Before you start

Your meal planning questions, answered.

See how the recipes, weekly plan and shopping list fit together before choosing your membership.

How does a weekly meal planner with a shopping list work?

Choose the meals you want to cook and set your servings. LeanMeals combines the same ingredients across your saved week into a shopping list. Where supermarket products are linked, the basket shows the full packs needed and their estimated cost. Start with our weekly meal planning guide or explore an example seven-day plan.

Can I see a meal plan before signing up?

Yes. You can browse our public recipe library and sample meal plans without creating an account. Sample weeks show real recipes, nutrition figures and combined ingredient quantities. Saving your own plan and using member tools requires an account with the relevant membership features.

Can I plan meals around calories and protein?

Recipes show estimated calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat per serving. You can compare meals before choosing them. Eligible Premium and Pro memberships can generate a seven-day plan around your saved targets. For ideas, explore the protein-focused sample week and our high protein meal planning guide. Targets and nutrition figures are estimates.

Does the Aldi shopping basket include every ingredient price?

It includes the prices of available supermarket products linked to the ingredients in your plan. Ingredients without a price are listed separately and excluded from the known-price subtotal. Your final shop may cost more, and a generated plan can exceed your selected budget. Prices use the product data saved in LeanMeals, so check current prices and availability with Aldi. Read our budget meal planning guide for the difference between ingredient cost and whole-pack spending.

Can I change servings or plan for leftovers?

Public recipe pages let you adjust the ingredient amounts for your selected servings. Saved-plan portion controls, household tools and batch features depend on your membership. Explore our guide to planning meals for a household and cook-and-repeat sample plan, then check the membership comparison for the tools you need.

Is LeanMeals a meal delivery service?

LeanMeals provides recipes and meal-planning tools. You buy your groceries and cook the meals yourself. Membership prices cover access to the relevant tools; supermarket groceries are bought separately. LeanMeals is independent of Aldi and does not take grocery orders on Aldi’s behalf.

Made for planning, shopping and cooking at home.

LeanMeals brings recipe nutrition, a saved weekly plan and food diary tools together. Recipe nutrition is estimated from ingredient quantities and stored nutrition data; brands, labels and portions can affect the figures. For recipe questions or help with your account, contact LeanMeals support.
