## Step 1: Download MealPrepPro

Get MealPrepPro free from the App Store on iPhone or iPad (iOS 15.1 or later). You can start without creating an account.

## Step 2: Tell it about your household

The short setup asks about household size, cooking experience, how much time you have to prep, dietary preferences and goals.

## Step 3: Build your week

Tap breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack slots to add recipes, or let the Premium meal plan generator fill the week from your calorie target, budget and leftover settings.

## Step 4: Check the nutrition

Every built-in recipe shows calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving. Premium adds a dashboard that tracks the week against your goals.

## Step 5: Shop from one list

MealPrepPro combines every ingredient into a shopping list grouped by store category. Check items off in the store, or send them to a Walmart cart with Premium in the US.

## Step 6: Prep and cook

Use cook mode for step-by-step instructions with timers and a screen that stays awake. Set a weekly reminder for your prep day.

## Step 7: Share and repeat

Share the plan with your family group, rate what you cooked, and reuse favorites next week.
