Plate & Kettle Plate & Kettle

iPhone beta on TestFlight

Plan the week, shop it once, cook it all in one session.

Plate & Kettle picks every meal from your calorie and protein targets and the pans you own. It writes one shopping list, schedules the cook around your oven and burners, and logs each portion from the number on your kitchen scale.

  • 8,000+ foods to search
  • 13 training splits
  • 1 tap to log a prepped meal

TestFlight is Apple's app for testing new apps. You'll get one email when your invite is ready, and nothing else.

A week of meals built from your targets and your pans

Tell Plate & Kettle your goal, the days you train and what's in your kitchen. It picks a recipe for every meal and sizes each batch to the pan you'll cook it in, then offers to fill the pan when a few more portions would fit. Change a portion and the macros, the shopping list and the cost all recount on the spot.

From the sample week in the picture: three recipes, two meals a day for five days and an afternoon snack.

  6. PortionWeigh, split and label every container
The Plan screen: Peanut Tofu Stir-Fry at 5 portions, 799 kcal and 49 g protein each, with buttons to adjust macros and batch size

The same list costs $117.47 at one store and $96.14 across three

Plate & Kettle adds up every recipe, subtracts what's already in your kitchen and rounds each item up to the pack size stores actually sell. Pick the stores you shop at and it prices the fastest trip next to the cheapest one, so you can decide whether $21 is worth two more stops.

Check things off in the aisle, or send the list to a grocery basket for pickup or delivery. Tap Shopping Done and everything you bought lands in your kitchen, ready for cook day.

The Shop screen: one stop at a full supermarket for $117.47, two stops for $100.25, three stops for $96.14

One cook, one oven and every burner on a single run sheet

Each recipe gets scheduled against the equipment you own, so the oven preheats while the rice simmers and the chicken rests while the tofu sears. Follow the run sheet one step at a time with a timer for each stage. Hands-Free reads every step out loud, and the step you're on stays on your Lock Screen.

Every container carries macros from your own scale

Chicken loses about a quarter of its weight as water when it cooks, so 6 oz of cooked chicken holds more protein than 6 oz of raw. Weigh each part of the batch once it's done and Plate & Kettle splits it by weight, then labels every container with its weight, calories, protein, carbs, fat and use-by date.

The portions go into the fridge on your Today screen, already weighed and ready to log.

Container labels for Harissa Chicken with Chickpeas and Lemon: 17.6 oz, 653 calories, 57 g protein, use by Monday, November 2

A prepped meal goes in the log with one tap

Tap Log It on a portion from the fridge and its calories and macros come straight off what's left for the day. For everything else, search more than 8,000 foods, scan a barcode, snap a nutrition label, or just say what you ate, like "two eggs and a cup of oats," and Plate & Kettle works out the amounts.

A day's totals always equal the sum of the rows you logged.

The Today screen: 1,742 kcal left after logging a 653 kcal lunch, with protein, carbs and fat bars and four portions left in the fridge

Thirteen splits built in, and every set logged with one thumb

Log the weight, the reps and your reps in reserve (how many more you could have done) for every set. The rest timer starts on its own and moves to your Lock Screen with the next set's numbers ready to adjust and log without opening the app.

The first time you do a lift, Plate & Kettle starts the weight light on purpose and tells you how far to step up for the next set. Push/pull/legs, upper/lower and full body are all there, and you can build your own templates.

A training session: Barbell Bench Press with a rest timer at 2:43, form cues and a logged set of 185 lb for 8 reps

A weekly check-in moves your targets from your own trend weight

Choose Lose Fat, Hold Steady or Build Muscle. Plate & Kettle sets your calories and protein, matches a training split to the days you have and schedules your cardio. Every week it reads your logs and your trend weight, works out what you're really burning, and adjusts the targets within set limits or tells you why it won't.

Ask Your Coach answers questions with your own numbers in view. Photo reading turns a plate, a nutrition label or a grocery receipt into food in your log or your kitchen.

The Coaching screen: a 12-week Lose Fat plan at 2,300 kcal and 180 g protein a day, with upper/lower lifting twice a week
