Are you looking for tasty recipes that use real food to help you lose weight and reach your health goals? Then look no further than MyNetDiary’s Premium Recipes collection. No matter your eating plan or preferences, the nutritious options abound!

Dietitian-approved recipes

Get cooking with dietitian-approved, in-app recipes that feature real food

Our team of in-house dietitians designed Premium Recipes with your health in mind. You will find whole-food-based recipes that meet various eating preferences and nutrition plans.

You can open Premium Recipes by navigating to the “Coach” tab, then “Premium Recipes & Meals.” You can also access this feature while logging foods by selecting the tab with the chef hat icon.

At a glance, you'll see the calories/serving, serving count per recipe, prep time required, and cooking time needed. Enjoy eating healthy, but don't have time to spend hours in the kitchen? The majority of the recipes take 20 minutes or less to prepare, all with real food!

The robust search function makes it easy to sort recipes based on your preferences

Once you tap "Browse Categories," robust filtering lets you search for recipes by meal type, cooking style, course, diet type, etc., as well as those containing or excluding specific ingredients. That's super convenient when you only have chicken handy or must avoid certain allergens.

Modify any recipe to meet your needs

Perhaps you are out of an ingredient or want a slightly different flavor profile in your finished product. No worries! Customizing is easy. When you swap out a few ingredients, the app automatically recalculates nutritional content. Just follow these steps to customize an existing recipe:

  1. Open the Premium recipe you want to customize.
  2. Tap “Copy & Customize” to make changes.
  3. Rename the modified recipe, add or remove ingredients, alter cooking instructions, etc.

Now, where did that customized recipe go?

Once you've customized a Premium Recipe, it is saved among your custom recipes. The custom recipes tab appears in food searches and logging. Scroll across and tap the bowl and spoon icon. You will now see the “Recipes” screen containing a list of your customized recipes.

Tip: The original Premium Recipe will still appear in Premium Recipes if you want to use or view it again.

Calories and nutrients at your fingertips

All Premium Recipes have been thoroughly analyzed for calorie, macronutrient, and micronutrient composition. Total servings per recipe appear in the recipe overview. Nutrition information is listed per serving. Tap on "Food Label" to view the calories, macros, and micronutrients (such as iron, potassium, etc.) per serving, and a food label will appear. See the nutrition label for the Taos Tortilla Soup recipe below.

Share "real food" recipes with a friend

There are several ways to share these recipes featuring real food with family and friends. To share a recipe via email, text, link, or PDF, tap "Share" while the recipe is on screen.

Premium Menus and Premium Meals support healthy cooking

Premium Menus

Additionally, you may be interested in the dietitian-designed Premium Menus feature. Our dietitians have organized recipes using real food into nutritious, calorie-controlled meal combinations, featuring complementary flavors and textures for the most appetizing dining experience. Select from calorie-controlled, low-carb, keto, high-protein, Mediterranean, or DASH menu plans. These menus let you enjoy nutrient-dense food while reducing the stress of throwing something together at the last minute.

Easily access meal ideas by selecting “Premium Menus” under the “Coach” tab.

Premium Meals

The Premium Meals feature offers dietitian-approved balanced meals and snacks. Filter your search by main ingredient or exclusion, or scroll through the meal photos to find inspiration.

Happy cooking!
