Every client is different, and the way you coach their nutrition needs to reflect that. 

Some clients need clear structure. Others need more flexibility. Most need a balance of both. But delivering that balance across different goals, preferences, and lifestyles isn’t always straightforward. 

Now, you have a new way to meet them there. 

Introducing the Flexible Meal Planner. 

It gives you more control over how you coach nutrition—so your plans can reflect your approach and your clients’ needs. Whether you’re working with calories, protein targets, or full macros, you can build structured custom plans that flex with your clients’ day-to-day lives.

How to Start Building Flexible Meal Plans Today 

Set Specific Calorie and Macro Targets for Every Client 

At the core of the Flexible Meal Planner is one simple shift: you decide the targets. You can now set specific calorie and macro goals based on each client’s needs—whether that’s calories only, calories and protein, or full macros. This gives you the flexibility to match your level of detail to each client, from simple guidance to more advanced strategies. As you build, you’ll see real-time progress toward those targets, so you can adjust on the fly and know the plan works before your client ever sees it. 

Build and Adjust Plans Faster 

Once your targets are set, building the plan is quick and intuitive. The meal plan builder is designed to feel natural to use—you can drag and drop meals into each part of the day, then adjust serving sizes to dial in calories and macros.  As you make changes, you’ll immediately see how they impact the overall plan with colored progress indicators, so you can adjust on the fly and keep everything aligned. 

To speed things up, you can filter meals by type (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks), calorie range, dietary needs, prep time or recipe source—so you can quickly find what fits without digging through your full library. 

TZ Tip! Use filters to quickly find meals that fit your plan, or build your own from scratch in Master Libraries → Meals, and it will show up in your Meal Plan Builder. 

Save, Reuse, and Stay Organized 

Once you’ve built a plan that works, you can use it again. Duplicate plans for the same client, or copy them across to other clients with similar goals—then make small adjustments where needed. This helps you deliver personalized nutrition without rebuilding every time. You can also rename meal plans, making it easier to stay organized across different clients, phases, and goals. You can also save plans as drafts while you’re working, so you can come back, refine, and publish when you’re ready. 

Share Plans Seamlessly with Clients 

When your plan is ready, you can publish it directly to your client’s app. They’ll see their full meal plan, track their progress, and stay aligned with the targets you’ve set—whether they’re logging in-app or using integrations like MyFitnessPal. 

And It Only Gets Better From Here! Here’s What’s Next 

Give Clients More Control – Soon, clients will be able to create and fully customize their own meal plans, with coach-controlled permissions, so they can adjust their plan day to day while staying aligned with their goals. 

Make Nutrition Simpler to Follow – Grocery lists will be automatically generated from meal plans, so clients can shop faster and stay prepared. 

Go Beyond Macros – You’ll be able to track micronutrients like fiber, sodium, and key vitamins—giving you more depth when working with advanced or specialized clients. 

Swap Meals with Confidence – Smart meal suggestions will help you (and your clients) make substitutions that still align with calorie and macro targets.
