Get Your Daily Dozen Meal Plan

As you may know, I’m a huge fan of nutritionfacts.org! Dr. Michael Greger has done an incredible job of educating people about the health benefits of a whole food plant-based diet and the science behind it. 

You’ve probably heard of his guidelines. Here is a chart of what he recommends call The Daily Dozen. Maybe you’ve seen my post that includes a suggestion to use The Daily Dozen guidelines for meal planning, Beginner’s Guide to Easy Plant-Based Vegan Meal Planning.

Meal Planner

Basically, it’s a checklist of the types of plant-based whole foods to eat every day for optimal health and longevity. Every recommendation is backed by strong science. Here’s what Dr. Greger has to say about The Daily Dozen.

The Scientific Meal Planner

A New Meal Planning Tool to
Make it Easy

Squeezing all these different categories of food into each day can be tough and that’s why I’m so excited to tell you about a new tool that makes it easy! 

It’s called The Scientific Meal Planner and it generates meal plans that try to satisfy The Daily Dozen every day of the plan! You may have seen some of The Daily Dozen challenge videos where people try to do this themselves… It’s tough! With The Scientific Meal Planner, all of that planning is on autopilot and you can nail an ideally balanced diet with a lot less effort.

I don’t recommend products I don’t believe in – but The Scientific Meal Planner and I are on the same page! I’ve partnered with them and so you’ll see my recipes in there amongst other recipe creators who all believe in this approach to evidence-based meal planning.

The Scientific Meal Planner Pricing

You’ll get a 14-day free trial when you join with a credit card and have access to convenient features to make meal planning easy. Here’s how the pricing breaks down:

You can join monthly for $8.99/month.

Or, you can join yearly for $59.88 starting July 8th.

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

If you have concerns if this is a good fit for you, keep in mind that there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Different Modes for Different Needs

The great thing about The Scientific Meal Planner is that it works for all types of people.

  • Are you into meal prepping for the week? There’s a mode for that.
  • Prefer to cook dinner every evening and eat the leftovers for lunch the next day? There’s a mode for that.
  • Cooking for one or a family of four? It scales recipes appropriately. Don’t have a ton of time to cook? Use the time controls to ensure every recipe takes 30 minutes or less.
  • Have specific calorie goals? Set a calorie range that meets your needs.
  • Want the same breakfast every day? There’s an option for that.

It’ll generate meal plans that fit your preferences while making sure each day covers a minimum of 75% of The Daily Dozen servings.

How to Make a Meal Plan

Making a plan is simple. Just choose the meal plan mode, the number of people it’s for, the number of days it should cover, whether you want the same breakfast every day, whether you want snacks, how long the recipes should take, and your desired calorie range. Hit generate, and it’ll build you a plan within a few seconds. Once it’s done, you’ll be able to see how each day of the plan breaks down in terms of nutrition and The Daily Dozen.

From there you can check out the recipes and swap out any you don’t like. You can print out the meal plan for your fridge, see the shopping list, and even share the plan with your friends. You can also favorite recipes you enjoyed to keep track of them for next time.

Healthy diets only work if you consistently follow them, and meal planning can help you commit to following through! The Scientific Meal Planner includes a reminder system to help you keep yourself on track. If you’d like, you can set it up to text you once a week at a certain time to remind you to make a healthy meal plan and stick with it.

There are other healthy meal planning services out there, but what makes The Scientific Meal Planner special is its evidence-based approach to meal plan construction. Instead of just random healthy recipes, it combines them in a way such that every day of the plan satisfies The Daily Dozen. It’s a passion project created by one guy – Dan Burnette – and his goal is to keep on top of the latest science, incorporating the best available evidence into the meal planning algorithm.
