Meal plans for your clientsdrafted in minutes
Ration Lab is a meal-planning tool for dietitians and nutritionists. Enter your client's details and it drafts a full meal plan with recipes, a shopping list and a nutrient check. You review it, approve it and share it under your own brand.
Access is by invitation while we work with our first practices.
What each plan includes
- A day-by-day meal plan
- One to seven days, with the meals and snacks you choose. Give your client a set menu, or two options for each meal.
- Recipes your client can cook
- Clear steps, with amounts in grams and kitchen measures. Most lunches and dinners are cooked once and eaten twice to save time.
- A shopping list
- Every food for the whole plan, grouped by supermarket aisle and rounded up to sensible amounts.
- A nutrient summary for you
- Every day must meet the NHMRC Nutrient Reference Values and stay under the upper limits. Foods come first, and a daily supplement is added only when foods alone fall short. The summary shows each nutrient for each day.
- Your branding
- Your practice name, logo, colours and contact line on every page of the PDF.
How it works
Enter your client's details
Age, height, weight, activity, food allergies, diet pattern, cultural preferences, budget and cooking skill. You identify the client with your own client code.
Ration Lab drafts the plan
It sets energy and nutrient targets, picks recipes your client can eat, and works out every amount so each day meets the targets.
You review and approve
Read the draft and the nutrient summary. If it suits your client, approve it and download the PDF to share.
You stay in charge
Ration Lab is a planning tool for qualified practitioners. It does not give advice to your clients and it does not replace your judgement.
Every plan is a draft until you review it and approve it. Only approved plans carry your sign-off, and your client only sees a plan if you share it.
Built on Australian reference data
NHMRC targets
Energy and nutrient targets follow the NHMRC Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand, by age, sex and life stage.
2,169 foods
Food values come from the Australian Food Composition Database (FSANZ), with USDA data to fill gaps. Recipes are built from 53 recipe templates.
Allergens and diets
Recipes leave out foods your client is allergic to, using the FSANZ allergen list. Vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, halal and kosher-friendly options are included.
Client privacy
Clients are identified by your own code. A first name is optional and only printed on the PDF. You never enter contact details.
