Questions

Is CartCoach a free Mealime alternative?

Yes. CartCoach is a free, no-account weekly meal planner. Mealime shuts down October 21, 2026; CartCoach builds a real-food week with budget and protein targets, one prep block, and an aisle-sorted grocery list in your browser.

Is CartCoach free and does it need an account?

Yes, it's free and there is no account. CartCoach runs in your browser and saves your week on your device.

What is Steven's method?

Real food, no seed oils, no mayo, protein at every meal, and one weekly prep block: marinate and freeze proteins in single-meal bags, let the rice cooker do the carbs, and pull from the freezer all week.

Can CartCoach plan to a grocery budget and protein goal?

Yes. Pick Tight, Normal or Flexible, or enter a weekly dollar budget, plus optional daily protein and calorie targets. CartCoach swaps meals to fit the budget and tunes portions toward your targets, and tells you when it can't.

How does CartCoach handle allergies?

Allergies are hard rules: meals containing them are never planned, and anything you add yourself is flagged. Allergy checks are a helper, not a guarantee, so always read labels.

What do I get when I plan my week?

Breakfast, lunch and dinner for the days you pick, per-meal macros, optional leftovers for lunch, one prep block, one shopping list sorted by aisle with estimated prices, cook mode with photos, and a printable or PDF copy.
