised and that is very much appreciated.

Cons

There isn't much I would say I don't like about at all, the datatbase is broad and the app has inbuilt most of the services and tools I use already to help my clients. Not to mention each month the app has ample improvements and additions which is so needed and a must to grow in the health and fitness industry! :)

### "So Far so good"

June 18, 2023

5.0

So far so good, this seems to solve my business needs when it comes to delivering nutrition plans to clients. Although at first glance it seemed a bit messy it is actually quiet easy to work around and creating plans is simple.

Pros

I'm only on the free trial at the moment but all looks good. I like that you can create your own meal plan or auto generate one. Its critical to my business that i can easily produce nutrition plans and quickly delivers on that. For me this seems to combine many of the best features of its competition.

Cons

At an initial glance the main dashboard was a bit confusing, It seemed a bit messy to me, but i soon worked my way around it. Some of the food in the auto generated plans are a bit out there 'Spinach sandwich'

Reason for choosing Foodzilla

auto generate, more than one day of planning, price
